Le Gouffre

The Abyss

Le Gouffre

You think that your lifeTu penses que ta vie
Is of little importanceEst sans grande importance
That the words that come to youQue les mots qui te viennent
Don't really make senseN'ont pas vraiment de sens
In your head there are noisesDans ta tête il y a des bruits
You feel like an animalTu te sens animal
You stay in your bedTu restes dans ton lit
When you say 'I' it hurtsQuand tu dis "je" t'as mal
Diving nose firstEn piqué tu plonges
Without seeming toSans en avoir l'air
I don't know what's eating at youJ'sais pas ce qui te ronge
It's not very clearC'est pas très clair
I don't know what's eating at youJ'sais pas ce qui te ronge
But you bury yourselfMais tu t'enterres

The abyss calling youLe gouffre qui t'appelle
You descend rappellingTu descends en rappel
Smelling the scent of sulfurSentant l'odeur du souffre
To me, you're the most beautifulPour moi, t'es la plus belle

You were already so tiredT'étais déjà si fatiguée
The year I met youL'année où je t'ai rencontrée
You had knives in your headT'avais dans le crane des couteaux
That came to caress your skinQui venaient caresser ta peau
You wore your hatred over your shoulderTu portais ta haine en bandoulière
You and the others were at warToi et les autres c'était la guerre

The abyss calling youLe gouffre qui t'appelle
You descend rappellingTu descends en rappel
Smelling the scent of sulfurSentant l'odeur du souffre
To me, you're the most beautifulPour moi, t'es la plus belle

You no longer had a taste for anythingTu n'avais plus goût à rien
You were in your dark tunnelT'étais dans ton boyau noir
Your days all had the same endTes jours avaient tous la même fin
You were going to rust behind a barT'allais rouiller derrière un bar
Now you can put downMaintenant tu peux poser
Your razor and your suitcaseTon rasoir et ta valise
Your path doesn't go any furtherTon chemin ne va pas plus loin
You'll have to improviseIl va falloir que t'improvises

The abyss calling youLe gouffre qui t'appelle

The abyssLe gouffre

Before our time, the trace howlsAvant notre heure hurle la trace
Of you, of me, of those who pass byDe toi, de moi, de ceux qui passent
Before our time, the trace howlsAvant notre heure hurle la trace
Of you, of me, of those who pass byDe toi, de moi, de ceux qui passent
Before the fear, before the breakAvant la peur, avant la casse
And as I see our lives tracingEt comme je vois nos vies qui tracent

The abyss calling youLe gouffre qui t'appelle
You descend rappellingTu descends en rappel
Smelling the scent of sulfurSentant l'odeur du souffre
To me, you're the most beautifulPour moi, t'es la plus belle
