Lyrics and translation Charlotte Gainsbourg - Lying With You

Lying With You

J'ai touché un visage de cire
Qui certainement t'a fait fuir
Ta jambe nue sortait du drap
Sans pudeur et le sang froid
Au coin de ta bouche, une trainée
Tu n'aurais pas aimé
J'étais allongée contre toi
J'ai pris ce droit, sans foi
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
Laisse-moi donc imaginer
Que j'étais seule à t'aimer
D'un amour pur de fille chérie
Pauvre pantin transi
Où est parti mon baiser
Quand le coffre s'est fermé
J'entends toujours battre les clous
Toi perdu, moi éperdue
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
Shall we dream happy ever after?
Pretend we do
Playing a game of never after
Lying with you

Lying With You

I touched a waxen face
That certainly made you run away
Your bare leg was sticking out from the sheet
Without shame and in cold blood
At the corner of your mouth, a trail
You wouldn't have liked it
I was lying against you
I took this right without faith
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
So let me imagine
That I was the only one who loved you
With the pure love of a cherished daughter
Poor frozen puppet
Where did my kiss go
When the chest closed
I still hear the nails being pounded
You lost, me distraught
My feet are hovering above ground
Ready to follow
My mouth is whispering in raptures
Celebrating you
Shall we dream of happily ever after?
Let's pretend we do
Playing a game of never after
Lying with you
