Τατουάζ

Έχω χαράξει στο πλευρό μου

Ένα άγριο δράκο που γελάει
Κάτω απ’ το πουκάμισό μου
Το χτυποκάρδι μου φυλάει
Του έχω δώσει τ’ όνομά σου
Μια και με πόνεσε πολύ
Τον στέλνω μέσα στα όνειρά σου
Να μένει ως την ανατολή

Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει

Έχω ένα δράκο στο κορμί μου
Τον λεν αγάπη και φωτιά
Που παίζει με τη δύναμή μου
Όταν με παίρνεις αγκαλιά
Έχω ένα τατουάζ κι εσένα
Να με χαράζεις να πονώ
Τώρα δε φεύγεις από μένα
Γιατί έχω ένα δράκο εγώ

Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει
Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει

Έχω ένα τατουάζ κρυμμένο
Έχω ένα σύμβολο ακριβό
Ένα παράθυρο ανοιγμένο
Να με παίρνει τ’ όνειρο

[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
