  1. La nuit 17 à 22 nous étions

    The night from 17 to 22 we were there

  2. Toi allongé, délié d'ornements froids

    You lying down, unbound from cold adornments

  3. Toi allongé, délié d'ornements froids

    You lying down, unbound from cold adornments

  4. Moi, dans une colère qui ne me ressemblait pas

    Me, in a rage that didn't feel like me

  5. Nuit 50 j'ai forcé le sang et la foi

    Night 50 I forced blood and faith

  6. Nuit 50 j'ai forcé le sang et la foi

    Night 50 I forced blood and faith

  7. I want it open, so cut it open

    I want it open, so cut it open

  8. Cut it open so you could see through it

    Cut it open so you could see through it

  9. And now I'm less like

    And now I'm less like

  10. Now I'm less like

    Now I'm less like

  11. Now I'm less like for the rain to come through

    Now I'm not so keen on the rain to come through

  12. Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli

    I believe that numbers fight against oblivion

  13. Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53

    And I already hate the sad night

  14. Nuit 52, tu paraissais si menacée

    Night 52, you looked so threatened

  15. Avide des vents qui venaient disperser

    Eager for the winds that came to scatter

  16. Avide des vents qui venaient disperser

    Eager for the winds that came to scatter

  17. 30, sa parfaite obscurité est ta revanche

    30, its perfect darkness is your revenge

  18. Au petit matin c'est l'horizon qui penche

    At dawn, it's the horizon that leans

  19. Au petit matin c'est l'horizon qui penche

    In the early morning, it's the horizon that tilts

  20. I want it open, so cut it open

    I want it open, so tear it wide.

  21. Cut it open so you could see through me

    Cut it open so you could see through me

  22. And now I'm less like

    And now I'm less like

  23. Now I'm less like

    Now I'm less like

  24. Now I'm less like for the rain to come through

    Now I'm less like for the rain to come through

  25. Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli

    I believe that the number fights against oblivion

  26. Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53

    And I already hate the sad night 53

  27. Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli

    I believe that the number fights against oblivion

  28. Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53

    And I already hate the sad night 53
