L'amour m'a tué [English translation]

Will I one day have the guts

To return to battle?

There's still blood

Under my nails, I think

That I need a lot more time

To forget someone like you

Washing, even scrubbing

The traces of blood does not get rid of it

Why do we always have to suffer

Is what dying is like?

I had heard your fingers snapping

And of course I had crawled right back to you

I was always on guard

When you looked at my body

I have this hickey stuck to my neck

Like a trace of remorse

But to think about something else

Maybe I should break my arm

I know that love killed more people

Than a whole century of cholera

I saw the death of thousands

Today, it falls to me

Thanks for being gentle

In saying you didn't love me

I found it truly charming

The compassion that escorted your voice

Crime is always more elegant

When the assassin is very skilled

And you walk away, and you walk away

And I do nothing

It's rare that one wins

By being stupid

I would have to run to you after

Throwing myself to your feet

There's no more love or pride

Love has killed me

I'm not going to throw myself at your heels,

All the reproaches of the earth

The place is silent, my sweetheart

So there's no noise in my cemetery

Yes, I would have to hold onto you

With what I didn't have

With diamonds or megaliths

You see, I'd say anything

Just to go a little farther away

To fall a little higher

I lost you like an idiot

As I said before

And behind the glass

I watch all of our plans

Losing blood by the liter

Agonising in their incubators

The white of nurses

Has never excited me

They can mix up names

Besides, babies are ugly
