Tango

(original)
Je roulais des mécaniques
Pendant qu’elle roulait des hanches
Au fond d’un beuglant magique
Elle imposait le silence
A des clients rouge brique
Buvant du champagne rance
Qui l’auraient payé cent briques
Mais elle venait pour la danse
Elle dansait sa vérité
Mais son rêve était si fort
Qu’en plein milieu du troquet
On sentait passer la mort
C'était p’t'être à Singapour
A Rio ou à New-Port
C'était la nuit pas le jour
La lune brillait sur le port
Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Dansait
J'écrivais à l’encre rouge
Quelques mots-clés au fond d’un bouge
Et j’ai trouvé dans un miroir
Le feu sacré du désespoir
Parfois Satan me joue des tours
Cherchant la mort, trouvant l’amour
Sous l'écran noir des cheveux lourds
Un oeil rasant sur du velours
Ses ongles durs dans la lumière
Traçaient des signes et des mystères
Et ses mains souples de panthère
Laissaient des mots pendus en l’air
Qui peut entendre le silence
Craquant de signes de la danse
Connaît à coup sûr la distance
Entre l’Amour et la violence
Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Elle dansait/Dansait/Dansait
Je roulais des mécaniques
Pendant qu’elle roulait des hanches
Au fond d’un beuglant magique
Elle imposait le silence
A des clients rouge brique
Buvant du champagne rance
Qui l’auraient payé cent briques
Mais elle venait pour la danse
(translation)
I was riding mechanics
As she rolled her hips
At the bottom of a magic bellow
She imposed silence
To brick red customers
Drinking rancid champagne
Who would have paid a hundred bricks
But she came for the dance
She was dancing her truth
But her dream was so strong
That in the middle of the troquet
We felt death pass
It was maybe in Singapore
In Rio or New Port
It was night not day
The moon shone over the harbor
She was dancing/She was dancing/She was dancing/She was dancing/She was dancing/Dancing
I was writing in red ink
A few keywords at the bottom of a den
And I found in a mirror
The Sacred Fire of Despair
Sometimes Satan plays tricks on me
Seeking death, finding love
Under the black screen of heavy hair
A grazing eye on velvet
Her hard nails in the light
Traced signs and mysteries
And her supple panther hands
Left words hanging in the air
Who can hear the silence
Cracking signs of the dance
Knows the distance for sure
Between Love and Violence
She was dancing/She was dancing/She was dancing/She was dancing/Dancing/Dancing
I was riding mechanics
As she rolled her hips
At the bottom of a magic bellow
She imposed silence
To brick red customers
Drinking rancid champagne
Who would have paid a hundred bricks
But she came for the dance
