Jeanne Mas
Si l´on m´avait conseillée,
J´aurais commis moins d´erreurs,
J´aurais su me rassurer,
Toutes les fois que j´ai eu peur,
Je me serais blottie au chaud,
A l´abri d´un vent trop fier,
Et j´aurais soigné ma peau,
Blessée par les froids d´hivers,
J´aurais mis de la couleur,
Sur mes joues et sur mes lèvres,
Je serais devenue jolie.
J´ai construit tant de châteaux,
Qui se réduisaient en sable,
J´ai prononcé tant de noms,
Qui n´avaient aucun visage,
Trop longtemps je n´ai respiré
Autre chose que de la poussière,
Je n´ai pas su me calmer,
Chaque fois que je manquais d´air,
Mes yeux ne veulent plus jouer,
Se maquillent d´indifférence,
Je renie mon innocence.
En rouge et noir, j´exilerai ma peur;
J´irai plus haut que ces montagnes de douleur,
En rouge et noir, j´afficherai mon cœur;
En échange d´une trêve de douceur,
En rouge et noir, mes luttes mes faiblesses,
Je les connais, je voudrais tellement qu´elles s´arrêtent;
En rouge et noir, drapeau de mes colères,
Je réclame un peu de tendresse.
Si l´on m´avait conseillée,
Tout serait si différent,
J´aurais su vous pardonner,
Je serais moins seule à présent,
Somnambule j´ai trop couru,
Dans le noir des grandes forêts,
Je me suis souvent perdue,
Dans des mensonges qui tuaient,
J´ai raté mon premier rôle,
Je jouerai mieux le deuxième,
Je veux que la nuit s´achève.
If I had been advised,
I would have made fewer mistakes,
I would have been able to reassure myself,
All the times I've been scared,
I would have snuggled up warm,
Sheltered from a too proud wind,
And I would have taken care of my skin,
Wounded by the cold winters,
I would have put some color,
On my cheeks and on my lips,
I would have become pretty.
I have built so many castles,
Which were reduced to sand,
I've spoken so many names,
who had no face,
Too long I haven't breathed
Something other than dust,
I couldn't calm down,
Every time I ran out of air,
My eyes don't want to play anymore,
Make up for indifference,
I deny my innocence.
In red and black, I will exile my fear;
I will go higher than these mountains of pain,
In red and black I will display my heart;
In exchange for a truce of sweetness,
In red and black, my struggles my weaknesses,
I know them, I wish they would stop;
In red and black, flag of my anger,
I crave a little tenderness.
If I had been advised,
Everything would be so different,
I could have forgiven you,
I'll be less alone now,
Sleepwalker I ran too much
In the dark of the great forests,
I often got lost,
In lies that killed,
I missed my first role,
I'll play the second one better,
I want the night to end.
