Sur mes lèvres [English translation]

On my lips,

He walks just like the gods

On my lips,

He think he's in the middle

On the lips

He just created for me

It would seem that he is

Overwhelmed by darkness

On my lips,

Where his soul is embodied

On my lips,

He carries on with his task

On my lips

Which have the unreality

Which have the moist beauty

Of an undressed queen

He takes from his bank account

The money needed for the journey

Some friends in New York

Will lend him the entire floor

For the outside beauty

Displeases him so much

On my lips,

When the heart gets heavy

To my lips,

Returns the traveler

On my lips,

From a faraway street,

Dressed from head to toe,

He blows a kiss

On my lips,

In his people of blood

On my lips,

In his childish dream

On my lips,

We fall into my hedge

Haunted by desire

Just like two tomboys

He takes from his bank account

The money needed for the journey

Some friends in Woodstock

Will lend him the entire floor

For the outside beauty

Displeases him so much

On my lips,

Just like anatomy

On my lips,

Strolls his distress

On my lips,

An exiled sovereign

On his line of queens,

It rains down

On my lips,

Just like a brother in crime

On my lips,

To his melancholy

On my lips,

With his musketeers

He's looking for a character,

A light character

He takes from his bank account

The money needed for the journey

Some friends in Chambord

Will lend him the entire floor

For the outside beauty

Displeases him so much

On my lips,

It's in his blood

On my lips,

He's flooded by the stream

On my lips,

For his clay women

He must fill this void

He's the god of an island

On my lips,

Since all is legendary

On my lips,

I sing his prayer

On my lips,

To leave behind this nothingness

God, please listen to him

On a revolving plate1

He takes from his bank account

The money needed for the journey

Some friends on Saturn

Will lend him the entire floor

For the outside beauty

Displeases him so much

On my lips,

The first snowfall of the winter

On my lips,

His god finally bends

On my lips,

Here comes the Finistère

Where could we go?

What did you expect to find

On my lips?
