Tombent les feuilles
The leaves fall
Aux jours, plus courts
To the days, shorter
Qui retiennent
Who hold back
Mon corps et ma voix
My body and my voice
Je voulais vous dire
I wanted to tell you
Que je vous aime
That I love you
Cocon qui s'éveille
Awakening cocoon
Aux seuls parfums
With perfumes alone
Que j'attends
That I wait
Au fond de mes rêves
Deep in my dreams
Souvent
Often
Quand mes yeux s'éclairent
When my eyes light up
Longtemps
A long time
Sur vos promesses blanches
On your white promises
Sans y voir le piège
Without seeing the trap
Qui danse
Who dances
Dancing
dancing
Papillon éphémère
Ephemeral butterfly
Aux ailes de verre
With wings of glass
Prisonnière du fil de vos secrets
Prisoner of the thread of your secrets
Papillon qui espère
Butterfly that hopes
Juste un peu de lumière
Just a little light
Pour sécher ses couleurs
To dry your colors
Au feu de vos désirs
In the fire of your desires
Si forte est ma fièvre
So high is my fever
De vous, si doux
Of you, so sweet
Mon prince
My prince
J'ai perdu les mots
I lost my words
Je voudrais vous dire
I would like to tell you
Combien je vous aime
How much I love you
Ou je m'imagine
Or I imagine
Parfois
Sometimes
Pauvre chrysalide
Poor chrysalis
Qui boit
Who drinks
Le miel de vos paroles
The honey of your words
Pour s'ouvrir
To open
Et quitter le sol
And leave the ground
Papillon éphémère
Ephemeral butterfly
Aux ailes de verre
With wings of glass
Prisonnière du fil de vos secrets
Prisoner of the thread of your secrets
Papillon qui espère
Butterfly that hopes
Juste un peu de lumière
Just a little light
Pour sécher ses couleurs
To dry your colors
Au feu de vos désirs
In the fire of your desires
