Give me a night of asylum in your lap
Tonight, for example, let's leave the world outside
open your arms, close them with me inside
Just a few hours, and later, when at dawn I'll put on the coffee
And I will have taken this cloud towards another sky of passing clouds
If the dream loses its footing, slips,
remains hanging from a thread
I prefer a sleepless night over being on pins and needles
Give me a night of asylum
Give me a night of asylum
Give me a peaceful haven
I will give you what I have
This love that I don't explain to myself
the years go by, and it continues with its back turned to the passage of time
I want you to make small talk about the weather
while you take off your clothes as if it was something unremarkable
As if seeing you naked didn't stun me so systematically
May your skin be unknown to me
may it always leave me restive
I prefer to lick my wounds after
rather than let your love lose its edge
Give me a night of asylum
