I watch them flap their wings
These swallows that circle around you
As they search for themselves in your gaze
They who will not have your love
It attracts them like light
These hearts like you, half-closed
But my love, go ahead, tell them
That we do not cage birds

I admire you from the ground
Flying on the flanks of cliffs
The more I look for you, the more I lose you
In this sky of ice and embers

You who know things we don't know
Like the mad, like the children
Tell me about the world you see up there
Tell me about the inside

Oh, keep it, your freedom
It is your long winter coat
It is your grace and your burden
Between man and bird

I like to imagine you dancing
Far away in this limitless sky
Dreaming that one day, you will let me marry
Your fugues and your flight

I will make a hostage of your being
Your body, your lips and on your back
My fingers will draw rivers
Traces of my claws on your skin

I will kiss you (We will kiss)
With so much rage (Oh, so much rage)
So that your body (So that your hours)
Remembers (Remembers)
My madness, my face
That my abandonment reaches you

You will be able to drink on my lips the desire to hold back the night
Never again will the day rise so as not to disturb our cries
I will invent islands between my curves for you to take refuge
When too caged you will need to regain your freedom
Oh my love, my love, I know
That you will leave soon
We do not cage birds

I opened my eyes this morning
And you had already left
The curtains fly in drawing
On my slightly yellowed white walls
Like a sigh, you slipped away
In the middle of our night
To whose arms have you flown
To what new reverie?
