lyrics

Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning’

Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
A 7H53 At 7.53
Le ciel comme un linceul The sky spread itself
S’est étendu sur moi over me like a shroud

Je t’atttends en jarretelles I’m waitng for you in suspenders
Dans la salle de bains In the bathroom
Je voulais me faire belle I wanted to look beautiful
Mais voilà qui est en vain Alas it’s all in vain

Quand tu me trouveras When you discover me
Au pied du lavabo At the foot of the basin
Je t’en prie sois délicat Please be gentle
Ne me regarde pas trop Don’t stare at me too long

C’est que la mort mon amour (It’s just that)death my love
M’a rendue si pudique Has filled me with such modesty
Que tes yeux sur mon corps That your eyes on my body
Sont deux coups de canif Feel like two tiny knife wounds

Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
A 7H53 At 7.53
Le ciel comme un chagrin The sky like grief
S’est écroulé sur moi Overwhelmed me

S’il te plait, promets-moi Please promise
De ne pas me bruler You won’t have me cremated
De ne pas me jeter You won’t have me
Dans le grand océan Buried at sea

Redonne-moi à la terre Return me to the earth
Et à l’œuvre du temps Let nature take its course
Laisse-moi me faner Let me wither
Viens me fleurir souvent Come often to make me bloom

Et puis viens me rejoindre And when it’s time
Quand ce sera le moment Come and be reunited with me
Je t’ai gardé une place I’ve saved you a space
Près de moi, je t’attends Right next to me, I’m waiting for you

Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
Le ciel comme un chagrin The sky like grief
Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning

Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
Le ciel comme un chagrin The sky like grief
Je suis morte ce matin I died this morning
