Ma valise est lourde de verre brisé.
My suitcase is heavy with broken glass.
Je n'ai plus d'image pour me rassurer.

Le poudrier vide gît sur le tapis.

Je sors enfin seule dans la nuit.
I finally go out alone into the night.

Je vois ton visage.
I see your face.
Je ne regarde plus le mien.
I am no longer looking at mine.
Je vois ton visage.
I see your face.

La serveuse a des rides comme des chemins.
The waitress has wrinkles like paths.
Je lis son histoire au creux de ses mains.
I read her story in the hollow of her hands.
L'homme du métro a les yeux fatigués.
The man on the subway has tired eyes.
Je n'ai jamais pris le temps d'observer.
I never took the time to observe.

J'ai passé vingt ans dans la vanité.

Mon cadre retenait un monde figé.
My frame held a frozen world.
Maintenant la vitre est devenue fenêtre.

C'est une autre façon d'enfin apparaître.
It is another way to finally appear.
