Quand Salomé dort, elle est protégée par la lemanja
When Salome sleeps, she is protected by the lemanja
Quand Salomé rêve, on dirait qu'elle entend des bossas-novas
When Salomé dreams, it seems that she hears bossas-novas
Ses yeux de sable noyés de terre de sienne et de berceuse vénitiennes
Her sandy eyes drowned in sienna and Venetian lullabies
Ses yeux de sable volcanique, ses yeux de fado nostalgique
Her eyes of volcanic sand, her eyes of nostalgic fado
Quand Salomé chante, elle a l'aisance d'une Habanera
When Salomé sings, she has the ease of a Habanera
Quand Salomé pense, on dirait qu'elle ne reviendra pas
When Salome thinks, it looks like she won't come back
Du pays où courent les gazelles, les animaux de l'autre bord
From the country where the gazelles run, the animals on the other side
Ses yeux de nuit - mais que voit-elle ?
Her eyes at night - but what does she see?
Ses yeux de nuit - mais d'où vient-elle ?
Her night eyes - but where does she come from?
D'où vient-elle ? D'où vient-elle ?
Where is she from ? Where is she from ?
Quand Salomé sort, je ne demande jamais où elle va
When Salome goes out, I never ask where she's going
Quand Salomé rendre, elle dit que je n'existe pas
When Salome surrender, she says I don't exist
Des guerriers la suivent en silence, des hommes venus de l'autre bord
Warriors follow her in silence, men from the other side
Grands, immobiles et à distance, grand et débuts jusqu'à la mort
Tall, still and aloof, tall and beginnings till death
D'où vient-elle ? D'où vient-elle ?
Where is she from ? Where is she from ?
Salomé danse - Salomé danse
Salome dance - Salome dance
Salomé - Salomé - Salomé - Salomé danse
Salome - Salome - Salome - Salome dance
D'où vient-elle ? D'où vient-elle ?
Where is she from ? Where is she from ?
