Lyrics of L'automne - Chiens De Paille, RIVKA

L'automne (original)

It whisper in my ears
This time there won’t be a sound
No alarm calling around
No time to run for a safer ground
I woke up this morning
Heart it was shaking
That’s payback that he dreams
What you see is what you get
But not only got cold
And the sun don’t shine in
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
À l’aube de ton souvenir se dressent mes ruines
Ma gorge est pleine d'épines
L’heure est peut-être des pires, tu n’es pas là
Mon corps est pierre, mon cœur un puits
Dehors le soleil brille mais le soleil est gris
Tu n’viendras pas
Tes cheveux au fond d’la baignoire, ton parfum sur mon peignoir
Ton rouge à lèvres sur l’miroir, non je n’rêvais pas
Je garde ton absence à distance, ton absence sous silence
Je cherche mon existence, celle d’avant toi
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
Un jour comme aujourd’hui j’ai brûlé
Du feu de tes yeux sacrés
L’or de ta peau nacrée avait ma lumière
Depuis ma voix cherche le vent pour trouver ton oreille
Et te dire c’que le printemps dit aux fleurs et aux abeilles
Je m’bats contre le temps qui l’une après l’autre raye
Les images de ton visage dépeuplant mon sommeil
Ton absence tient la distance, perfide est la vipère
Elle grimpe sur mes vieilles plaies comme le lierre sur la vieille pierre
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
C’est l’automne des hirondelles, elles observent le ciel
Trouvent l’endroit bien étroit, disent qu’il étreint leurs ailes
Elles qui dormaient sur ton âme, déboussolées se perdent
Si elles volent vers l’horizon, c’est bien qu’elles t’y espèrent
V’là un peu d’la solitude d’où tu es partie
Celle où je traîne ma vie
Celle où je crève chaque nuit
Je vais me rendre à ton absence, caché le mur derrière
Profite de ma souffrance, sois sûre qu’c’est la dernière
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it’s stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(toi t’appelles ça l’automne, moi j’appelle ça l’absence)

(translation)

It whisper in my ears
This time there won't be a sound
No alarm calling around
No time to run for a safer ground
I woke up this morning
Heart it was shaking
That's payback that he dreams
What you see is what you get
But not only got cold
And the sun don't shine in
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
At the dawn of your memory stand my ruins
My throat is full of thorns
The hour may be the worst, you're not here
My body is stone, my heart a well
Outside the sun is shining but the sun is gray
You won't come
Your hair in the bottom of the bathtub, your perfume on my bathrobe
Your lipstick on the mirror, no I wasn't dreaming
I keep your absence at bay, your absence in silence
I seek my existence, the one before you
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
On a day like today I burned
From the fire of your sacred eyes
The gold of your pearly skin had my light
Since my voice searches the wind to find your ear
And tell you what spring says to flowers and bees
I fight against time which one after another scratches
The images of your face depopulating my sleep
Your absence goes the distance, treacherous is the viper
She climbs over my old wounds like ivy on old stone
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
It's the fall of the swallows, they watch the sky
Find the place tight, say it hugs their wings
They who slept on your soul, confused get lost
If they fly towards the horizon, it's good that they hope for you there
Here's a bit of the loneliness where you left
The one where I drag my life
The one where I die every night
I will surrender to your absence, hide the wall behind
Take advantage of my suffering, be sure it's the last
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul and I can sense oh babe
Oh babe
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
I feel it in my songs
Everything in me is telling me it's stormy
Oh no
I feel it in my soul things are about to change
To change
(you call that autumn, I call that absence)
