Y paraît qu'y a des mots que t'as envie d'entendre
They say there are words you want to hear
Des mots qu'on dit tout bas, dans des moments plus tendres
Words we whisper softly, in more tender moments
Alors glisse ton oreille-là tout près de ma bouche
So come close and place your ear right by my mouth
Et laisse-toi partir sans même qu'on se touche
And let yourself go without our bodies even touching
Si ce soir, t'as envie d'autre chose
If tonight, you want something more
Ouais, ce soir
Yeah, tonight
Va falloir que tu oses
You're going to have to take the plunge
Lâche-toi
Let go
Lâche-toi
Let go
Ouais, comme ça
Yeah, just like that
Avec moi
With me
Nothing is wrong
La nuit est longue
The night is long
Tous les chemins mènent ici
All roads lead here
Et tout c'qui s'en suit
And everything that follows
Ferme les yeux et raconte tout c'qui t'passe par la tête
Close your eyes and share all that crosses your mind
Tout c'que t'as jamais dit et qu'on fera peut-être
Everything you've ever said and what we might do
Je sens ta main venir, doucement, subreptice
I feel your hand coming, softly, stealthily
Tu arrêtes, tu hésites
You stop, you hesitate
Est-ce par peur ou par vice?
Is it out of fear or out of vice?
Car ce soir, t'as envie d'autre chose
Because tonight, you want something else
Mais ce soir
But tonight
Faudrait peut-être que tu oses
Maybe you should dare
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
Comme ça
Like that
Ouais, avec moi
Yeah, with me
Nothing is wrong
La nuit est longue
The night is long
Tel est pris qui croyait prendre
He who thought he had the upper hand is caught
Par qui sait attendre
By those who know how to wait
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
Retiens-moi
Hold me back
Petit jeu amusant
A little fun game
Retiens-moi
Hold me back
Puisqu'on a tout notre temps
Since we have all our time
Tu m'regardes à travers les glaçons de ton verre
You look at me through the ice in your glass
Tu annonces puis soudain, brusquement, tu diffères
You announce, then suddenly, abruptly, you defer
Tu m'invites, tu m'évites, tu insistes, tu esquives
You invite me, you avoid me, you insist, you dodge
Tu esquisses des délices sur le fil du qui-vive
You outline delights on the edge of alertness
Mais ce soir
But tonight
J'ai envie d'autre chose
I want something else
Oui ce soir
Yes tonight
J'aimerais tant que tu oses
I wish so much you'd dare
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
Ouais, comme ça
Yeah, like that
Avec moi
With me
Nothing is wrong
La nuit sera longue
The night will be long
Telle est prise qui croyait prendre
Such is the fate of those who thought they could catch
Par qui sait attendre
By those who know how to wait
Lâche-toi
Let yourself go
