Aime-moi [English translation]

To dance, from the look and hands to tame

A proposition, a negotiation, an invitation to forget everything

To sway, like rafts floating, like canoes

Like wine intoxicates, gets you tipsy, like a tango, to sway, to lie back

To fall, like a bird carried by a great wind

Like a boat at the bottom of the ocean

As though we chose emptiness, nothingness

Love me, (oh oh) love me (oh oh oh)

Love me (oh oh yeah) love me (oh oh)

To dance, to close your eyes and not think anymore

Of fingertips touching you, troubling you

Say that I dance, but tame you.

To fall, in the storm, to die devastated

In this volcano, to lose myself and burn myself

To die of love and be brought back to life by it

(Love me)

Like a parenthesis, a pose, a truce, an emptiness that I drown in

(Love me)

Like love in a dream without restrictions, without rules, not thinking of that anymore

(Love me)

And like a sacrilege to satisfy the procession of my desires for you

(Love me)

And I stop time, breathe offbeat, to almost not breathe at all

Love me

(I trace the path of your mouth and your hands, I draw the way)

Love me

(And it's me that will decide to take you away and to guide you and to have you at my disposal)

Love me

(To eat you like an apple that you bite and leave, to take you as a man)

Love me

(I know the way and how it must be done to find the light)

Love me (oh oh) love me (oh oh oh)
