Pull marine [English translation]

I touched the bottom of the pool

In the little navy sweater

All torn at the elbows

Which I did not want to mend

Which you had given me

I felt so forsaken

Is that not the bottom of the pool

That my eyes are navy blue

You had noticed them

Without a glance

And you had reapplied

Now I pay the delayed effect

Before touching the bottom

I go down backwards

Without knowing what was going on at the bottom

It’s full of chlorine at the bottom of the pool

I drink the cup, clink clink

As for you, I could care less

I am truly ready for anything

To swallow you, I don’t mind

If I am retrieved half dead

Drowned at the bottom of the pool

Nobody saw you

Under my little navy sweater

Hold me, I am kissing you

Until the point of no return

Rather than limit our love

Before touching the bottom

I go down backward

Without knowing what happened in the depths

Come quickly to the bottom of the pool

To recover your little sardine

To keep her from drowning herself.

In the depths of your heart you keep

A little sister who seeks

The look on your loving face

If we both are in the depths of the pool

Both of the magazines

Will look after our case

And I will nevermore

Put on dark glasses

To show all that I want to hide

Find me in the depths of the pool

Before it kills me

To go on without you

You can count on me

I’ll remake you to be more like a star

Who always has these bouts of blue

I touched the bottom of the pool

In your little navy sweater
