Je L'Aime À Mourir
Francis Cabrel
I love her to death
I was nothing and here is today,
I am the guardian of his night's sleep. I love him to death
You can destroy anything you please
She just has to open the space with her arms
To rebuild everything. To rebuild everything. I love him to death
She erased the numbers from the neighborhood clocks
She made my life into paper casseroles, bursts of laughter
She built bridges between us and the sky
And we go through them every time she
Does not want to sleep. Does not want to sleep. I love him to death
She had to fight all the wars to be so strong today,
She had to fight all the wars of life and love too.
She lives her opaline dreams as best she can
She dances in the middle of the forests that she draws. I love him to death
She wears ribbons that she lets fly away
She often sings to me that I'm wrong to try
To hold them back. To hold them back. I love him to death
To climb into his cave hidden under the roofs
I have to nail notes to my wooden shoes. I love him to death
I just have to sit down, I don't have to talk,
I don't have to want anything, I just have to try
To belong to him. To belong to him
I love him to death
She had to fight all the wars to be so strong today,
She had to fight all the wars of life and love too
I was nothing and today,
I am the guardian of his night's sleep. I love him to death
You can destroy anything you please
She just has to open the space with her arms
To rebuild everything. To rebuild everything. I love him to death
