Plus envie de faire dans la dentelle
Mon papillon de nuit aime se brûler les ailes
Cet amour liquide qui le rend libre
Par manque de veine me le rend vide

No longer want to make lace
My moth likes to burn its wings
This liquid love which makes it free
For lack of vein makes it empty for me

J’ai vu son parcours du combattant
Sourire dehors mais des noeuds en dedans

I saw his obstacle course
Smile on the outside but knots on the inside

Il est perdu mais il est doux
Y’a du coeur dans ses grands yeux fous
Il est perdu mais il est doux
Veut dire “Je t’aime” bras en croix à genoux, à genoux

He’s lost but he’s sweet
There’s a heart in his big crazy eyes
He’s lost but he’s sweet
Wants to say “I love you” arms crossed on his knees, on his knees

Juste envie de faire un peu la planche
Oreilles dans l’eau au sortir d’une nuit blanche
Sommeil douloureux et accalmies brèves
Au fond il a mal mais il rêve

Just want to do a little plank
Ears in the water after a sleepless night
Painful sleep and brief lulls
Deep down he’s in pain but he’s dreaming

J’ai su ses conneries du quotidien
Un peu de sang mais le rouge lui va bien

I knew his everyday bullshit
A little blood but red suits him well

Il est perdu mais il est doux
Y’a du coeur dans ses grands yeux fous
Il est perdu mais il est doux
Veut dire “Je t’aime” bras en croix à genoux, à genoux

He’s lost but he’s sweet
There’s a heart in his big crazy eyes
He’s lost but he’s sweet
Wants to say “I love you” arms crossed on his knees, on his knees

Mon amour, mon amour
Mon amour, mon amour

My love, my love
My love, my love

Tu es perdu mais tu es doux
Y’a du coeur dans tes grands yeux fous
Tu es perdu mais tu es doux
J’veux ton “Je t’aime” bras en croix, à genoux, à genoux

You are lost but you are sweet
There is heart in your big crazy eyes
You are lost but you are sweet
I want your “I love you” arms crossed, on your knees, on your knees
