Nager la nuit

Swimming at night

Nager la nuit

Swimming at nightNager la nuit
In still waterDans une eau qui dort
Drifting off courseS'étendre hors circuit
Towards an offshore lifeVers une vie offshore
Following the infiniteSuivre l'infini

Moving away from the harborS'éloigner du port
Even if everything is overMême si tout est cuit
Even if there's no one on boardQu'il n'y a personne à bord
Swimming at nightNager la nuit
In icy waterDans une eau glacée
Feeling overwhelmedSe sentir envahi
By past lovesDes amours passés
Searching for the unspokenChercher les non-dits
In your broken voiceDans ta voix cassée
Wanting itEn avoir envie
Having had enoughEn avoir assez
I may understandJ'ai beau comprendre
That you've turned the pageQue tu as tourné la page
That you were following the lightningQue tu suivais la foudre
That you feared the stormQue tu craignais l'orage
I may tell myselfJ'ai beau me dire
Against the shoresContre les rivages
We could have ended upOn aurait pu finir
Stranded on the beachÉchoués sur la plage

It's with you that I swimC'est avec toi que je nage

Swimming at nightNager la nuit
In troubled watersDans une eau trouble
In the waves of oblivionDans les flots de l'oubli
Finding your doubleRetrouver ton double
Falling from that bedTomber de ce lit
IrresistibleIrrésistible
Where we learnedOù on s'est appris
That everything is possibleQue tout est possible
Swimming at nightNager la nuit
Swimming into the wallNager dans le mur
Where everything is saidLà où tout est dit
Where nothing lastsLà où rien ne dure
Listening to the soundÉcouter le bruit

Of these dark wavesDe ces vagues obscures
As long as the water is lifeTant que l'eau est vie
As long as the water is pureTant que l'eau est pure
I may understandJ'ai beau comprendre
That you've turned the pageQue tu as tourné la page
That you were following the lightningQue tu suivais la foudre
That you feared the stormQue tu craignais l'orage
I may tell myselfJ'ai beau me dire
Against the shoresContre les rivages
We could have ended upOn aurait pu finir
Stranded on the beachÉchoués sur la plage

It's with you that I swimC'est avec toi que je nage

I may understandJ'ai beau comprendre
That you've turned the pageQue tu as tourné la page
That you were following the lightningQue tu suivais la foudre
That you feared the stormQue tu craignais l'orage
I may tell myselfJ'ai beau me dire
Against the shoresContre les rivages
We could have ended upOn aurait pu finir
Stranded on the beachÉchoués sur la plage

It's with you that I swimC'est avec toi que je nage
