M'extraire du cadre
Extracting myself from the frame
Ma vie suspendue
My life on hold
Je rêvais mieux
I dreamed of better
Je voyais l'âtre
I saw the hearth
Tous ces inconnus
All these strangers
Toi parmi eux
You among them
Toile
Canvas
Fibre qui suinte
Fiber that oozes
Des meurtrissures
Of bruises
Tu voyais l'âme
You saw the soul
Mais j'ai vu ta main
But I saw your hand
Choisir Gauguin
Choosing Gauguin
Et je te rends ton amour
And I give you back your love
Redeviens les contours
Become the outlines again
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
C'est mon dernier recours
It's my last resort
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
Au moins pour toujours
At least for forever
Redeviens les contours
Become the outlines again
La femme nue debout
The naked woman standing
M'extraire du cadre
To break free from the frame
La vie étriquée
The constricted life
D'une écorchée
Of a flayed soul
J'ai cru la fable
I believed the tale
D'un mortel aimé
Of a beloved mortal
Tu m'as trompée
You deceived me
Toi
You
Tu m'as laissée
You left me
Me compromettre
To compromise myself
Je serai l'unique
I will be the one and only
Pour des milliers d'yeux
For thousands of eyes
Un nu de maître
A master's cloud
Et je te rends ton amour
And I return your love to you
Au moins pour toujours
At least for forever
Je te rends ton amour
I return your love to you
Le mien est trop lourd
Mine is too heavy
Et je te rends ton amour
And I return your love to you
C'est plus flagrant le jour
It's more obvious by day
Ses couleurs se sont diluées
Its colors have faded
Et je reprends mon amour
And I take back my love
Redeviens le contour
Become the outline again
De mon seul maître, Egon Schiele
Of my only master, Egon Schiele
Et je te rends ton amour
And I give you back your love
Au moins pour toujours
At least for forever
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
Le mien est trop lourd
Mine is too heavy
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
C'est plus flagrant le jour
It's more obvious during the day
Ses couleurs se sont diluées
Its colors have faded
Et je reprends mon amour
And I reclaim my love
Redeviens les contours
Reclaim the outlines
De mon seul maître Egon Schiele
Of my one and only master Egon Schiele
Et je te rends ton amour
And I give you back your love
Au moins pour toujours
At least for forever
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
Le mien est trop lourd
Mine is too heavy
Je te rends ton amour
I give you back your love
C'est plus flagrant le jour
It's more evident by day
Ses couleurs se sont diluées
Its colors have faded
Et je reprends mon amour
And I take back my love
Redeviens les contours
Become the outlines again
De mon seul maître Egon Schiele
Of my only master Egon Schiele
