I think this is so insanely beautiful. I hate most love songs because I don't think they're desperate enough, not impassioned and jagged and sincere enough. In this sense, I suppose it's Fiona Apple's "I'll Know" from the reverse perspective. Below is the translation, perhaps a bit ungainly in spots, but....
You,
Are you there tonight? Taxi, I go out
The door creaks a bit, I proceed in the dark
Three notes on the piano, I smile at the mirror
You,
You're there,
This time, as at the first time
When I was immortal and laughed at everything
And when all alone in the moonlight,
I cried out against the wolves
You,
Even without knowing you, I was walking toward you
You took me into your hands
Sometimes like an enfant terrible, sometimes like a lost child
I managed step by step, to be myself
To be free, just for one of your glances
When the wind came which felled the oaks,
I saw the time shedding blood, jealous birds laughing
When they wanted to tear me to pieces
They started from you
You,
You were already there when I ruined my voice
When I emptied my tears
From the bottom of the last glasses
Those nights where in your eyes,
I dried my anger
You,
You think, I ignore your smile over there?
You took me into your hands
Sometimes like an enfant terrible, sometimes like a lost child
I managed step by step, to be myself
To be there when I walk towards you
The round continues
The round continues and you stayed
Always at the end of the day, behind the red curtain
The adventure continues and we have succeeded
To dance with the dream in a velvet dress
And I sing for you
You know everything about me,
Everything that can't be said
Your lips are hardly moving
We lack the light
But the darkness unites us and I see you from here
Me,
I found my laughter, I found my life
In your hands which are trembling,
In words that I repeat
Tonight it's eight o'clock, we have a rendezvous
And the curtain rises ... Today I am fifteen
When I give myself to you ...
When I give myself to you ...
