Chambre 12 [English translation]

In the half-shade, room 12

It's his lovely shadow that I wed

The moon listens to me, the night disconcerts me.

In the half-shade, room 12.

I'm traveling alone on my double bed.

The rain falls onto the room 12

The walls' smell sings my blues

I believed in it as one believes in God,

By myself, I join this joint of weed

Tell me, what could I have done better ?

But what can we so about it ?

To come back one last time,

To say far-well to each other.

Tell me, what could I have done better ?

But what can we do about it?

To come back one last time,

To say far-well to you.

Even the dust, room 12,

Smells like love, smells like loose.

Everything was clear, nothing was sure,

He was speaking the truth, he was speaking harshly.

By the window, cabs are passing by,

Couples embrasse and then get bored.

Mouths touch each other and then break apart.

Stories are written and then erased.

Tell me, what could I have done better ?

But what can we so about it ?

To come back one last time,

To say far-well to each other.

Tell me, what could I have done better ?

But what can we do about it?

To come back one last time,

To say far-well to you.
