La Solitude
Une pièce vide et carrée. 
Les quatre murs sont des miroirs. 
Le sol et la plafond également. 
Si je souris, l'univers est sourire. 
Si je pleure, l'existence est souffrance. 
Si j'aime, je peux fermer les yeux. 
Et voir les reflets, parfois brisés, 
de tes yeux dans le miroir de ton âme. 
Être avec, être sans, être quand même.

Solitude
Empty square room. 
The four walls are mirrors. 
Also the ceiling and the footing.
When I am smiling, the whole universe is smile. 
When I am crying, the whole existence is suffering. 
When I am in love then I can close my eyes. 
And see the reflections, somewhat distorted, 
of your eyes in the mirror of your soul. 
Be with, be without, be anyway.
