Jamais trop tard (Never Too Late)

En temps de malheur maudit  
une branche séparée que je tiens  
lier le salaire du péché  
à ma plume de vertus flétrissantes,  
   
debout stagnant  
au carrefour de la vie  
dans un océan de regrets,  
   
Je prends le premier échelon d'or  
sur l'échelle de la rédemption  
cet obstacle a toujours été,  
   
avant,  
 
je me couchais et regardais  
empereur de la procrastination  
mes dons enracinés je doutais,  
   
se lever comme une couvée  
l'enfer de la faim  
et jeter mon yawp  
dans le vent je vais atterrir  
et pontifier une pierre précieuse  
forêt de magnificence  
liquéfier chaque oreillette.

In times of cursed doom  
a separate branch that I hold  
to bind the wages of sin  
to my pen of withering virtues,  
   
standing stagnant  
at the crossroads of life  
in an ocean of regrets,  
   
I take the first rung of gold  
on the ladder of redemption  
this obstacle has always been,  
   
before,    
   
I went to bed and I watched  
emperor of procrastination  
my rooted gifts I doubted,  
   
to rise up like a brood  
the hell of hunger  
and throw my yawp  
in the wind I'm going to land  
and pontificate a gemstone  
forest of magnificence  
liquefy each atrium.
