Yo
Se ha llenado de luces
mi corazón de seda,
de campanas perdidas,
de lirios y de abejas,
y yo me iré muy lejos,
más allá de esas sierras,
más allá de los mares,
cerca de las estrellas,

Moi
Il s'est rempli de lumière
mon cœur de soi,
de cloches perdues,
de lys et d'abeilles,
et je m'en irai très loin,
au-delà de ces montagnes,
au-delà des mers,

pour demander au Christ
notre Seigneur de me rendre
mon âme d'enfant d'autrefois,
mûrie de légendes,
avec mon chapeau à plumes
et l'épée en bois.
