English translation of  'Oui.'

Yes.

Tonight at six

when darkness fell

from a sky filled with rain and thunder

I hesitated for long seconds

to light the lamp,

thát one which lights

the History of Tears poster

yes.

Yes,

I was afraid to see appearing

your radiant face.

A dream,

that I live each moment

like a scary fantasy I'm

running after since

what seems to me

an eternity.

Tomorrow at six

when dawn leaves the

stormy night

I will turn off

- without hesitating-

the lamp,

thát one which lights

the History of Tears poster

yes.

Yes,

I will cry your absence

at daybreak,

because daylight makes me sad. 

I will pour my tears until the evening

while waiting impatiently for the hour. 

Yes,

I hear the bell-tower

and I get up.
