La Madone au Nord
The Madonna in the North
Et le lac se dessine
And the lake takes shape
Courageux et fort
Brave and strong
Où rien ne respire
Where nothing breathes
Corps contre corps
Body against body
Ciel contre cils
Sky against lashes
La forêt se tord
The forest twists
L'horizon soupire
The horizon sighs
T'aimer sur les bords du lac
To love you by the edges of the lake
Ton coeur sur mon corps qui respire
Your heart on my body that breathes
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as men look at us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
In love with the shadow and the worst
Je reviendrai fort
I will return strong
Surprendre la cime
To surprise the summit
La rivière et l'or
The river and the gold
Me font prendre racine
Make me take root
J'ai trompé la mort
I cheated death
La pente est facile
The slope is easy
Serre-moi encore
Hold me tight again
Que mes anges vacillent
Let my angels waver
T'aimer sur les bords du lac
Loving you by the edges of the lake
Ton coeur sur mon corps qui respire
Your heart on my breathing body
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as the men are watching us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
Lovers of the shadow and the worst
T'aimer sur les bords du lac
Loving you by the edges of the lake
Ton coeur sur mon corps qui respire
Your heart on my breathing body
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as the men are watching us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
Lovers of the shadow and the worst
Si demain tu regrettes le miroir écorché
If tomorrow you regret the wounded mirror
Que le lac te reflète promets-moi d'oublier
That the lake reflects you, promise me to forget
Si demain tu regrettes le miroir écorché
If tomorrow you regret the scarred mirror
Que le lac te reflète promets-moi d'oublier
That the lake reflects you, promise me to forget
T'aimer sur les bords du lac
To love you on the shores of the lake
Ton coeur sur mon corps qui respire
Your heart on my body that breathes
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as men are watching us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
Lovers of the shadow and the worst
T'aimer sur les bords du lac
To love you on the shores of the lake
Ton coeur sur mon corps qui respire
Your heart on my body that breathes
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as men are watching us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
Lovers of the shadow and the worst
Pourvu que les hommes nous regardent
As long as the men look at us
Amoureux de l'ombre et du pire
In love with the shadow and the worst
