Mon corps mon amour [English translation]

My body is falling asleep, my love

I'm calling your hands to their wandering

My body is clawing at itself1, my love

Do you know the risks it takes2?

My body is going out, my love

It's worth nothing without your rescue

My body is lifeless, my love

and I feel a no-return coming up.

My body is weakening, my love

I'm appealing to your bravery

My body is getting numb, my love

I'm calling your senses as a last resort

Not a creed, more than lust

I shag, therefore I am3

That wakes my heart when it fell asleep

I don't care if they blame me

That's how I am

Nothing separates my flesh and my soul

When one is cured, the other flares up again

My body's dying, my love

You eyes go blind to its attires

My body's vanishing, my love

I'm done for without your participation

My body is weakening, my love

I'm appealing to your bravery

My body's dying out, my love

for yours does not pay heed

Not a creed, more than lust

I shag, therefore I am

That wakes my heart when it fell asleep

I don't care if they blame me

That's how I am

Nothing separates my flesh and my soul

When one is cured, the other flares up again

My body's dying, my love

You eyes go blind to its attires

My body's vanishing, my love

I'm done for without your participation

My boody comforts itself, my love

It livens up (rubbing) against another velvet

My body heals me, my love

I like it when it quivers without a fuss

Its life revives me, my love

I'm running outside to see daylight again

Its life revives me, my love

I'm running outside to see daylight again

My body is falling asleep, my love

I'm calling your hands to their wandering

My body is clawing at itself, my love

Do you know the risks it takes?

My body is lifeless, my love

and I feel a no-return coming up.

My body is going out, my love

It's worth nothing without your rescue

My body's dying, my love

and I feel a no-return coming up.

My body is lifeless, my love

and I feel a no-return coming up.

1. sounds rather weird in French too2. "encourir" sounds a bit like "courir" (take a risk) but is actually a legal term meaning "incur" (a penalty, sanction...)3. poor Descartes!
