My friend, I know, you only live for him
He knows it too, but he doesn't see you
Like me, beg my mouth to say
That has confessed to me between drinks
That it is with your skin that he dreams of at night
And that you go crazy with each button that
You unbutton thinking about his hands
He hasn't seen you tremble, waiting
A word, some gesture, a hug
He doesn't see you like me sighing
With eyes wide open
Hear me name you
Oh my friend! I know and so does he

My friend, I don't know what to say
Nor what to do to see you happy
I wish I could rule in the soul or in freedom
Which what he lacks
Fill your pockets with wars won
Of dreams and renewed illusions
I want to give you some poetry
You think I'm breaking the news

My friend, hopefully one day listening to my song
Suddenly, you'll understand that what I never wanted was to tell your story
Because it could be touching
But, forgive me, my friend
It's not intelligence or wisdom
This is my way of saying things
It's not that it's my job, it's that it's my language

And my friend, princess of an infinite tale
My friend, I only want you to count on me
My friend, let's see if one of these days
I finally learn
To speak without having to take so many detours
All this history matters to me
Because you're my friend, oh no

My friend, I know, you only live for him
He knows it too, but he doesn't see you
Like me, beg my mouth to say
That has confessed to me between drinks
That it is with your skin that he dreams of at night

My friend, I don't know what to say
Nor what to do to see you happy
I wish I could rule in the soul or in freedom
Which what he lacks
Fill your pockets with wars won
Of dreams and renewed illusions
I want to give you some poetry
You think I'm breaking the news

And my friend, princess of an infinite tale
My friend, I only want you to count on me
My friend, let's see if one of these days
I finally learn
To speak without having to take so many detours
All this history matters to me
Because you're my friend
My friend, princess of an infinite tale
My friend, I only want you to count on me

My friend, let's see if one of these days
I finally learn
To speak without having to take so many detours
All this history matters to me
Because you are my friend, oh no, yeah
