Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'enfant roi by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je ne sais qu'une chose, tu tiens
I only know one thing, you want to
Ma joie, ma peine, entre tes mains
My joy, my sorrow, in your hands
Tu es le souffle, le lien
You are the breath, the link
Mon enfant roi, mon magicien
My child king, my magician
Rien ne m'appartient
Nothing belongs to me
Mais au sud je reviens
But to the south I come back
Noyé dans le cœur des foules
Drowned in the hearts of the crowds
C'est dans ton fleuve que je m'écoule
It is in your river that I flow
Quand tous les ponts d'or s'écroulent
When all the golden bridges fall apart
C'est de ton air que je me saoule
I'm getting drunk with your looks
Rien ne m'appartient
Nothing belongs to me
Mais au sud je reviens
But to the south I come back
Les territoires inconnus
Unknown territories
Je les parcours, je les inclus
I route them, I include them
Mon pays, mon sang, ma rue
My country, my blood, my street
Sont dans tes yeux, je les ai vus
Are in your eyes, I've seen them
