Quand tu dors

You sleep at night
But I’ve got insomnia
I see you sleeping
It makes me suffer
Your eyes closed
Your big body stretched out
It’s funny, but it makes me cry
And suddenly, there you are laughing
You’re laughing out loud in your sleep
Where the hell are you right now?
Where the hell have you really gone?
Maybe with another woman
Far away in another country
And with her, you’re laughing at me...

You sleep at night
I’ve got insomnia
I see you sleeping
It makes me suffer
When you sleep
I don’t know if you love me
You’re so close, but still so far away
I’m all naked, pressed against you
But it’s like I’m not even there
I can still hear your heart beating
I don’t know if it beats for me
I don’t know anything, I don’t know anymore
I wish your heart would stop beating
If one day you didn’t love me anymore...

You dream at night
But I’ve got insomnia
I see you dreaming
It makes me cry
Here comes the day and suddenly you wake up
And it’s me you’re smiling at
You smile with the sun
And I don’t think about the night anymore
You say the same words every time:
"Did you have a good night?"
And I answer like the day before:
"Yes, my darling, I slept well!"
"And I dreamed of you like every night..."
