It's beyond my control
C'est au-delà de mon contrôle
Je ne comprends plus pourquoi
I no longer understand why
J'ai du sang sur mes doigts
I've got blood on my fingers
Il faut que je te rassure
I need to reassure you
Je soignerais bien tes blessures mon amour
I would gladly heal your wounds, my love
Tu n'as plus vraiment le choix
You don't really have a choice anymore
Nos deux corps étendus, là
Our two bodies laid out, there
Qu'à l'aube ils se mélangent
At dawn, they blend together
Là tu as les yeux d'un ange mon amour
There you have the eyes of an angel, my love
Lâche
Let go
(It's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
It's stronger than you
Toujours en cavale
Always on the run
(It's beyond my control)
Tu dis, j'ai besoin de tes bras
You say, I need your arms
Oh lâche
Oh let go
(It's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
But it's stronger than you
Tu nous fais du mal
You harm us
(It's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Don't drift away from my arms
Je ne comprends plus pourquoi
I no longer understand why
J'ai du sang sur mes doigts
I have blood on my fingers
Dors en paix je t'assure
Sleep in peace, I assure you
Je veillerai ta sépulture mon amour
I'll watch over your grave, my love
C'était plus fort que moi
It was stronger than me
Même si je sens là l'effroi
Even if I feel the terror here
Envahir tout mon être
Invading my whole being
Je te rejoindrai peut-être mon amour
I might join you someday, my love
Lâche
Let go
(It's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
It's stronger than you
Toujours en cavale
Always on the run
(It's beyond my control)
Tu dis, j'ai besoin de tes bras
You say, I need your arms
Oh lâche
Oh let go
(It's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
But it's stronger than you
Tu nous fais du mal
You're hurting us
(It's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Don't drift away from my arms
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
Oh lâche
Oh coward
(It's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
But it's stronger than you
Tu nous fais du mal
You hurt us
(It's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Don't drift away from my arms
Lâche
Coward
(It's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
It's stronger than you
Toujours en cavale
Always on the run
(It's beyond my control)
Tu dis, j'ai besoin de tes bras
You say, I need your arms
Oh lâche
Oh let go
(It's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
But it's stronger than you
Tu nous fais du mal
You're hurting us
(It's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Don't drift away from my arms
Lâche
Let go
(It's beyond my control)
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
