Éteins la lumière [English translation]

Turn off the light

Come close to my heart

Let my arms hold you tight

[And]take your warmth

Let the whole night

Shower us with joy

Turn off the light

Crawl closer to me

Turn off the light

Pull the curtains

Flow on the feeble

Earth of my skin

Become the river

The source of love

That quenches my thirst

Till the dawn

At the hour when everything is sinking

And becomes murmur

At the hour when shades

Stick on the wall

In the dark room

Let’s bite into the fruit

Of these countless joys

Which live through the night

Turn off the light

Curl up on me

Let love enlighten

Our tender throes

And we will be able to make

Not caring about time

The sweet inventory

Of our feelings

Turn off the light

In the darkness

My hands that hold you tight

Will remodel

Your forehead, your eyelids

Your lips and your neck

Turn off the light

The night is ours

Turn off the light

Cover our madness

With a touch of mystery

With a touch of magic

Let your chimeras

Sink tenderly

Into the pleasant war

That lovers fight

At the hour when the things

Seem abandoned

At the hour when the rose

Waits for the dew

Happiness proposes

Its dreams for two

And love imposes itself

To the lovers

Turn off the light

For in the extraordinary greatness

Of our happiness

Be only a matter

Be only a thought

Turn off the light

Come, we are going to love each other

Turn off the light

Come, we are going to love each other

Turn off the light

Come on, come, we are going to love each other

Oh, turn off the light

Come, we are going to love each other
