La Mort Des Amants Lyrics in English Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni, the Turin-born singer who loves turning classic poetry into music, breathes new life into Baudelaire’s haunting verses. The song paints a luxurious yet eerie scene: beds scented with delicate perfumes, couches as deep as tombs, and strange flowers blooming on shelves beneath a more beautiful sky. It feels like stepping into a dream where romance and mortality share the same velvet sofa.

Inside this twilight world, two lovers burn brighter than the candles around them. Their hearts become vast torches, reflecting each other in twin-mirror minds until a mystical rose-and-blue evening arrives. At that moment they exchange one blinding spark of emotion, a long sob laden with farewells, hinting that their truest union will unfold only beyond life itself. The mood is bittersweet yet luminous, suggesting that love can be so powerful it turns the very idea of death into a final, tender embrace.
