La nuit 17 à 22 nous étions là
The night from 17 to 22 we were there
Toi allongé, délié d'ornements froids
You lying down, unbound from cold adornments
Toi allongé, délié d'ornements froids
You lying down, unbound from cold adornments
Moi, dans une colère qui ne me ressemblait pas
Me, in a rage that didn't feel like me
Nuit 50 j'ai forcé le sang et la foi
Night 50 I forced blood and faith
Nuit 50 j'ai forcé le sang et la foi
Night 50 I forced blood and faith
I want it open, so cut it open
I want it open, so cut it open
Cut it open so you could see through it
Cut it open so you could see through it
And now I'm less like
And now I'm less like
Now I'm less like
Now I'm less like
Now I'm less like for the rain to come through
Now I'm not so keen on the rain to come through
Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli
I believe that numbers fight against oblivion
Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53
And I already hate the sad night
Nuit 52, tu paraissais si menacée
Night 52, you looked so threatened
Avide des vents qui venaient disperser
Eager for the winds that came to scatter
Avide des vents qui venaient disperser
Eager for the winds that came to scatter
30, sa parfaite obscurité est ta revanche
30, its perfect darkness is your revenge
Au petit matin c'est l'horizon qui penche
At dawn, it's the horizon that leans
Au petit matin c'est l'horizon qui penche
In the early morning, it's the horizon that tilts
I want it open, so cut it open
I want it open, so tear it wide.
Cut it open so you could see through me
Cut it open so you could see through me
And now I'm less like
And now I'm less like
Now I'm less like
Now I'm less like
Now I'm less like for the rain to come through
Now I'm less like for the rain to come through
Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli
I believe that the number fights against oblivion
Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53
And I already hate the sad night 53
Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l'oubli
I believe that the number fights against oblivion
Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53
And I already hate the sad night 53
