Translation of the song lyrics L'ange Dechu - Jacques Brel

L'ange Dechu (original)

Spoken:
Tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour du matin frais comme la rose
Amour qu’on etreint en etreignant le jour
Tu etais si jolie les lèvres mi-closes
Me penchant vers toi je t’ai dit toujours
Mais tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour de midi brûlant de clarté
Amour que l’on vole au vol de la vie
Le vent qui jalousait le chant de nos baisers
Nous disait d'être sages et nous en avons ri
Mais tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les mensonges des anges dechus
Amour de la nuit brasier sans lumiere
Amour qui espere l’espoir qu’on attend
Tu avais dans les yeux un bouquet de prières
Je t’ai dit demain j’ai pensé je mens
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
Portent les amours de mon cœur déçu
Car tous les chemins qui menent à Rome
N’ont pu faire de moi qu’un ange déchu

L'ange Dechu (translation)

Spoken:
All the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my disappointed heart
Because all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of fallen angels
Morning love fresh like a rose
Love that we hug by hugging the day
You were so pretty with half-closed lips
Leaning towards you I always told you
But all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my disappointed heart
Because all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of fallen angels
Midday love burning with clarity
Love that is stolen in the flight of life
The wind that was jealous of the song of our kisses
Told us to be good and we laughed it off
But all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my disappointed heart
Because all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the lies of fallen angels
Love of the night blaze without light
Love that hopes for the hope that is awaited
You had a bouquet of prayers in your eyes
I told you tomorrow I thought I'm lying
Because all the roads that lead to Rome
Carry the loves of my disappointed heart
Because all the roads that lead to Rome
Could only make me a fallen angel
