Mea Culpa (original)Mea Culpa (translation)
J’ai péché par orgueil I sinned by pride
De t’avoir tout à moi To have you all mine
Dans un simple clin d'œil. In just the blink of an eye.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
J’ai péché par envie I sinned by envy
De me donner à toi To give myself to you
En te donnant ma vie. By giving you my life.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
Et puis par gourmandise, And then out of gluttony,
Illuminée par l'éclat de tes yeux, Illuminated by the shine of your eyes,
J’ai vu ta bouche et je me sentais grise I saw your mouth and I felt gray
… et je buvais du feu ! ...and I was drinking fire!
J’ai péché par paresse I sinned out of laziness
Quand j’ai connu tes bras, When I knew your arms,
Berceau de mes caresses. Cradle of my caresses.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
Que ceux qui n’ont jamais péché Than those who have never sinned
Me jettent la première pierre. Throw the first stone at me.
Que ceux qui n’ont jamais aimé Than those who have never loved
Me refusent une prière. Deny me a prayer.
J’ai péché par colère I have sinned by anger
Contre toi, contre moi, Against you, against me,
Contre toute la terre. Against all the earth.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
J’ai péché par luxure, I have sinned for lust,
Chaque soir, dans tes bras, Every night, in your arms,
Mais mon âme était pure. But my soul was pure.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
Et puis par avarice, And then out of greed,
Je t’ai caché dans le fond de mon cœur I hid you deep in my heart
Pour mieux t’y adorer avec délice To better adore you there with delight
A l’abri des voleurs. Safe from thieves.
Ainsi donc, tu le vois, So then, you see,
J’ai péché les sept fois I have sinned seven times
Rien qu'à cause de toi. Just because of you.
Mea culpa ! Mea culpa!
Mais un jour, But someday,
Si tu me le demandais, If you asked me,
Oh !Oh !
mon amour ! my love !
… Je recommencerais. … I would do it again.
Mea culpa !Mea culpa!
Mea culpa !Mea culpa!
