La Mort Des Amants – Lyrics Meaning in English – Carla Bruni

La Mort Des Amants translates to ‘the death of lovers’. The song speaks to the fragility of human connection and the transient beauty found within it. Through the metaphor of beds filled with light odours and deep couches resembling tombs, Bruni captures the paradoxical nature of love — both comforting and haunting.

Singer – Carla Bruni

Nous aurons des lits
Pleins d’odeurs légères
Des divans profonds
Comme des tombeaux

We will have beds
Full of light odours
Deep couches
Like tombs

Et d’étranges fleurs
Sur des étagères
Écloses pour nous
Sous des cieux plus beaux

And strange flowers
On shelves
Blooming for us
Under more beautiful skies

Usant à l’envi
Leurs chaleurs dernières
Nos deux cœurs seront
Deux vastes flambeaux

Using at will
Their final heat
Our two hearts will be
Two vast torches

Qui réfléchiront
Leurs doubles lumières
Dans nos deux esprits
Ces miroirs jumeaux

Which will reflect
Their double lights
In our two minds
These twin mirrors

Un soir fait de rose
Et de bleu mystique
Nous échangerons un éclair unique
Comme un long sanglot

An evening made of pink
And mystical blue
We will exchange a single flash
Like a long sob

Tout chargé d’adieux
Comme un long sanglot
Tout chargé d’adieux

Fully loaded with goodbyes
Like a long sob
Fully loaded with goodbyes
