Endormie
Asleep
Cheveux mouillés
Wet hair
Bras repliés
Arms folded
Retrouvée fenêtre ouverte
Found again, window open
L'air
The air
Par la fenêtre
Through the window
Pour que l'Amour me quitte...
So that Love leaves me...
L'Amour me quitte
Love leaves me
Pour que l'Amour me quitte...
So that Love leaves me...
Amour...
Love...
En dormant j'ai rêvé
While sleeping I dreamed
Des milles lianes
Of a thousand vines
Pagayé,
Paddled,
Pagayé
Paddled
Pour que l'Amour me quitte
So that Love would leave me
L'Amour me quitte
Love would leave me
Pour que l'Amour me quitte...
So that Love would leave me...
Amour...
Love...
Réveillée
Awakened
La lumière pâle
The pale light
Des murs de l'hôpital
From the walls of the hospital
Trop aimer c'est pas normal
Loving too much is not normal
Un coeur si mal
A heart so hurt
Accroché,
Hanging on,
Décroché
Letting go
Pour que l'Amour me quitte
So that Love leaves me
Amour
Love
