lyrics

Jusqu’à quand resteras-tu?
Car j’ai peur de demain.
Nos doigts se fondent et s’entrelacent,
Nous n’avons plus qu’une seule main.
J’ai trouvé ma pierre précieuse,
Je l’ai enterrée dans mon jardin.
Elle a poussé la plus belle fleur,
Mais qui l’eût cru, elle grandit sans fin.
Elle a chuchoté dans mon oreille “Mon amour, prends-moi”
Moi et mon trésor, nous avons eu une étincelle,
C’est elle, c’est elle.

It’s always simpler in the dark,
But you can’t see me fall apart.
At the thought of you and her,
Slowly dancing in the dark, in the dark.

You can’t see me in the dark,
Some days I’m thirty and some days I’m twelve.
Half the time I try too hard to turn back time,
But where’s my machine?

You gave yourself to the wolves,
But I don’t,
I don’t wanna be another wolf,
I’ve got softer fur.
