For those who are interested, here are English translations of the two previously unrecorded songs (for Lara) on the 'best of' CD. Of course, 'Ensemble' has been recorded before. Note that in the first song, it would seem more sensible to interpret the lyrics to mean 'we would love each other quietly', but I think 'softly' fits here in the sense that it was not very passionate. As usual, corrections/improvements are welcome.

On s'aimerait tout bas
We Would Love Each Other Softly
He would kiss me on the cheek
Would not appreciate the music
For all the rest he would know all
I would hold a unique place,
In his life I would say to you
I would call him some time
Tired of seeing the angels pass
I would tell him anything,
I would say to him, I disturb you
Then he would smile at me.
(Refrain 2 times)
We would love each other softly
While friends at a distance
We would love each other in silence
Like one plays, like one dances,
Like one cries sometimes
When one thinks of someone
And that person doesn’t think
We have this grief then
This grief then (on alternate 2nd refrain)
One would get angered by a mistake,
On a detail full of importance
That would last as long as it must,
For us to return to the confidences,
And I would forget all his faults,
We would pass each other somewhere
In the middle of our tours of the earth,
We would thank chance,
He would have the talent of being silent
That he is the only one to know
We would love each other softly
While being friends at a distance
We would love each other in silence
Like one plays, like one dances,
Like one cries sometimes
When one thinks of someone
And that person doesn’t think
We have this grief then
This grief then (on alternate 2nd refrain)

Ensemble
Together
At the indifference
I don’t want to believe anymore
The unspoken silences
They destroy us, separate us
It is a prison for Hope
Together
The same cry which makes us
Alike
And in this world like a wounded bird
In our entwined arms
An angel passed
Life is a challenge
Each day face some change
From tears to laughter
From laughter again, back to tears
So much colors to chase
Away your fears
Together
The same cry which makes us
Alike
And in this world like a wounded bird
In our entwined arms
An angel passed
I love you I love you I love you
In the unspoken silences
They destroy us, separate us
It is a prayer for hope…
Together
The same cry which makes us
Alike
And in this world like a wounded bird
In our entwined arms
An angel passed
I can’t stop loving you baby
An angel passed
