Nancy, if you knew
How beautiful the sea is tonight
When the moon rose
I thought I saw you
On the path

The shooting star escaped
Out of sight
With closed eyes, I embroidered
The golden threads of your body

The night revealed
Your hidden audacities
The night disarmed
My best-kept dreams

Nancy, if you knew
How beautiful the sea is tonight
When the moon rose
I thought I saw you
Dancing in the distance

Nancy, it's slow
It's haunting, Nancy
Nancy, it's so slow
So haunting, Nancy

You have already put on your white dress
And your face is radiant
Lying as if fainted
I imagine you smiling
As Rimbaud roughly said
Eternity, what, is found again
O beautiful Arthur, the torment is certain
Nancy has gone away, dancing in the distance

Nancy, it's slow
It's haunting, Nancy
Nancy, it's so slow
So haunting, Nancy
