| Burano (original) | Burano (translation) |
|---|---|
| La mer, c'était profond | The sea was deep |
| Comme un dépôt d’or pur | Like a deposit of pure gold |
| Et le sentier marqué | And the path marked |
| C’est sûr | It's certain |
| Le sel a tout rouillé; | The salt has rusted everything; |
| Aral touchait le fond; | Aral was hitting rock bottom; |
| De longs doigts vont | Long fingers go |
| Penchés | Leaning |
| Tout blonds | All blond |
| Voilà | There |
| C’est le bateau | This is the boat |
| Qui va à Burano | Who goes to Burano |
| Vers les murs colorés | Towards the colored walls |
| Le sol à découvert: | Uncovered ground: |
| Mais où sont les barrières? | But where are the barriers? |
| Des drapeaux blancs | white flags |
| Plantés: | Planted: |
| C’est tout | That's all |
| Et paumée comme jamais | And lost as ever |
| Mais qu’articulais-tu? | But what were you articulating? |
| Tu voudrais… Tu voulais… | You would... You would... |
| Que veux-tu? | What do you want? |
| Est-ce que c’est le bateau | Is this the boat |
| Qui va à Burano | Who goes to Burano |
| Vers les murs colorés? | Towards colored walls? |
| Vers les murs colorés | Towards the colored walls |
| Les lézardes abimées | Damaged cracks |
| Les ruelles habillées | The dressed alleys |
| De sel | Salt |
