Et deux par deux
And two by two
Sans compter nos morts
Not counting our dead
Qu'on laisse derrière des ébauches fanées
That we leave behind, faded sketches
Des secrets de carrière
Career secrets
Et trois par trois
And three by three
Nos cœurs essoufflés
Our breathless hearts
Des secousses folles, on réfléchit plus tard
Wild tremors, we’ll think later
Maintenant, il faut rêver
Now, we must dream
Et je ne sais plus à quoi penser
And I no longer know what to think
C'est dur d'être libre comme toi
It's hard to be free like you
Et je ne sais plus à qui penser
And I no longer know who to think of
C'est fini rhabille-toi
It's over, get dressed again
Et deux par deux
And two by two
On avale nos mots
We swallow our words
C'est dur d'oublier ce que l'on connaît et ce qui imprègne nos peaux
It's hard to forget what we know and what imprints our skin
Et trois par trois
And three by three
Nos cœurs de la partie
Our hearts are in the game
On joue aux couteaux et on peut partager la même lit
We play with knives and can share the same bed
Et je ne sais plus à quoi penser
And I no longer know what to think
C'est dur d'être libre comme toi
It's hard to be free like you
Et je ne sais plus à qui penser
And I no longer know who to think of
C'est fini, rhabille-toi
It's over, get dressed again
Et je ne sais plus à quoi penser
And I no longer know what to think of
C'est dur d'être libre comme toi
It's hard to be free like you
Et je ne sais plus à qui penser
And I no longer know who to think of
C'est fini, rhabille-toi
It's over, get dressed again
Et deux par deux
And two by two
On avale nos mots
We swallow our words
C'est dur d'oublier ce que l'on a connu qui a imprégné nos peaux
It's hard to forget what we've known that has stained our skins
Et trois par trois
And three by three
Nos cœurs de la partie
Our hearts are in the game
On joue aux couteaux et on peut partager la même lit
We play with knives and can share the same bed
