These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Il était un homme-oiseau qui cueillit le monde rond
He was a birdman who picked the world round
L'ouvrit de ses doigts pipeaux, l'enfouit dans son œil citron
Opened it with his pipe fingers, buried it in his lemon eye
Puis déshabilla les dieux, les fit danser dans les bois
Then stripped the gods naked, made them dance in the woods
Les croqua de ses dents bleues, les enivra de hautbois
Crunched them with his blue teeth, made them drunk with oboes
Picasso colombe au laurier fit Guernica la mort aux cornes
Picasso dove with laurel made Guernica death with horns
Pour que, dans un monde sans bornes, la nuit ne vienne plus jamais
So that, in a world without limits, night never comes again
La nuit ne vienne plus jamais
The night never comes again
Il était un homme-fruit qui roula dans l'herbe crue
He was a fruit man who rolled in the raw grass
Sur une femme pétrie par un dieu Pan au poil dru
On a woman kneaded by a thick-haired Pan god
Femme il fendit ton chignon, d'un coup de soleil tranchant
Woman he split your bun, with a sharp sunburn
Le fendit comme un oignon dans la cuisine des champs
Split it like an onion in the country kitchen
Picasso colombe au laurier fit Guernica la mort aux cornes
Picasso dove with laurel made Guernica death with horns
Pour que dans un monde sans bornes, la nuit ne vienne plus jamais
So that in a world without limits, night never comes again
La nuit ne vienne plus jamais
The night never comes again
Il était un homme enfin, prit le fruit et le croqua
He was a man at last, took the fruit and bit into it
Prit l'oiseau le fit humain, coloriant aux éclats
Took the bird made it human, coloring brightly
But le temps et s'enivra, but le vin qui devint pur
Drank the time and got drunk, drank the wine which became pure
Prit la cage et la brisa sur la porte du futur
Took the cage and smashed it on the door of the future
Picasso colombe au laurier fit Guernica la mort aux cornes
Picasso dove with laurel made Guernica death with horns
Pour que dans un monde sans bornes, la nuit ne vienne plus jamais
So that in a world without limits, night never comes again
La nuit ne vienne plus jamais, la nuit ne vienne plus jamais
The night never comes again, the night never comes again
