Décollage [English translation]

{Oxmo}:

A-li-zee

Who is getting real1

Lift-off

{Alizée}:

Melancholy in the collimator

Even in my bed, without a computer

Dreaming of a spiral staircase

Spiral snail, spiral

Pack your bags for the invitation

Choose the jersey based on inspiration

I leave in a breath and it's the detonation

Detonation, a detonation

You hear it when your man is bad

A kiss and I take off

This is the phenomenal vein

Destination, a destination

To retire for a trip

Living in capital letters

Take off in a shell2

Escape

It's an escape

{Chorus}:

Fall back for a takeoff, no altitude3

I escape in my shell, for certainty4

Without going back to my starting points

Seeking a star for a date

Make a stopover in my constellation

At ease in my bubble shell

Sadness has no place

This air sickness is tireless

Be careful, pay attention

Reloaded when I get out of there

At his side, I feel there

His eyes give me some

Palpitation, palpitations

Come and kiss me in your petals

My mother-of-pearl skin and your golden pearl

I go in when the angels sleep

Situation is the situation

{Chorus}

When my shell is in the hollow of the wave

You can only cry one milligram

Tinkerbell is my only co-pilot

It's from my bubble that we go to action

Inside I am the antidote

Everything will unfold as we had

Planned. Plane ? But it's not an airplane

Like a plane but the wings of a bird

Takeoff, no altitude

I escape in my shell, for certainty

{Chorus}

{Oxmo}:

No landing even if you're wise ... Beach5

1. It seems there is not particular meaning to this sentence. It merely is a way to introduce her.2. The shell was chosen because "coquillage" rhyme with "décollage", because a shell makes you think of holydays, and because a shell has a spiral making your head spin.3. This is a lift-off in her bed, not in an airplane, so there is no altitude.4. It is not clear why she talks about "certitude". Maybe, it is again for the rhyme, with "altitude".5. She wants to take off all the time, and even for a strong young man, that may not be easy to be her partner.
