L'amour, c'est rien

Obsédée du pire (obsessed by the worst)
Et pas très prolixe (and not very prolix[1])

Se métaphysiquent... [2]

Et tombe l'ange Gabriel! (then, fall the angel Gabriel)

Obsédée du pire (obsessed by the worst)
Un peu trop physique... (a bit too physical)
L'envie de frémir (the will for thrill)

Moi sans la langue (me, without the tongue)

On n' sait même pas quand on se blesse (we hardly know when we hurt each others)
L'amour c'est rien (love is nothing)
Quand tout est sexuellement correct (when it's polltically correct)
On s'ennuie bien (we're boring a lot)

On crie avant pour qu' ça s'arrête (we shout just before to make it stop)

Elle est de miel ! (it's sweet as honey)
Quand elle s'acide de dynamite (when it turns acid like dynamite
Qui m'aime me suive! (Come all ye faithful)

Obsédée du pire (
Et pas très prolixe
Mes moindres soupirs
Se métaphysiquent...(as the chorus before)
J'ai dans la tête (I've got in my head)
Des tonnes de pirouettes (a lot of pirouettes[8]
Le saut de l'ange (the swallow (or swan) dive)
N'a pour moi rien d'étrange (is nothing stange to me)

Obsédée du pire (odsessed by the worst)
Et pas très prolixe (and not very prolix)
Partager mes rires (share my laughters)
Plutôt plutoniques (more or less "plutonics"[9]
J'ai dans ma sphère (I've got in my envirronement [10])
Un effet de serre (a greenhouse effect)
Mon sang bouillonne (my blood is boiling)
Je bous de tout, en somme (finally, everything makes my boil)



[1] prolix (or verbose) means to have a rich vocabulary
[2] "métaphisiquent" here, Mylène use an adjective (métaphisique) and use it as a verb
[3] "célèstes" this here an adjective (céleste=celestial) used as a common name
[4] "ascetisme" is the fact of voluntary cutting yourself down from food and drink as do some Indian mystics (the most famous to do that was Buddha)
[5]"s'enténebrent" a totally invented verb made from "ténebre" it could also mean "turn into night"
[6]"exangue" here an other adjective freely used as a verb
[7] "bascule" the French verb "basculer" means to topple over, but in the context of the song ot means a brutal change
[8] "pirouettes" difficult to figure out what Mylène means here, probably she means "twisted thoughts"
[9] "plutonics" here a funny way to mix together "Pluto" the planet (well it's not really a planet blah bla blah...) and the adjectiv "platonic"
[10] "sphere" normally this word is equivalent to English as the geometrical object, on the other hand, it can be an environnement in a social context, in Mylène's world (which is a world appart;-)) she probably talks about her head.

November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Oh My God

It's not how you're thinking
Like you've been right
You've been living a trade-off
Believe your own version
Believe your enslavery and drain out your soul
What can I do when there's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
That seek out their victims
And ruin the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha

Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know

So give it away
Like they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you bear him
To come back and haunt you
To burn past your feelings
And cause you to suffer
You're starting to bleed
They don't give you up
Before its too late
What will you offer
In way of a healing
I'm so confused, abused, misused

Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wouldn't know

Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than a strong compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than the last compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know

And they wont give in
Cause they know what they're after
A kick in the face
Like its all that would matter
Ohh

Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to murder and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Cuz nobody wouldn't know

Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than a good compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know

Ooh, well its on with the show
Like the tide down on the ocean
The waves already set in motion
The only one in the game that's lost is you
