Serre-moi [English translation]

Hold me

Embrace* me on top

Come my angel, redraw the sky

I'm going to crucify your body

May I pin down your wings?

Kissing, you bite at the same time?

Forcing my nails in your scorching back

You beg me to return

And do everything, oh everything, to watch you leave

Come, take me there

Give me the hand that I cannot take

Skin my wings, blow** me away

And still yourself at the time

A thousand times we interlace

And let ourselves be tired even below

Hold me again, hold me

Until I choke on you

Refrain:

There are those bastards

That plunder the hearts of women

And those women don't know better***

Of where love draws it charm

Butterfly of flowers in bloom

Love in a lover's heart

Those that have but one star

Or those that burn their sail****

I love your tears when you love

Your sweat, the blood that makes us lovers

Who are passionate, and who bleed

I love when my skin is alive

I don't give off heat for long

To our tragedies, our farewells

Come back to me, come back to me (Come back to me)

You'll leave better that way

By writhing

We finish while biting

What is the point of remaking

When one is capable of the worst

Despite ourselves, despite ourselves

What good is feeling bigger than ourselves?

Two grains of madness in the wind

Two burning souls

Two children

Refrain

Hold me on top

Come my angel redraw the sky

I'm going to crucify your body

May I pin down your wings?

Kissing, you bite at the same time

Forcing my fingernails in your scorching back

You beg me to come back

And do everything to watch you leave

Come! Take me there

Give me the hand I cannot take

Skin my wings, blow me away

And still yourself at the time

A thousand times we interlace

And let ourselves be tired below

Hold me again, hold me

Until I choke on you

Hold me again, hold me
