Siehst du mich

Zwischen Erde und Himmel?
Nie ging einer über meinen Pfad.

Aber dein Antlitz wärmt meine Welt,
Von dir geht alles Blühen aus.

Wenn du mich ansiehst,
Wird mein Herz süß.

Ich liege unter deinem Lächeln
Und lerne Tag und Nacht bereiten,

Dich hinzaubern und vergehen lassen,
Immer spiele ich das eine Spiel.

Me vois‑tu

Entre ciel et terre ?
Jamais personne ne va mon chemin.

Mais ton visage réchauffe mon univers,
De toi procède toute floraison.

Lorsque tu me regardes
Mon cœur s'adoucit.

Je suis sous ton sourire
Et apprends à préparer  nuit et jour,

À te faire apparaître et disparaître,
Je joue toujours cet unique jeu.
