Lyrics and translation
Original
Chanson.
Toi qui ne veux rien dire.
Toi qui me parles d'elle.
Et toi qui me dis tout.
Ô toi, que nous dansions ensemble.
Toi qui me parlais d'elle.
D'elle qui te chantait.
Toi qui me parles d'elle.
De son nom oublié.
De son corps, de mon corps.
De cet amour-là, de cet amour mort.
Chanson.
De ma terre lointaine.
Toi qui parleras d'elle.
Maintenant disparue.
Toi qui me parles d'elle.
De son corps effacé.
De ses nuits, de nos nuits.
De ce désir-là, de ce désir mort.
English translation
Song.
You who don't want to say anything.
You who tell me about her.
And you who tell me everything.
O you, let us dance together.
You who spoke to me about her.
Of her who sang to you.
You who tell me about her.
From his forgotten name.
Of his body, of my body.
Of this love, of this dead love.
Song.
From my distant land.
You who will talk about her.
Now gone.
You who tell me about her.
From his erased body.
Of his nights, of our nights.
Of this desire, of this dead desire.
