My exquisite corpse

from Circé Deslandes in english by Circé Deslandes

/

lyrics

A mon tendre et cher disparu To my dear and tender departed
Sorti trop tôt de ma pupille Taken from me (all) too soon
Maintenant que je ne te vois plus Now I can no longer see you
Je bricole dans mes souvenirs I rummage through my memories
A ta tendre chair étendue To your soft laid out skin
Dans laquelle j’aimais me blottir Against which I loved to nestle
Maintenant que je ne te sens plus Now I can no longer feel you
Je mets tes jeans et tes chemises I put on your shirts and Jeans
Mon exquis cadavre My exquisite corpse
Qui somnole dans la terre Slumbering in the ground
Où poussent les fleurs du mal where the flowers of evil grow
Que j’arrose que j’arrose que j’arrose tended by my tears tended by my tears tended by my tears
A mon tendre et cher inconnu To my dear and tender stranger
Qui murmurait près de mon cœur who whispered close to my heart
Maintenant que je ne t’entends plus Now that I can no longer hear you
Je mets en boucle ton répondeur I play your recorded (‘phone) message, endlessly
A ta tendre chair putride To your soft decaying flesh
Qui sentait si bon le tabac Which smelt so strongly, so
Beautifully of tobacco
Maintenant que tu n’es plus là Now you’re no longer here
Je fume des gauloises sans filtre I smoke Gauloises without a filter tip
Mon exquis cadavre My exquisite corpse
Qui somnole dans la terre Slumbering in the ground
Où poussent les fleurs du mal Where the flowers of evil grow
Que j’arrose que j’arrose que j’arrose Tended by my tears tended by my tears tended by my tears
