Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A poings fermés by Bénabar from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A qui parle-t-elle lorsqu'elle dort la nuit
Who does she talk to when she sleeps at night
prononce des onomatopées des petits cris
pronounces onomatopoeia of small cries
collée à moi et pourtant si lointaine
stuck to me and yet so distant
elle me manque déjà
I miss her already
je voudrais qu'elle revienne
I would like her to come back
elle a un grain d' beauté qu'a rien d'exceptionn...
she has a beauty mark that is nothing exceptional...
...elle a un grain d' beauté qu' j'aime bien
...she has a mole that I like
peut-être parce que c'est l' sien
maybe because it's his
qui est le chanceux qui discute avec elle
who is the lucky one chatting with her
parle couramment le langage de son sommeil
fluently speaks the language of his sleep
moi je sursaute leur dialogue me réveille
me, I jump their dialogue wakes me up
alors j'écoute aux portes et je tiens la chandelle
So I eavesdrop and I hold the candle
est-ce qu'elle m'oublie complètement ?
is she forgetting me completely?
qui est son nocturne confident ?
who is his nocturnal confidant?
lui dit-elle les secrets
she tells him the secrets
qu'elle ne me confie jamais ?
that she never confides in me?
chut ! faut pas la réveiller
hush! don't wake her up
ses rêves sont pas étanches
his dreams are not watertight
mais elle cache en revanche
but on the other hand she hides
peut-être qu'elle-même l'ignore
maybe she doesn't even know
à qui parle-t-elle lorsqu'elle dort
who does she talk to when she sleeps
à poings fermés.
with closed fists
