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