Je laisserai le lit comme elle l'a laissé
I'll leave the bed as she left it
Défait et rompu, les draps emmêlés
Undone and broken, sheets tangled
Afin que l'empreinte de son corps
So that the imprint of his body
Reste gravée dans le décor
Remains engraved in the décor
Je resterai là, immobile
I'll stay there motionless
Les bras croisés, presque tranquille
Arms folded, almost quiet
Je laisserai la chambre comme elle l'a laissée
I will leave the room as she left it
L'odeur de Camels, Gauloises mêlée
The smell of Camels, Gauloises mixed
Afin que la lumière retienne
So that the light holds back
Son ombre nue dans les persiennes
His bare shadow in the shutters
Au bout du quai tombe le jour
At the end of the dock falls during the day
Je reste là sentant l'amour
I stay there feeling love
Dans ce port de fêlés juste à l'envers du monde
In this port of cracked people just upside down from the world
Où d'énormes soleils me renvoyaient mes ondes
Where huge suns reflected my waves back to me
Où les normes basculent au fond des volcans sourds
Where norms tip to the bottom of deaf volcanoes
Où je traînais mes bottes gaspillant ton amour
Where I dragged my boots wasting your love
Attention fragile
Fragile attention
Attention fragile
Fragile attention
Je laisserai ma peau comme elle l'a laissée
I will leave my skin as it left it
Sueur et cannelle, orange poivrée
Sweat and cinnamon, peppery orange
Afin que ma mémoire revienne
So that my memory may come back
Me dessiner cette eurasienne
Drawing me this Eurasian
Cette criola de secours
This rescue criola
Quand je titube au petit jour
When I stagger at dawn
Je prendrai ma vie comme elle l'a laissée
I will take my life as she left it
Avec un sourire en coin, un secret
With a smile in the corner, a secret
Afin d'accepter la tendresse
In order to accept tenderness
Que j'avais refusée sans cesse
That I had refused again and again
Avec l'impression d'être fort
With the impression of being strong
Le sommeil, c'est presque la mort
Sleep is almost death
Dans ce port de fêlés juste à l'envers du monde
In this port of cracked people just upside down from the world
Où d'énormes soleils me renvoyaient mes ondes
Where huge suns reflected my waves back to me
Où les normes basculent au fond des volcans sourds
Where norms tip to the bottom of deaf volcanoes
Où je traînais mes bottes gaspillant ton amour
Where I dragged my boots wasting your love
Attention fragile
Fragile attention
Attention fragile
Fragile attention
