La Petite Mort (Audio) Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Petite Mort (Audio) by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
Le temps d'un souffle coupé
The time of a stolen breath
Par un soir tardif d'été
On a late summer evening
Les anges partirent avant
The angels left first
Et leurs visages tachés de blanc
And their faces stained with white
Je crois qu'il est trop tard
I think it's too late
Pour t'avouer que j'ai mal
To confess to you I'm hurting
À mon coeur mourant
In my dying heart
Et mes souvenirs tachés de blanc
And my memories stained with white
Si l'on me perd
If I'm lost
Sache que je serai la tienne
Know that I'll be yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
Car si l'on me perd
Because if I'm lost
C'est seulement pour rester la tienne
It's only to stay yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
La pluie coule sur mes tempes
The rain runs down my temples
La foudre chante ta descente
The lightning sings your descent
Blottie contre ma vie
Nestled against my life
Ton rire résonne et puis s'enfuit
Your laugh echoes and then flees
Je crois qu'il est trop tard
I think it's too late
Pour te dire que ça fait mal
To tell you that it hurts
Mon coeur n'est plus comme avant
My heart isn't like before
Car il s'endort tout doucement
Because it's drifting off softly
Si l'on me perd
If I'm lost
Sache que je serai la tienne
Know that I'll be yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
Car si l'on me perd
Because if I'm lost
C'est seulement pour rester la tienne
It's only to stay yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
Si l'on me perd
If I'm lost
Sache que je serai la tienne
Know that I'll be yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
Car si l'on me perd
Because if I'm lost
C'est seulement pour rester la tienne
It's only to stay yours
Et au creux de ses bras
And in the crook of its arms
La mort nous bercera
Death will rock us
