Nous perdre au Louvre [English translation]

Hello, I’m bored

What are you doing today?

Are you bored too?

All you have to do is say yes

The sky is grey

Your eyes are too

But is the Louvre open?

Of course, it’s Friday

Hurry up

It’s not complicated, take the Metro, Line 7

From your place

We’ll be able to stay dry there

And I confess

I dreamed of this often

I thought of this often

A date in bad weather

We both get lost in the Louvre

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

It’s true, I confess

Of course I thought about it

I dreamed about it a lot

The Louvre on a rainy day

A Friday in winter

And about various subjects

Meeting Vermeer

Accidently, in a hallway

No surprises, we’ve long since told one another about our lives, our passions past

.............

We tell stories of our present

I’ve dreamed of this often

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time

So I’ll wait for you

Getting lost in the Louvre since it’s raining

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

Come on, I’m bored, you’re doing nothing today

So say yes, come on, say yes,

Under the Great Odalisque, her back so long, so naked

I’ll have to tell you that you can address me as “thou”

Without hesitation you’ll say, “I’m all in,” and then be intimidated

We make some detours around this intimacy

Silence, are those eyes thinking about the both of us?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

de La Tour, Delacroix, of love, why not?

We’ll kiss under the Mona Lisa

In front of 400 Japanese tourists

I’ll say, “you’re the most beautiful person in the world”

And you’ll say, “I was waiting for you”
