She always walked under the arches of nights And everywhere she went She left The mark of broken things.

Et partout où elle a passé Elle a laissé L’empreinte des choses brisées.

Las sombras que tú creas no tienen derecho a la noche.

She had in the tranquility of her body A little snowball the color of an eye She had on her shoulders A spot of silence a spot of rose A lid on her breast Her hands and supple singing arches shattered the light She sang the moments without falling asleep.

Elle se refuse toujours à comprendre, à entendre, Elle rit pour cacher sa terreur d'elle-même. Elle a toujours marché sous les arches des nuits, Et partout où elle a passé, Elle a laissé l'empreinte des choses brisées.
