Mon Ange de Tristesse [English translation]

What might I have done?

What didn't I do?

The moon was full

What's going on, you warm skin

Is turning to ice, it's not normal

I resisted, I wanted it too much

You took my away, and I followed you

We made love just like we were making war

We're spent, it's going to pass

[Chorus]

My sorrowful angel1

Either leave or stay

If you stay, make love to me

Until my very last day

It's better that we leave each other

To hope...to start all over again

What do you have to do

That can't wait for tomorrow?

What might I have said

That you won't listen to?

The sky is menacing, but it won't fall2

You scared me, it's going to pass

[Refrain]

What might I have done

That I wasn't supposed to do?

What might I have said

That I wasn't supposed to say?

Never again! Never again!

1. Lit.: 'My angel of sorrow'2. This is a bit hard to translate properly. 'Le ciel menace de tomber' means 'It looks like the sky will fall down on us'. 'Le ciel est menaçant' would simply mean that the weather is stormy/menacing looking.
