Je voudrais des fleurs pour tes mains
Et pour tes pas
Un petit sentier d'herbe et de sable
Qui monte un peu et qui descende
Et tourne et semble
S'en aller au fond du silence
Un tout petit sentier de sable
Où marqueraient un peu tes pas
Nos pas
Ensemble!

...
I would like flowers for your hands
And for your footstep
A little path of herbs and sand
Which climbs a little and then descends
And turns and seems
To run to the bottom of the silence,
A very small path of sand
Where would mark lightly your steps,
Our steps,
Together!
