The mirror shatters

In the scarlet jungle

Journey over the ocean

We swim in the void

That engulfs people

Time, lovers

The smoke coming from your skin

Sets fire to the trees and water

Napalm, the shores strewn with gold

The sun scattered on your body

I see you so you'll laugh again

In Brazil, an idyll

And that one day with you on a more peaceful island

In Brazil, an idyll

And that one day with you on a more peaceful island

In Brazil

The cold rises from a humid and ageless atmosphere

The rain arrives and cleanses everything in its path

No need to say it anymore, just need to run

No need to write it anymore, just need to feel

In Brazil, an idyll

And that one day with you on a more peaceful island

In Brazil, an idyll

And that one day with you on a more peaceful island

In Brazil

Come see over there, look at me

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun)

(Portuguese)

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) in Brazil

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) an idyll

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) in Brazil

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) an idyll

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) in Brazil

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun) an idyll

(With you in the summer, with you in the sun)

(Portuguese)

Transatlantique — Transatlantic

Transatlantique literally means "transatlantic," referring to something that crosses the Atlantic Ocean. It's a sophisticated and evocative word that immediately brings to mind long journeys and distant lands.

In the context of the song, it sets a romantic and adventurous tone, hinting at a love story that spans continents and cultures, specifically mentioning Brazil. This word is unique and memorable, perfectly capturing the song's theme of escape and exotic romance.

Therapie TAXI turn a summer romance into a fever dream here. The opening lines pile up wild images: "Le miroir éclate" (The mirror shatters) "dans la jungle écarlate" (in the scarlet jungle), and the singer swims through "le néant" (the void) that swallows people, time and lovers. Then it gets hot, literally. "La fumée qui sort de ta peau / Embrase les arbres et l'eau" (The smoke coming off your skin / sets fire to the trees and the water) is a lot, and that is the point: this crush feels like a natural disaster.

The chorus pulls everything toward one dream, "Au Brésil, une idylle" (In Brazil, a romance), and a day "avec toi sur une île plus paisible" (with you on a more peaceful island). Une idylle is a handy word: in French it means a love affair, usually a short, sweet one. The second verse swaps fire for cold rain that washes everything away, and the singer stops overthinking: "Plus besoin de le dire, juste besoin de courir" (No need to say it anymore, just need to run). The outro slips into Portuguese, "Com você no verão" (With you in the summer), so the song ends up in Brazil for real.
