Le Grand Amour [English translation]

She lived in the forest

A shed, as she said

She was used to sleep when she wanted to,

She never worked

A pareo tied to her back,

Some fruits, flowers and birds

A salty flavour on her skin

She was beatiful, I was too

Under a canopy made of tulle

A candle, a moonlight

Our two bodies in a bubble

The heart and the luck.

We never talked of love;

What is love?

We never talked of love;

The great love, it didn't exist

She smoked, I kissed her

I cooked, she embraced me

She danced, I sang

In english, in javanese

Naked, under my apron I relived

Abandoned between scented kisses

We never talked of love;

What is love?

We never talked of love;

The great love, it didn't exist

It was love, I know my stuff,

Till that day of the end of july

She smiled, but I guessed

The wind had changed

Scared by the scarecrow

Of that monstrous mistake

Love, the true, the beatiful

Cleared off in an instant.
