Lyrics and translation Nerina Pallot - Rousseau (EP Version)
A
state
of
grace,
untouched,
untraced

de
grâce,
intact,
non
tracé
A
ritual
of
passage.

de
la
Terre,
Unbound
at
birth,
you
came
a
noble
savage.
Délié
à

down
to
the

like
blood
Pluie
fraîche,
comme
du

comme
du
sang
Upon
a
stark
and
asperjungle
Sur
une
jungle
stérile
et
aspergée
You
sense
these
things,
Tu
sens
ces
choses,
Remembering,
Te
souvenant,
The
safety
of
the
dark.
De
la
sécurité
de
l'obscurité.
Such
fantastic
beasts,
De
telles
bêtes
fantastiques,
Roamin'
city
streets
Errant
dans
les
rues
de
la
ville
'Til
it
takes
your
hand
and
sets
you
free
Jusqu'à
ce
qu'il
prenne
ta
main
et
te
libère
