Papillon [English translation]

You,you are just a butterfly

caught in a whirlwind

and to know yourself beautiful

you would burn your wings

you risk your luck1

your life on a dance tune

But I,I have only you

I don't have time,I am not fifteen years old

I cannot waste my time

When you go away I stay here

But I,I have just you

and my two arms to look after you

to hold you against me

and to take you away wherever you want

You,like a butterfly,you go

You do not know toward what are you running

you laugh even when you make love

and you have fun scaring me

when you leave your beautiful colors

between hands without sweetness

But I,I have only you

I don't have time,I am not fifteen years old

I cannot waste my time

When you go away I stay here

But I,I have just you

and my two arms to look after you

to hold you against me

and to take you away wherever you want

But I,I have only you

I don't have time,I am not fifteen years old

I cannot waste my time

When you go away I stay here

But I,I have just you

and my two arms to look after you

to hold you against me

and to take you away wherever you want

1. literally you play with your luck
