Elvis Costello feat. Burt Bacharach - My Thief - translation of the lyrics into French

My Thief - Elvis Costello , Burt Bacharach translation in French




My Thief
Mon Voleur
When I go to sleep, you become my thief
Quand je m'endors, tu deviens mon voleur
Why don't you steal what you can keep?
Pourquoi ne voles-tu pas ce que tu peux garder ?
But you won't let me be, you break into my dreams
Mais tu ne me laisses pas tranquille, tu t'introduis dans mes rêves
And every day seems different
Et chaque jour semble différent
Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again
Parfois je fais semblant que tu reviendras
And you'll console the heart you stole
Et que tu consoleras le cœur que tu as volé
Have pity on the man who knows that you have gone
Aie pitié de l'homme qui sait que tu es partie
And has begun to break down
Et qui a commencé à s'effondrer
I feel almost possessed
Je me sens presque possédé
So long as I don't lose this glorious distress, then
Tant que je ne perds pas cette glorieuse détresse, alors
You can take all I have left
Tu peux prendre tout ce qu'il me reste
I know it's over
Je sais que c'est fini
If you can't be my lover
Si tu ne peux pas être mon amante
Be my thief
Sois ma voleuse
I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door
Je suis si somnolent maintenant, je vais déverrouiller la porte
What fades in time will hurt much more
Ce qui s'estompe avec le temps fera encore plus mal
So, here's that happy scene where you come back to me
Alors, voici cette scène heureuse tu reviens vers moi
It's only found in fiction
On ne la trouve que dans la fiction
I feel almost possessed
Je me sens presque possédé
So long as I don't lose this glorious distress, then
Tant que je ne perds pas cette glorieuse détresse, alors
You can take all I have left
Tu peux prendre tout ce qu'il me reste
I know it's over
Je sais que c'est fini
If you can't be my lover
Si tu ne peux pas être mon amante
Be my thief
Sois ma voleuse
I didn't lead you on, but there will always be
Je ne t'ai pas encouragée, mais il y aura toujours
A little larceny in everyone
Un peu de larcin en chacun
So hush and don't you cry, I'm trying to be kind
Alors tais-toi et ne pleure pas, j'essaie d'être gentil
Because I have a perfect alibi
Parce que j'ai un alibi parfait
