Attends mon cygne
Wait for my swan
Que le lac nous échappe
As the lake slips away from us
Que le lac nous échappe
As the lake slips away from us
Pris dans les lignes
Caught in the lines
De mes sombres archives
Of my dark archives
De mes sombres archives
Of my dark archives
Regarde mon cygne
Look at my swan
C'est les hommes qui se targuent
It's the men who boast
D'être l'ange et l'acide
Of being the angel and the acid
Lis dans les lignes
Read between the lines
De leurs langues nocives
From their harmful tongues
De leurs langues nocives
From their harmful tongues
Attends mon cygne
Wait for me, my swan
Que l'un d'eux te regarde
So that one of them looks at you
Que l'un d'eux te regarde
So that one of them looks at you
Pour prendre la cime
To take the peak
De tes ailes lascives
Of your languorous wings
De tes ailes passives
Of your passive wings
Le vent se charge
The wind carries
De ces hommes qui affirment
These men who assert
Être l'ange et l'acide
To be the angel and the acid
Pris dans les cages
Caught in the cages
De leurs ombres massives
Of their massive shadows
De leurs ombres massives
Of their massive shadows
Le vent se calme
The wind quiets down
Sous les palmes des cygnes
Beneath the palms of the swans
Sous les palmes des cygnes
Beneath the palms of the swans
Les ombres du lac
The shadows of the lake
Ont de sombres archives

Ont de sombres archives

Attends mon cygne
Wait for me, my swan
Que le lac nous échappe
As the lake slips away from us

As the lake slips away from us
Pris dans les lignes

De mes sombres archives
Of my dark archives
De mes sombres archives
Of my dark archives
Attends mon cygne
Wait for me, my swan
Que le lac nous échappe
As the lake slips away from us
Que le lac nous échappe
