Translation of Je te promets from French to English
I promise you the salt from the kiss of my mouth
I promise you the honey from my hand that touches you
I promise you the sky, above your bed
Flowers and laces
So that your nights are sweet
I promise you the key to the secrets of my soul
I promise you life, from my laughter to my tears
I promise you fire instead of weapons
Never again goodbyes, only farewells
I believe in it like the Earth, I believe in it like the sun
I believe in it like a child, as one can believe in the sky
I believe in it like your skin, like your arms that hold me
I promise you a story different from the others
I need so much to believe in it again
I promise you days all blue like your veins
I promise you nights red like your dreams
Incandescent hours and white minutes
Carefree seconds to the rhythm of your hips
I promise you my arms to carry your anxieties
I promise you my hands for you to kiss
I promise you my eyes if you can no longer see
I promise to be happy if you have no more hope
I believe in it like the Earth, I believe in it like the sun
I believe in it like a child, as one can believe in the sky
I believe in it like your skin, like your arms that hold me
I promise you a story different from the others
If you help me to believe in it again
And even if it's not true, if it's been done to you too much
If the words are worn out, as if written in chalk
We make great fires by rubbing stones
Maybe with time, by the force of believing
We can just try to see
And even if it's not true, even if I lie
If the words are worn out, light as the wind
And even if our story ends in the morning
I promise you a moment of fever and sweetness
Not all night but a few hours
I promise you the salt from the kiss of my mouth
I promise you the honey from my hand that touches you
I promise you the sky, above your bed
Flowers and laces
So that your nights are sweet
