Ça t'arrive sans crier gare
It happens to you without warning
Au milieu d'une heure incolore
In the middle of a colorless hour
Un geste, une odeur, un regard
A gesture, a smell, a look
Qui comme déchire ton décor
Who like tears up your decor
Tout à coup, ce cœur qui t'avait presque oublié
Suddenly, this heart that had almost forgotten you
Se pointe à ta porte et se remet à cogner
Shows up at your door and starts knocking again
Attention, le ballet va commencer
Watch out, the ballet is about to begin
Tu comprends pas trop ce qui t'arrive
You don't really understand what's happening to you
Tu crois d'abord à une erreur
You first think it's a mistake
Tu l'évites et lui te devine
You avoid him and he guesses you
Entre le désir et la peur
Between desire and fear
Tu t'entends lui dire des phrases sans aucun sens
You hear yourself saying nonsense sentences to him
Qu'importe, les mots n'ont plus la moindre d'importance
No matter, words no longer have the slightest importance
Car le ballet a commencé
Because the ballet has begun
Il met ses plus beaux atours et du miel sur sa voix
He puts on his best clothes and honey on his voice
Toi, tu te fais velours et tes bijoux brillent sur toi
You, you make yourself velvet and your jewels shine on you
Il te dit poèmes et rêves et lointains voyages
He tells you poems and dreams and distant journeys
Tu réponds Florence, peinture, impeccables images
You answer Florence, painting, impeccable images
Dames et cavaliers, avancez
Ladies and gentlemen, move forward
Un coup d'œil à son dos, ses hanches, quand s'efface le galantin
A glance at his back, his hips, when the gallantine fades
Un regard quand elle se penche et laisse deviner un sein
A look when she bends over and reveals a breast
Elle sait déjà ses mains, les contours de sa bouche
She already knows her hands, the contours of her mouth
Le cambré de ses reins, qu'elle a noté en douce
The arch of her back, which she surreptitiously noted
Car le ballet va s'animer
Because the ballet will come alive
Il a su les codes et donne les bons mots de passe
He knew the codes and gave the right passwords
Encore un peu d'alcool et que tombent les cuirasses
A little more alcohol and the armor falls off
Livrées, les clés des corps, enfin les peaux s'embrassent
Delivered, the keys of the bodies, finally the skins kiss
Et le temps s'arrête tant que dure la grâce
And time stops as long as grace lasts
Car le ballet est bientôt terminé
Because the ballet is almost over
Et la vraie vie a commencé
And real life began
oui, la vraie vie
yes, real life
