D'accord, c'est mort je pue la défaite
Okay, it's dead I stink of defeat
Mon corps clapote au gré des flux
My body sloshes with the flow
Et des reflux à qui la faute? À marée haute
And whose fault is reflux? At high tide
Cornouailles si proches
Cornwall so close
Les brumes d'Angleterre
The mists of England
Un phare clignote, sanglote sa mélancolie
A lighthouse flashes, sobs its melancholy
Je bois la tasse à marée basse
I drink the cup at low tide
Par quelle mort si héroïque
By what heroic death
Pourrais-je me racheter?
Could I redeem myself?
J'entends ton rire cynique sur
I hear your cynical laughter on
La plage des noyés si tu ne m'aimes plus
The drowned beach if you don't love me anymore
Je ne m'aime plus non plus
I don't love myself anymore either
Plage du mort, je pue la défaite
Dead man's beach, I stink of defeat
Odeur de vase, des algues et petite pluie
Smell of mud, algae and light rain
Embruns me giflent, la roue brisée
Spray slaps me, the broken wheel
Je serai là où tes sarcasmes
I will be there where your sarcasm
Ne me toucheront plus
Won't touch me anymore
Je serai là sur la plage des pendus
I'll be there on hangman's beach
Si tu ne m'aimes plus
If you don't love me anymore
Je ne m'aime plus non plus
I don't love myself anymore either
Je ne m'aime plus non plus
I don't love myself anymore either
Je ne m'aime plus non plus
I don't love myself anymore either
