| Les ailes collées par ton sang au pavé
| The wings glued by your blood to the pavement
|
| Et le jour qui éclaire ton spectre écrasé

|
| Parfois tu me fais peur, tu me fais voir
| Sometimes you scare me, you make me see
|
| La mort au fond de l’abîme, au milieu de la rue
| Death at the bottom of the abyss, in the middle of the street
|
| Tu ressembles à cette feuille de papier

|
| Lisse comme le ciel, un beau jour d'été
| Smooth as the sky on a bright summer day
|
| Mais un peu de sang colle ta peau au pavé
| But a little blood sticks your skin to the pavement
|
| Et j’ai peur, et j’ai froid, c’est ma mort, c’est ta mort que je vois
| And I'm scared, and I'm cold, it's my death, it's your death that I see
|
| Ils ont écrasé ta tête et ton coeur
| They crushed your head and your heart
|
| Ils t’ont tout volé, pauvre spectre écrasé
| They stole everything from you, poor crushed ghost
|
| J’ai envie de pleurer; | I want to cry; |
| pourtant je ne t’aime pas
| yet I don't love you
|
| The wings stuck on the pavement by your blood
| The wings stuck on the pavement by your blood
|
| And the day which enlightens your crushed spectre
| And the day which enlightens your crushed specter
|
| Sometimes you frighten me, you make me see death
| Sometimes you frighten me, you make me see death
|
| In the depths of the abyss, in the middle of the street
| In the depths of the abyss, in the middle of the street
|
| You look like this paper sheet
| You look like this paper sheet
|
| Smooth like the sky in a beautiful summer day
| Smooth like the sky in a beautiful summer day
|
| But a small amount of your blood is stuck on the pavement
| But a small amount of your blood is stuck on the pavement
|
| And I’m frightened, and I’m cold / It’s my death, it’s your death I behold
| And I'm frightened, and I'm cold / It's my death, it's your death I behold
|
| They crushed your head and your heart
| They crushed your head and your heart
|
| They stole you everything, poor crushed spectre
| They stole you everything, poor crushed specter
|
| I need to cry though I don’t love you | I need to cry though I don't love you |
