Lyrics of Lying with You - Charlotte Gainsbourg

Lying with You (original)

J’ai touché un visage de cire
Qui certainement t’a fait fuir
Tu jambe nue sortait du drap
Sans pudeur et le sang froid
Au coin de la bouche, une trainée
Tu n’aurais pas aimé
J'étais allongée contre toi
J’ai pris ce droit, sans foi
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
Laisse-moi donc imaginer
Que j'étais seule à t’aimer
D’un amour pur de fille chérie
Pauvre pantin transie
Où est parti mon baiser
Quand le coffre s’est fermé
J’entends toujours battre les clous
Toi perdu, moi éperdue
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
Shall we dream happy ever after?
Pretend we do
Playing a game of never after
Lying with you

(translation)

I touched a wax face
Who certainly scared you away
Your bare leg was sticking out of the sheet
Shameless and cold-blooded
At the corner of the mouth, a trail
You wouldn't have liked
I was lying against you
I took that right, without faith
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
celebrating you
So let me imagine
That I was alone to love you
With pure darling girl love
Poor chilled puppet
where did my kiss go
When the trunk closed
I still hear the nails beating
You lost, me lost
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
celebrating you
Shall we dream happy ever after?
Pretend we do
Playing a game of never after
Lying with you
