Stay as Sweet as You Are

(original)
O Ève, Ève, mon petit
Te souviens-tu du paradis?
Un Dieu nous y gavait d’oranges et de cerises
Mais une pomme un jour provoqua son courroux
Et nous voilà dehors, sans même une valise
Sous l’orage et l'éclair, marchant droit devant nous
O Ève, Ève, mon petit
Te souviens-tu du paradis?
On cherchait un abri sous l’orage qui cogne
Le ciel pleuvait des larmes, tu pleurais de la pluie
Pas l’ombre d’un palais, pas même un hôtel borgne
Allons donc chez le diable !
Il n'était pas chez lui
O Ève, Ève, mon petit
Te souviens-tu du paradis?
Des siècles ont passé et nous voici ce soir
Dans cette chambre obscure, sous un toit de Paris
Avec le paradis au fond de la mémoire
Et des disques de jazz, au pied de notre lit
O Ève, Ève, mon petit
Te souviens-tu du paradis?
Allons, viens près de moi, sans craindre de discorde
Le pommier de ton corps ne m’est plus interdit
Et si Dieu, de nouveau, défendait que j’y morde
Laisse-moi le chasser de notre paradis…
(translation)
O Eve, Eve, my little one
Do you remember paradise?
A God stuffed us with oranges and cherries
But an apple once provoked his wrath
And here we are outside, without even a suitcase
Under the storm and the lightning, walking straight ahead
O Eve, Eve, my little one
Do you remember paradise?
We were looking for shelter under the pounding storm
The sky was raining tears, you were crying rain
Not the shadow of a palace, not even a one-eyed hotel
Let's go to the devil!
He was not at home
O Eve, Eve, my little one
Do you remember paradise?
Centuries have passed and here we are tonight
In this dark room, under a roof of Paris
With heaven deep in memory
And jazz records, at the foot of our bed
O Eve, Eve, my little one
Do you remember paradise?
Come, come near me, without fear of discord
The apple tree of your body is no longer forbidden to me
What if God once again forbade me to bite
Let me drive him out of our paradise...
