Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Des faux-semblants
Pretenses
Infante défunte
Deceased infant
Se pavanant
Strutting
Cartes en quinte
Straight cards
S'édifiant
Edifying oneself
Le palais d'un prince
A prince's palace
Catalan

Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Seul un can-
Only one can
Délabre scint-
Shiny decay
Ille au vent
Island in the wind
Où l'on emprunte
Where we borrow
Des sentiments
Feelings
Le labyrinthe
The labyrinth
Obsédant
Haunting
Et comme si de rien n'était
And as if nothing had happened
On joue à l'émotion
We play with emotion
Entre un automne et un été
Between autumn and summer
Mensonge par omission
Lie by omission
Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Des faux-semblants
Pretenses
Infante défunte
Deceased infant
Se pavanant
Strutting
Etrange crainte
Strange fear
En écoutant
By listening
Les douces plaintes
The sweet complaints
Du vent
Wind
Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Au présent
In the present
Et l'on s'éreinte
And we get exhausted
Hors du temps
Out of time
Et pourtant maintes
And yet many times
Fois l'on tend
Times we tend
A se mainte-
To maintain
Nir longtemps
Nire for a long time
Le temps ne peut-il s'arrêter
Can't time stop
Au feu de nos passions
In the fire of our passions
Il les consume sans pitié
He consumes them mercilessly
Et c'est sans rémission
And it's without remission
Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Des faux-semblants
Pretenses
Infante défunte
Deceased infant
Se pavanant
Strutting
Couleur absinthe
Absinthe color
Odeur du temps
smell of time
Jamais ne serai
Never will be
Comme avant
Like before
Amours des feintes
Loves of feints
Au loin j'entends
In the distance I hear
Là-bas qui tinte
There that tinkles
Le temps
Time
De ces empreintes
Of these prints
De nos vingt ans
Of our twenty years
Ne restent que les teintes
Only the shades remain
D'antan
From yesteryear
Qui peut être et avoir été
Who can be and have been
Je pose la question
I ask the question
Peut-être étais-je destinée
Maybe I was destined
A rêver d'évasion
To dream of escape
