My Lady Héroïne Lyrics in English by Serge Gainsbourg
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song My Lady Héroïne by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Oh ma beauté ma divine
Oh my beauty, my divine
Referme sur moi tes ailes
Close your wings on me
Mon bel ange ma toute belle
My beautiful angel, my fairest
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Ma liaison clandestine
My clandestine liaison
En douceur mon sucre candi
Gently, my rock candy
Emmène-moi au paradis
Take me to paradise
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Oh ma beauté ma divine
Oh my beauty, my divine
Toi mon amour platonique
You, my platonic love
Mon bébé ma fille unique
My baby, my only daughter
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Aussi pure que Justine
As pure as Justine
Tous les malheurs de ta vertu
All the misfortunes of your virtue
Et tous ses bonheurs me tuent
And all its joys kill me
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Dans ta beauté je devine
In your beauty, I discern
Quand ton regard me transperce
When your gaze pierces me
Tous les charmes de la Perse
All the charms of Persia
Oh ma lady héroïne
Oh my lady heroine
Mon opium ma cocaïne
My opium, my cocaine
Es-tu venue d'Extrême-Orient
Did you come from the Far East
Ou bien d'un marché persan
Or from a Persian market

candi — candy
Candi is a less common, more poetic way to say "candy" or "crystallized sugar" in French. While bonbon is the everyday word for candy, candi evokes something purer, often referring to rock candy or sugar candy.
In this song, Serge Gainsbourg uses "mon sucre candi" (my sugar candy) as a tender term of endearment for his lover, highlighting her sweetness and purity in a unique and charming way. It's a word that adds a touch of vintage romance to the lyrics.
