English translation

A life of loving you

• 1. The original lit. says "our love remains/lasts", sung by Alice D.-P., and "our love is dying", said by Victor B., but the two sound almost the same, which I tried to keep.
• 2. This line is somewhat cryptic, and poetic. "enlacer" means to hug, to embrace, but it's a little weird to use it like that. It's often used reflexively, "ils se sont enlacés" (they hugged). Additionally, "verso" is the name of the character, but it also means the back side, the reverso. There might be a hidden meaning. Additionally, the line sounds similar to the next one, "Verso effacé" (erased).
• 3. Meaning bursting, explosion, but also connected with the phrase "burst out laugh" (éclater de rire)
• 4. or "painting" (noun)
• 5. a "brisure" is a small chip, a small broken part or the act of it breaking
• 6. "peine" is more psychical than physical
• 7. "s'égrener" to drop off the stalk, to rattle off, to tick away (time)
• 8. I think that this time, "peindre l'amour etc." is connected to what precedes, and is meant as in the future. In French, future is not modal as in English (it's a conjugation), so we cannot link several futures by saying "we will paint the chiaroscuro, paint love, paint life" etc., but I think they would have done it if it had been in English in the first place.
