Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Visage De La Nuit by Tim Dup from French to English.

Here

It's the end

After all this time they've talked about it

On a beach

Skinned knees

The ocean lays foam on the white shells

Polished by salt

The sky is pink and silent

And deep down, a white noise

Barely audible

Your vermilion hair forms

Curves and braids nobody understands

Your eyes have the face of the night

I love that you're free

I love your heresies

So I utter the forbidden litanies

I don't care

You, you're my only church

A braid beads off your shoulder like rain in the Tropics

I run my hand over your nape, as naked as the first humans

Under the shaded fold of your right breast

Hidden there

A beauty mark

I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know

We glimpse the green ray

Far off, like a mirage

And the print evaporates

We scarcely believe it

But the ray grows

And comes closer

The sea rages

The waves reach heights

That even magic couldn't guess anymore

We don't kiss, it's too little

We hold tight, in symbiosis

Waltz of atoms that magnetize

Because everything's gonna disappear

I love you

SONG MEANING

Le Visage De La Nuit plunges you into a dream-like end-of-the-world sunset, where scraped knees meet foamy tides, a cotton-candy sky hushes the horizon, and a mysterious “rayon vert” swells on the edge of sight. Tim Dup zooms in on vermilion hair, hidden beauty marks, and the white-noise roar of the sea, painting a scene that is both intensely sensual and eerily calm before the storm.

Beneath the poetic imagery lies a message about embracing the fleeting moment. The lovers refuse a simple kiss and instead merge in a “valse d’atomes,” turning to each other as their only church while the waves rise and the world threatens to disappear. Freedom, irreverence, and raw tenderness fuse into one final declaration: in the face of cosmic uncertainty, the bravest thing we can do is clutch the person we love and whisper “Je t’aime.”
