Ton corps est un tambour
Your body is a drum
Et je jouerai dessus, la nuit est douce
And I'll play on it, the night is sweet
Comme je l'ai attendu
As I waited
Et je m'hérisse quand les plis de ta peau
And I bristle when the folds of your skin
S'endorment sur mon dos
Fall asleep on my back
Ton corps est un tambour
Your body is a drum
Je jouerai doucement pour
I will play softly for
Effacer tous les débordements
Clear all overflows
Qu'il collectionne en forme de cicatrices, ta peau
That he collects in the form of scars, your skin
Je ne veux plus jamais qu'elle soit triste
I never want her to be sad again
Quand vient le soir et ses folies
When evening comes and its madness
Est-ce que tes plaies s'endurcissent?
Are your wounds hardening?
Je passerai la main dessus
I will pass my hand over it
Pour effacer les cicatrices
To erase scars
Quand vient le soir et ses folies
When evening comes and its madness
Est-ce que tes plaies s'endurcissent?
Are your wounds hardening?
Je passerai la main dessus
I will pass my hand over it
Pour effacer les cicatrices
To erase scars
Ton corps est un tambour
Your body is a drum
Je l'entends résonner quand il s'enivre
I hear it resonate when he gets drunk
Et rit juste à côté
And laughs right next to it
Qu'ils entrent en roi dans la chambre où tu dors
Let them enter like kings into the room where you sleep
Qu'ils s'immiscent dans ton lit
Let them get into your bed
Qu'ils pillent tout ton corps
Let them plunder your whole body
Corps tambour
Drum body
Je jouerai d'une main
I will play with one hand
Comme j'aimerais fatiguer le chagrin
How I would like to wear out the sorrow
Que tu t'endormes avec la certitude
That you fall asleep with certainty
Que les empereurs sont morts à coups de solitude
That emperors died of loneliness
Quand vient le soir et ses folies
When evening comes and its madness
Est-ce que tes plaies s'endurcissent?
Are your wounds hardening?
Je passerai la main dessus
I will pass my hand over it
Pour effacer les cicatrices
To erase scars
Quand vient le soir et ses folies
When evening comes and its madness
Est-ce que tes plaies s'endurcissent?
Are your wounds hardening?
Je passerai la main dessus
I will pass my hand over it
Pour effacer les cicatrices
To erase scars
Ton corps est un tambour
Your body is a drum
Et je jouerai dessus, la nuit est douce
And I'll play on it, the night is sweet
Comme je l'ai attendu
As I waited
Et nos amours vengeront toutes ces nuits
And our loves will avenge all these nights
Les nuits qu'on t'a volé
The nights that were stolen from you
Je veux les réparer
I want to fix them
