Plus rien n'enchante le monde
Nothing enchants the world anymore
Insondables sont les flots
Unfathomable are the waves
Et là contemple les ombres
And there behold the shadows
Il lui dit à demi-mot
He tells her in half-words
Qu'Il l'aime et qu'il l'adore
That he loves her and adores her
Qu'il l'aime
That he loves her
Mais le chaos du corps a ses raisons, a ses remords
But the chaos of the body has its reasons, its regrets
Et le ciel est sans nuages
And the sky is cloudless
Et les jours semblent longs
And the days seem long
A perdu son point d'encrage
Has lost its anchor point
Il rentre dans sa maison
He enters his house
Il l'aime et il l'adore
He loves her and adores her
Il l'aime encore
He loves her still
Plus rien n'enchante le monde
Nothing enchants the world anymore
Insondables sont les vents
Unfathomable are the winds
Et là contemple les ombres
And there he contemplates the shadows
Un silence assourdissant
A deafening silence
Il l'aime et il l'adore
He loves her and adores her
Il l'aime
He loves her
Mais le chaos du corps a ses raisons, a ses remords
But the chaos of the body has its reasons, its regrets
Et le ciel est sans nuages
And the sky is without clouds
Et les jours semblent longs
And the days seem long
Perdu le coeur d'une femme
Lost the heart of a woman
Et la mort porte son nom
And death bears its name
Il l'aime, il l'adore
He loves her, he adores her
Il l'aime
He loves her
Il saignera encore jusqu'à sa mort, sa mort, sa mort, sa mort
He will bleed again until his death, his death, his death, his death
