Tatoue-Moi Lyrics in English Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tatoue-Moi by Mozart L'Opéra Rock from French to English.
Divine
Naive, libertine
Tonight I'm coming
To invite myself into your bed
Let's let
The husbands sleep
Let's go make love
Right under the noses of decent folks
I'll learn your tongue and your accent
To understand you
I'll be frivolous and decadent
To surprise you
Tattoo me on your breasts
Do it with the tip of my lips
I'll kiss your hands
I'll make sure you like it
You like it
Tattoo me on your walls
A future to compose
I wanna engrave all my lusts
On your gilding
Let's go out
Arm in arm
And let's not fear
Their vile arrogance
But what impropriety
Come on
To the bourgeois
Guzzle their wine
Tease their conscience
You'll pay for this offense
What do I care about laughs and looks
At my flaws
They're my wealth, my banner
They're my land
Tattoo me on your breasts
Do it with the tip of my lips
My lips
I'll kiss your hands
I'll make sure you like it
You like it
Tattoo me on your walls
A future to compose
I wanna engrave all my lusts
On your gilding
To tattoo you without measure
Without measure
Let yourself fall into my arms
Slide me under your sheets
Let's drift to excess
Let's sing for the respectable
The delights of indecency
Tattoo me on your breasts
Do it with the tip of my lips
My lips
I'll kiss your hands
I'll make sure you like it
You like it
Tattoo me on your walls
A future to compose
I wanna engrave all my lusts
On your gilding

SONG MEANING

Tatoue-Moi: a daring hymn to forbidden love

Forbidden romance has rarely sounded this playful and provocative. In Tatoue-Moi, the flamboyant narrator sweeps into the night determined to ink his passion onto every inch of his lover’s world. Declaring himself divine, candide, libertine, he slips past sleeping husbands and parades “au nez des braves gens,” ready to shock polite society. Sensual images cascade one after another⁠—tracing tattoos with his lips, kissing hands, sliding beneath sheets, and engraving desires onto gilded walls. The tattoo becomes their secret seal of permanence, a pledge that their accents, appetites, and freedom will outlast gossip and raised eyebrows.

Beneath the heat of seduction beats a cheeky spirit of rebellion. The singer toasts the bourgeois only to mock them, proudly wearing his own “travers” as a banner, and urging his partner to walk arm in arm without fear. Desire here is not merely physical; it is revolutionary, a joyous refusal to bow to convention. By the final chorus, bodies have become canvases, walls turn into diaries, and love reveals itself as a rebellious work of art that vows never to fade.
