L'ange est sublime sur ton corps dessiné
The angel is sublime on your drawn body
Et larvé de spleen, de mésanges oubliés
And marinated in melancholy, in forgotten tits
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 qui a même brisé ta glace
How far is the hero who even broke your ice
Toi tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Cœur invincible sur ton cheval décidé
Invincible heart on your determined horse
Tu es tombé lucide écrasée à leurs pieds
You fell lucid, crushed at their feet
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one else but me
Caresse
Caress
Nul autre que moi
No one else but me
Clouée d'épines à la croix retournée
Nailed with thorns to the upside-down cross
Ton œil est résine et leurs regards détournés
Your eye is resin and their gazes averted
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Supplie l'abîme de tes lèvres dépliées
Beg the abyss of your unfolded lips
Le néant se signe et les ombres sont larguées
Nothingness signs itself 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 que les arbres sont couchés
Carry as high as the trees are laid down
Le sombre drapeau que tes larmes ont brûlé
The dark flag that your tears have burned
Tu pardonnes
You forgive
Pourtant tu pardonnes
Yet you forgive
Pour moi tu pardonnes
You forgive for me
Pour moi tu pardonnes
You forgive for me
