Pâle Septembre
Pale September
Comme il est loin le temps du ciel sans cendres
How far away is the time of the sky without ashes
Il serait temps de s'entendre sur le nombre de jours qui
It’s about time we agree on the number of days that
Jonchent le sol d'Octobre
Littering the ground of October
Mâle si tendre au début de Novembre
Gentle male in early November
Devint sourd aux avances de l'amour
Became deaf to love's approaches
Mais quel mal me prit de m'éprendre de lui
But what folly took hold of me to fall for him
Sale Décembre
Filthy December
Comme il est lourd le ciel
How heavy the sky is
Sais-tu que les statues de sel ont cessé de t'attendre
Do you know that the salt statues have stopped waiting for you
Pâle septembre, entends-tu le glas que je sonne
Pale September, do you hear the bell I toll
Je t'aime toujours
I still love you
Je t'aime toujours
I still love you
Je t'aime toujours d'amour
I still love you with all my heart
Je sème l'amour
I sow love
(Je t'aime toujours, je t'aime toujours) les saisons passent mais de grâce
(I still love you, I still love you) the seasons pass but please
Faisons semblant qu'elles nous ressemblent (Je t'aime toujours d'amour, je sème l'amour)
Let's pretend they resemble us (I still love you with all my heart, I sow love)
(Je t'aime toujours, je t'aime toujours) Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe de la tour
(I still love you, I still love you) But who is that man falling from the tower
(Je t'aime toujours d'amour, je sème l'amour) Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe des cieux
(I still love you with all my heart, I sow love) But who is that man falling from the skies
(Je t'aime toujours, je t'aime toujours) Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe amoureux
(I still love you, I still love you) But who is that man falling in love
I'll never go to the sun I'll never ever know if he's alive
I'll never go to the sun, I'll never ever know if he's alive
I'll never reach the sun I'll never ever know if he is still alive
I'll never reach the sun, I'll never ever know if he is still alive
I'll never reach the sun
I'll never reach the sun
Pâle Septembre
Pale September
Comme il est loin le temps du ciel sans cendres
How far away is the time of a sky without ashes
Il serait temps de s'entendre
It's about time we understand each other
