I've been working on this for awhile, and this is the best translation I've found, compiled from several sources, then modified to make the most sense (grammatically and symbolically). I even tried to match it up with the French lyrics so that it can be sung in the same rhythm, though it doesn't rhyme (but come on, it's a translation).
I'm not afraid of the road.
we should enjoy it, taste it,
with all it's meanders, pot holes
There, all will be ok.
the wind will carry us.
your message to ursa major,
as well as the path of our race
and those moments, soft as velvet,
they will all lead to nothing.
the wind will carry them away.
everything will disappear
but the wind will carry us.
the caress as well as the grapeshot,
even the wound that tears us apart.
all the palaces built,
those of yesterday and tomorrow,
the wind will carry them away.
Genetics cramped in shoulderbelts,
the chromosomes in our atmosphere.
the taxis for galaxies
and my flying carpet too,
the wind will carry them away.
everything will disappear
but the wind will carry us.
The fragrance of our perished years,
who comes knocking at your door?
infinite destinies.
We get one but will it stay?
the wind will carry it away.
while the tide is rising,
and each of us counts his expenses,
I collect in the shelter of my shadow
the dust of you
the wind will carry it away
everything will disappear
but the wind will carry us.
