lyrics

[EN]:

The sun has risen,
And the rivers have been released from their banks.
And we are golden,
We are holy in the bodies of flesh.

We are young,
But we are not fools—
And I remember what George you once told me:
"Man never grows wise to love;
Man never grows wise to death"

And you gave me a rose for winter,
Like the splinter in your finger
When you were all alone,
Standing in your mothers clothes.

And tonight once more
Your body was close to mine—
And it was warm like a sun.

And with the words of Leonard Cohen
Blowing through your lips
As I am stitched to your hips.

And you gave me a rose for winter,
Like the splinter in your finger
When you were all alone,
Standing in your mothers clothes.

And the scent of your skin,
Like a spear through my senses
Like breaking down the fences
Of my inhibition.

-----------------

[FR]

Le soleil s'est levé,
Et les rivières ont été lâchées
Par leurs berges.

Et nous sommes doré•es,
Nous sommes sacré•es dans ces corps de chair.

Nous sommes jeunes,
Mais pas idiot•e•s,
Et je me souviens de ce que tu m'as dit George:
"On ne s'habitue jamais à l'amour,
On ne s'habitue jamais à la mort"

Et tu m'as donné une rose pour l'hiver,
Comme l'écharde dans ton doigt
Quand tu étais toute seule
Dans les vêtements de ta mère.

Et ce soir encore
Ton corps était proche du mien,
Chaud comme un soleil.

Et avec les mots de Leonard Cohen
Qui traversent tes lèvres,
Pendant que nous sommes cousues par hanches,
Cousues par les mains et les hanches.

Et tu m'as donné une rose pour l'hiver,
Comme l'écharde dans ton doigt
Quand tu étais toute seule
Dans les vêtements de ta mère.

Et le parfum de ta peau
Comme une flèche qui perce mes sens,
Comme démanteler les clôtures
De mon inhibition.
