Talons aiguilles telle une fille
Stiletto heels like a girl
Perdue sur l'asphalte
Lost on the asphalt
Frêle légère comme éphémère
Frail light as ephemeral
Je frôle l'asphalte
I brush against the asphalt
Quoi qu'il arrive, je suis la vive
Whatever happens, I'm the long one
Au bord de l'asphalte
At the edge of the asphalt
D'un sourire vague je suis la vague
With a vague smile I follow the wave
Que coule l'asphalte
Let the asphalt flow
Et je balance mon innocence
And I throw away my innocence
Le long de l'asphalte
Along the asphalt
J'avance et rêve, foulant sans trêve
I move forward and dream, treading without rest
Le bitume et l'asphalte
Bitumen and asphalt
Dans ma névrose je vois des roses
In my neurosis I see roses
S'ouvrirent sur l'asphalte
Opened onto the asphalt
Ainsi, je penche sur des pervenches
So I lean towards periwinkles
Sorties de l'asphalte
Asphalt exits
Et puis le rêve soudain s'achève
And then the dream suddenly ends
Odeur de l'asphalte
Asphalt smell
Talons aiguilles telle une fille
Stiletto heels like a girl
Perdue sur l'asphalte
Lost on the asphalt
Frêle légère comme éphémère
Frail light as ephemeral
Je frôle l'asphalte
I brush against the asphalt
Traînée de poudre, de rires qui sourdent
Wildfire, bursting laughter
Sur l'asphalte
On the asphalt
Suis au délice quand sur moi glisse
Am delighted when on me slide
Des regards asphaltes
Asphalt looks
Que de fantasmes et que d'orgasmes
So many fantasies and so many orgasms
Jaillis de l'asphalte
Spout from the asphalt
Que de détresses dans ces ivresses
What distress in these intoxications
Venues de l'asphalte
Coming from the asphalt
