Les jambes des femmesSont des ciseauxElles tranchent la vieEn petits morceauxComme des becs d’oiseaux enivrésVolant au-dessus de la mer
Moi j’aime avoir les pieds sur terreRacines au sol et tête en l’airPour contempler le ciel d’azurEt le spectacle de ces fruits murs
Les mains des femmesDes papillonsElles parlent et jouentCaressent aussiElles sont des griffes de lionnes sauvagesTiennent la vie
Et les hommes aussi
Ma chère MadeleineN’est pas comme çaDe ces dix doigts
M’étreint le cœurSes belles gambettesSont toujours prêtes
Pour une ballade
A bicyclette


English translation :
Les Jambes des Femmes
Ladies’s legs
Are scissorsThey cut life upInto little piecesLike beaks of drunken birdsFlying over the sea

Myself, I like having my feet on the groundRooted to the soil and my head in the cloudsTo contemplate the azur skyAnd the spectacle of ripened fruits
Ladies’ handsAre butterfliesThey talk and playAnd caress
They are the claws of wild lionessesGripping lifeAnd, at the same time, men
My dear MadeleineIs that not howThese ten fingersTighten my heartHer beautiful legsAre always

readyFor a bicycle ride

If you wanna know, how hard it wasSince you’ve been gone, all night long
If you really wanna know, how time can be long And how freezing cold, your mind can beThen just, listen to those words I say And pray for your heart to melt awayIt’s the broken heart lullaby
For you to realize it cries
How many wonders you can put in just one heart This one is broken from the start

Oh why don't you take me to the moonI'll fly with you in a baloonand there you'll kiss me
and we will walk back to you.
Oh this is just happening all too soonmy life looks like a cartoonand then you'll kiss meand i am all stuck with you.
And I oh Ijust wanna fly highwhatever you say i'll blindly go your wayto the sky
And when we kissit seems as if we're glued togetherforever and ever'till the end of time.
Oh why don't you take me to the moonI'll fly with you in a baloonand there you'll kiss me
and we will walk back to you.
Tu tu ru tu to you.

Bem bã bã bossaFelicidade meu amor

The light is dimmed and so is your lookYou can’t ignore what’s coming in your arms Everything is broken in this old room
We must erase the evidence of this crimeA velvet ribbon
The sulfurous bond of our love
A velvet ribbon
Crossing hearts through the color of your skin A velvet ribbon
To tie your love to mine and
A velvet ribbon
Keep a memory through timeBodies exhausted
Sweat on your skin
I can see the shivers beading like waves on her I think we found our common ground
We can’t ignore that love is in our armsA velvet ribbon
The sulfurous bond of our love
A velvet ribbon
Crossing hearts through the color of your skinA velvet ribbon
The sulfurous bond of our love
A velvet ribbon
Crossing hearts through the color of your skin A velvet ribbon
To tie your love to mine and
A velvet ribbon
Keep a memory through time
