Tes yeux sont comme les pierres
Your eyes are like the stones
D'une rivière
Of a river
Qui ferait se damner le plus grand diamantaire
That would damn the greatest diamond dealer
Au fond de son échoppe dans le port d'Anvers
At the back of his shop in the port of Antwerp
Ce sont des diamants noirs sur ton visage clair
They are black diamonds on your fair face
Romanovna
Romanovna
Pose-les sur moi
Lay them on me
Chaque seconde
Every second
Jusqu'à la fin du monde
Until the end of the world
Tes mains sont comme un calice
Your hands are like a chalice
Comme un ciboire
Like a ciborium
Qui ferait se damner Jésus à son dernier soir
That would make Jesus damn himself on his last night
Où tous les Saints du monde voudraient venir boire
Where all the Saints of the world would want to come drink
Plus blanches et plus fines que le marbre de Carare
Whiter and finer than the marble of Carrara
Romanovna
Romanovna
Pose-les sur moi
Lay them upon me
Chaque seconde
Every second
Jusqu'à la fin du monde
Until the end of the world
Ton corps est un arc-en-ciel
Your body is a rainbow
Éternel
Eternal
Qui ferait se damner David et Raphaël
Who would make David and Raphael damn themselves
Qui le dessineraient au plafond des chapelles
Who would draw him on the chapels' ceiling
C'est pour lui que l'on a inventé les dentelles
It's for him that lace was invented
Romanovna
Romanovna
Pose-le contre moi
Lean him against me
Chaque seconde
Every second
Jusqu'à la fin du monde
Until the end of the world
Jusqu'à la fin du monde
Until the end of the world
