Ses mains contrôlent bien mon corps
Her hands skillfully control my body
Et le rythme du soir nous berce dans le noir
And the rhythm of the night rocks us in the dark
Et le son s'éteint doucement alors que je ne vois plus
And the sound softly fades as I can no longer see
Danser le temps
Dancing through time
Le chaleur de nos étreintes devient suffocantes
The heat of our embraces becomes suffocating
J'en viens à me plaindre
I find myself complaining
Et tes mouvements saccadés raidissent mon cœur
And your jerky movements stiffen my heart
Mais qui tente de feindre
But who tries to pretend
Et j'ai voulu crier, m'emporter car je souffre
And I wanted to scream, to carry on because I suffer
Quand tu es en moi
When you are in me
Mais le doute se forme, m'emprisonne car je suis censée t'aimer
But doubt takes shape, trapping me because I'm supposed to love you
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go back
Ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
What I know is that I want to go back
Et mon ventre devient la piste d'une danse butoir de perte motrice
And my belly becomes the stage of a dance, a stalling loss of movement
Quand il me demande pardon
When he asks me for forgiveness
Dans son étreinte, je reprends tous les risques
In his embrace, I take back all the risks
La chaleur de notre violence, cette douleur intense qui toujours persiste
The heat of our violence, that intense pain which always lingers
Et je garde notre secret qui ronge mon âme, qui nourrit mes vices
And I keep our secret that gnaws at my soul, that feeds my vices
Et j'ai voulu crier, m'emporter car je souffre
And I wanted to scream, to lose myself because I suffer
Quand tu es en moi
When you are inside me
Mais le doute se forme, m'emprisonne car je suis censée t'aimer
But doubt takes shape, traps me as I'm supposed to love you
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go back
Ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
What I know is that I want to go back
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go back
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go back
Et j'ai voulu crier, m'emporter car je souffre
And I wanted to scream, to let go as I suffer
Quand tu es en moi
When you're inside me
Mais le doute se forme, m'emprisonne car je suis censée t'aimer
But doubt takes shape, traps me as I'm supposed to love you
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go back
Ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
What I know is that I want to go back
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go home
Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je veux rentrer
But what I know is that I want to go home
