Paroles et traduction Jean-Jacques Goldman - Nuit - Live Version 2002

Nuit - Live Version 2002

La nuit t'habille dans mes bras
Pâles rumeurs et bruits de soie
Conquérante immobile
Reine du sang des villes
Je la supposais, la voilà
Tout n'est plus qu'ombre, rien ne ment
Le temps demeure et meurt pourtant
Tombent les apparences
Nos longs, si longs silences
Les amants se perdent en s'aimant
Solitaire à un souffle de toi
Si près tu m'échappes déjà
Mon intime étrangère
Se trouver c'est se défaire
A qui dit-on ces choses-là?
Dors!
As down lights up another day
Visions I once had fade away
All of those words unspoken
My wildest dreams off broken
It wasn't supposed to be that way
Should I leave why should I stay
Solitaire à un souffle de toi
Leavin behind me yesterday
Si près tu m'échappes déjà
Am I free or forsaken
Mon intime étrangère
Cheated or awakened
Se trouver, c'est se défaire
Does it matter anyway?

Night - Live Version 2002

The night dresses you in my arms
Pale rumors and rustling silks
Motionless conqueror
Queen of the city's blood
I imagined her, here she is
All is shadow now, nothing lies
Time lingers and yet dies
Appearances crumble
Our long, long silences
Lovers lose themselves in loving
Solitude a breath away from you
So close, yet you already elude me
My intimate stranger
To find oneself is to lose oneself
To whom does one say these things?
Sleep!
As dawn lights up another day
Visions I once had fade away
All of those words unspoken
My wildest dreams off broken
It wasn't supposed to be that way
Should I leave, why should I stay
Solitude a breath away from you
Leavin behind me yesterday
So close, yet you already elude me
Am I free or forsaken
My intimate stranger
Cheated or awakened
To find oneself is to lose oneself
Does it matter anyway?
