Dolorosa [English translation]

Today I decided

I decided not to kill you

Invite your lover to dinner on Sunday

Sunday’s the day

For chicken and chips

You’ll stretch your foot out to him under the laid table

At the bottom of the garden under our big rose tree

And you’ll be wearing a flaming smile

Dolorosa, Dolorosa, Dolorosa, Dolorosa

And then you’ll go to get the chicken and chips

And what will I and your lover talk about

Football, poetry or maybe his work

Or perhaps about you, Dolorosa

perhaps about you, Dolorosa

I’ll open a great wine, you’ll open your blouse

My gaze will drift far away, nearly embarrassed

He’ll ask you to behave a bit

In your ear he’ll promise you everything

As I had promised everything, Dolorosa, Dolorosa.

Dolorosa

I’ll find him too handsome I’ll find you very beautiful

Your face will have lost so many years

Your eyes will lock together Dolorosa

Your eyes will lock together

And then we will have drunk

Yes, we will have drunk too much

Surrounded by your gasps I won’t exist anymore

On tiptoes I’ll leave the table

And distance myself from the knowing giggles

Dolorosa, Dolorosa, Dolorosa, Dolorosa...

At the bottom of my garden two lovers are going to make love

I’m not going to kill them, I’m not going to kill them
