Ô Sky , Ô infinite
Under your vault, color azure
I look at you and reassure me,
Of all my tones, sometimes obscure
Not a flash, not even a wound
Do not take me away from your sphere, from your pure web
I look at you, you look at me
And all is said, in the silence of my soul
Opens up a little more,
Every day, every life
Your huge sheet of snow
Blue or gray satin
And even if our eyes
Attach more to clouds
Take them always
A bit higher
A little further
Let them not stop at mirages.
The sun is there, behind, at its anchorage
He waits his turn, peaceful and wise
Let the page be turned to him,
So proud, happy just like a God
He points his crown
And shines with all its lights
And in its light
Majestic beauty
I find my heart
My warmth, my truth.
Ô Sky,
Ô Infinite!
