Éteins La Lumière

Turn off the light
Come close to my heart
Let my arms hold you tight
Take in your warmth
Let the whole night
Fill us with joy
Turn off the light
Crawl against me

Turn off the light
Draw the curtains
Flow down to the ground
Weak from my skin
Become the river
The source of love
That quenches my thirst
Until the break of dawn
At the hour when all fades
And becomes a whisper
At the hour when shadows
Stick to the wall
In the dark room
Let’s bite into the fruit
Of countless joys
That come alive at night

Turn off the light
Love on me
Let love shine
On our tender play
And we can make
Detached from time
The sweet inventory
Of our feelings

Turn off the light
In the darkness
My hands that hold you
Will reshape
Your forehead, your eyelids
Your lips and your neck
Turn off the light
The night is ours

Turn off the light
Cover our craziness
With a bit of mystery
With a bit of magic
Let your dreams
Sink tenderly
Into the lovely war
That lovers wage

At the hour when things
Seem abandoned
At the hour when the rose
Waits for the dew
Happiness offers
Its dreams for two
And love imposes
Itself on lovers

Turn off the light
For in the greatness
Extraordinary
Of our happiness
To be just matter
To be just thought
Turn off the light
Come on, let’s make love
