Tant de nuits [English translation]

My angel I have hated you

I have left you to love

Others than me

A bit further on from here

My angel I have betrayed you

So many nights, bedridden

My heart has ceased

To give me life

So far away from me

So far away from me

So far away from me

The strange armies

The ambiguous shadows

The sons that one mocks

And the women that one leaves

The outdated sadnesses

The misfortunes that one forgets

The fingernails a little dirty

The fingernails a little dirty

My angel I have punished you

So to sacrifice myself

Idolized icon

Filthy things in the night

My angel I have hated you

I have left you to kill

Our sketched-out youths

The rest of our lives

So far away from me

So far away from me

So far away from me

So far away from me

The strange armies

And the ambiguous shadows

The sons that one mocks

And the women that one leaves

The outdated sadnesses

The misfortunes that one forgets

The fingernails a little dirty

The fingernails a little dirty

My angel I have hated you

My angel I have hated you
