L'ange est sublime sur ton corps
The angel is sublime on your body
Dessiné, lavé de spleen
Drawn, washed of spleen
De mes anges oubliés
Of my forgotten angels
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Couvert de crocs dans les matins qui crachent
Covered in fangs in the mornings that spit
Qu'il est loin le héros
How far the hero is
Qui a même brisé ta glace
Who even broke your ice
Toi tu pardonnes
You, you forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Cœur invincible
Invincible heart
Sur ton cheval décidé
On your steadfast horse
Tu es tombé lucide
You fell awake
Écrasé à leurs pieds
Crushed at their feet
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one but me
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one but me
Cloué d'épines à la croix
Nailed with thorns to the cross
Retourné, ton œil est résine
Turned away, your eye is resin
Et leurs regards détournés
And their averted gazes
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Supplie l'abîme de tes lèvres
Beg the abyss with your lips
Déplié, le néant se signe
Unfolded, the void signs itself
Et les ombres sont larguées
And the shadows are released
Et tu pardonnes
And you forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one but me
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one but me
Porte aussi haut
Carry so high
Que les arbres sont couchés
That the trees are laid low
Le sombre drapeau
The dark flag
Que tes larmes ont brûlé
That your tears have burned
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Pour moi tu pardonnes
For me, you forgive
Pour moi tu pardonnes
For me, you forgive
