La Nuit Je Mens [English translation]

I’ve been seen on the Vercors range

Doing bungee jumps

Robbing amphorae

At the bottom of coves

I’ve courted moray eels

I’ve made love, I’ve played dead

You weren’t born yet

At the seaside resort

You didn’t have to be asked twice

I was massage glove, geyser

A tad more and I dripped

A water tale

At night I lie

I take trains to cross the plain

At night I lie

And wash my hands of it

In my boots are mountains of questions

Where an echo of you still remains

Where an echo of you still remains

I spent the season

Within this cranium

Your thoughts

I made my own

Hoarding you, only hoarding you

From platform to platform

I made so many misunderstandings dance

Miles and miles of vie en rose

One day at the circus

Another trying to humour you

Spitz trainer

Aqueduct dynamiter

At night I lie

I catch trains across the plain

At night I lie

Shamelessly

In my boots are mountains of questions

Where an echo of you still remains

Where an echo of you still remains

I’ve been seen on the Vercors range

Doing bungee jumps

Robbing amphorae

At the bottom of coves

I’ve courted moray eels

I’ve made love, I’ve played dead

You weren’t born yet.

At night I lie

I take trains to cross the plain

At night I lie

And wash my hands of it

In my boots are mountains of questions

Where an echo of you still remains

Where an echo of you still remains

At night I lie

I take trains to cross the plain

At night I lie

And wash my hands of it

In my boots are mountains of questions

Where an echo of you still remains

Where an echo of you still remains
