Lyrics of L'adorer - Etienne Daho

L'adorer (original)

Avant que l’infidèle à la beauté assassine
ne me morde la main, ne me couronne d'épines,
désadorer L’adorer.
Avant que ses baisers ne deviennent couteaux,
que ses bouquets de fleurs ne me fassent la peau,
désadorer L’adorer,
mais arborer ce chagrin si haut
que je porte, beau comme un drapeau,
en vainqueur dont on admire le sort,
courageux
qui sait aimer trop fort
car comme les dieux
qu’on adore adorer
j’adorais L’adorer.
J’ai été si vivant, chaque minute, chaque seconde,
mais avant d’abhorrer ses humeurs vagabondes,
désadorer L’adorer.
Avant que l’infidèle à nouveau ne sévisse,
qu’inéluctablement le destin s’accomplisse,
désadorer L’adorer,
mais arborer ce chagrin si haut, que je porte, beau comme un drapeau,
en vainqueur dont on admire le sort,
courageux
qui sait aimer trop fort,
car comme les dieux
qu’on adore adorer,
j’adorais L’adorer.
Désadorer L’adorer…

(translation)

Before the infidel to beauty murders
don't bite my hand, don't crown me with thorns,
disadore adore Him.
Before his kisses become knives,
so that her bouquets of flowers don't kill me,
to disadore adore Him,
but to raise this sorrow so high
that I wear, beautiful as a flag,
as a conqueror whose fate one admires,
brave
who knows how to love too much
because like the gods
that we love to love
I loved to worship Him.
I've been so alive, every minute, every second,
but before abhorring his wandering moods,
disadore adore Him.
Before the infidel rages again,
may fate inevitably be fulfilled,
to disadore adore Him,
but to raise this sorrow so high, that I carry, beautiful as a flag,
as a conqueror whose fate one admires,
brave
who knows how to love too much,
because like the gods
that we love to adore,
I loved to worship Him.
Disadore adore Him...
