Quand tu m'aimes [English translation]

When You Love Me

It's the turbulent wind

Lifting up your underclothes

It's the spring rain

That licks my cheeks

When you love me

It's the burning sun

That caresses my skin

And the light air of the times

With it's sweet and hot breath

When you love me

More than all that, it's

A thousand other things

That belong to you and me

And perturb my body

With an infinite weakness

When you love me

It's your voice which is lost

In an amorous sigh

That makes my flesh vibrate

And brings water to my eyes

Tears of tenderness

When you love me

It's the Devil and Hell

Mixed in all of our games

It's the sky that is our gift

From all of the Gods

when you love me

It's an eclipse and a thunderbolt

That enlighten our joys

It's the foam of the sea

Which dies on your fingers

When you love me

It's kneaded by your hands

All my senses awakened

It's my body on yours

Our halting breaths

And our intimate gestures

When you love me

It's those tender cries

And those laments of love

Which rend our nights

And die at the break of day

In ultimate pleasure

When you love me

When you love me

When you love me

My love
