À La Guerre Comme À L'amour
Juliette Armanet
In War as in Love
Gently, I see your eyes drifting away from me
Towards oceans too blue, glaciers without emotion
Kindly, I feel everything crumbling around me
Beautiful fire islets drowning in the algae
In war as in love
Ah, you will always win
Gently, I feel your hands moving away from me
Towards clandestine cargoes, joyless labyrinths
Kindly, I feel everything sinking around me
Beautiful satin sheets drowning in the sands
In war as in love
Ah, you will always win
Without detours, I pass my turn, making tears fall
Weapons and chains
I plant chrysanthemums
I savor my pain
Without detours, you skip your turn, letting my tears flow
My weapons and chains
Watering the chrysanthemums
It's not worth it
Because gently, I know that one day my heart will rule
That contrary currents will bring you back to me
In war as in love
Ah, we lose, a little, always
