Vous Ne Savez Pas Comment Les Papiers Brûlent

Jacques:
Sit here by my side awhile, 
By this newly lit fire
In the middle of this forest
Over which dusk has crawled over.

Look into the skies,
Wonder how the bright stars burn
Forget these crackling flames
And do not wonder how they burn.

Do not look in wonder
Past the dancing flames 
Into my hooded face, mon cher ami,
Look into the twilight skies instead

Mon ami:
Mais comment les papiers brûlent-ils? 
Et pourquoi?

Jacques:
Do not ask how,
Do not ask why
Non, je ne regrette rien
Laissez ces papiers brûler
Et tous mes souvenirs avec ça

Enjoy this warmth in silence,
For I have a long way to go
Miles to go to reach my dreams
I do not not know to where,
But I have already left
