Elle marche de nuit
She walks at night
Tombe nez-à-nez
Falls face to face
Un mec ralentit
A guy slows down
Tous deux arrêtés
Both arrested
Quelques pas de l'autre
A few steps from each other
Lumière rase leur peau
Light shaves their skin
Ils sont tellement beaux
They are so beautiful
Elle en pantalon, lui en survêtement
She in pants, him in tracksuits
Lui, de longs cheveux blonds
Him, long blond hair
Elle a des cheveux blancs
She has white hair
C'est fou comme ils sont médusés
It's crazy how stunned they are
On dirait qu'ils sont coincés dans ce champ-contrechamp
Looks like they're stuck in this reverse shot
Et ça commence à peser
And it starts to weigh
On aimerait qu'ils s'animent
We would like them to come alive
On se demande ce qu'ils pensent
We wonder what they think
Qui parlera le premier?
Who will speak first?
En second plan il y a la vie
In the background there is life
On devine même la foule
We can even guess the crowd
Et les feux qui clignotent
And the flashing lights
Ils ont comme un petit air sombre
They have a bit of a dark look
Des aventures ils en ont eues
They had adventures
Ils ont compris ce qui se passe
They understood what was happening
On ne revient pas en arrière
We don't go back
On peut pas le voir, mais on devine
We can't see it, but we can guess
Les battements de cœurs qui s'emballent dans ce champ-contrechamp
The heartbeats that race in this shot-reverse shot
Lui est à contre-jour assombri
He is darkened against the light
Elle est surexposée, éblouie
She is overexposed, dazzled
Les passants ne voient rien à la scène
Passers-by see nothing of the scene
Ils auraient juste à lever les yeux
They would just have to look up
Les deux parlent pas, mais se comprennent
The two don't speak, but understand each other
Ils se touchent pas, mais se sentent bien entêtant contretemps
They don't touch each other, but they feel like a heady mishap
Elle grandit de tout son corps sur ses pieds
She grows all over her body on her feet
Lui s'est un peu voûté, regard en bas
He slouched a little, looking down
On dirait qu'ils vont vraiment s'épouser
Looks like they're really going to get married
C'est si beau qu'on donnerait cher pour voir ça
It's so beautiful that we would pay a lot to see it
On ne sort pas entier d'un plan pareil
We don't come out whole from such a plan
On ne fait pas comme si de rien n'était
We don't act as if nothing happened
Dans ce champ-contrechamp ouai
In this reverse shot yeah
Ils se sont mis à danser
They started to dance
