Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les persiennes by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Où vont les persanes
Where the Persians go
Où vont ces paires d'yeux
Where do these pairs of eyes go?
Ouvrez les persiennes
Open the shutters
La jalousie des dieux
Jealousy of the gods
Ouvrez, on commémore la foudre
Open up, we commemorate lightning
Où vont ces martiens
Where do these Martians go
Où courent ces chiens bleus
Where are these blue dogs running
Siroter la mer
Sipping the sea
Se faire devenir vieux
Getting old
Ouvrez, et déballez ensemble
Open up, and unpack together
Un jour ils s'effilent se délitent en sommeil
One day they fray themselves in sleep
Des caravanes immenses de guerriers
Huge caravans of warriors
Ondoyants qui appellent
Ondoyants who call
Petits vers grouillent grouillent grouillent
Small worms swarm teeming around
Nettoient les flûtes des morts, curent les os
Clean the flutes of the dead, cure the bones
Font place nette, et l'esprit peut flotter
Make way, and the mind can float
Cataleptique élan cyclopéen
Cataleptic cyclopean momentum
Zone inhospitalière
Inhospitable area
S'en sortira demain
Will be fine tomorrow
Qu'il est loin le soleil
That it's away the sun
Reflet dans les piscines aux noyades
Reflection in swimming pools at drownings
Paisibles et sensuelles
Peaceful and sensual
On aurait pu y arriver
We could have made it
Juste dans les, juste dans les, juste dans les
Just in, just in, just in the
Juste dans les
Just in the
