Le Jour Le Plus Froid Du Monde
Dionysos
The Coldest Day of the World
They say I was born on the coldest day of the world
They say I was born with a frozen heart
It even seems like I was carried in the belly to the top of the hill
Overlooking the city, and its steeples!
Up there lived in a strange house
A midwife called crazy by all the inhabitants
While she spent her time fixing people
The lost, the broken, with or without papers
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Fixing people!
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Fixing people!
As she laid me on the kitchen table
I thought for a moment she wanted to devour me
Would she take me for a grilled chicken
That had been forgotten to be killed?
She was cutting the skin of my chest
Her large serrated scissors stuck between my bones
She slipped a clock into my frozen debris
In place of my little frozen heart
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Fixing people
She told me my little one, there are three things that you should never
Oh never forget
First, do not touch your needles
Second, you must control your anger
And above all, never forget whatever happens
Never fall in love
Because then forever
On the clock of your heart the big hour hand will pierce your skin
The clock will explode, your bones will implode
The mechanics of the heart
Will be broken again
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Oh Madeleine who adored
Oh Madeleine who loved so much
Fixing people
Oh Madeleine
Oh Madeleine
Oh Madeleine
