As-tu Déjà Aimé
Canções de Amor (Les chansons d'amour)
Have You Ever Loved
Have you ever loved
For the beauty of the act?
Have you ever bitten
Into the apple with full force?
For the taste of the fruit
Its sweetness and zest
Have you often lost yourself?
Yeah, I've loved before
For the beauty of the act
But the apple was tough
I broke my teeth on it
Those immature passions
Those hard-to-swallow loves
Have often made me sick
Loves that last
Leave lovers drained
And their overripe kisses
Rot our tongues
Fleeting loves
Have trivial fevers
And their unripe kiss
Tears our lips
'Cause wanting to love
For the beauty of the act
The worm in the apple
Slips between our teeth
It gnaws at our hearts
Our brains and the rest
Slowly empties us
But when we dare to love
For the beauty of the act
That worm in the apple
That slips between our teeth
Fills our hearts
Our brains and leaves us
Its scent within
Fleeting loves
Make trivial efforts
Their fleeting caresses
Tire our bodies
Loves that last
Make lovers less beautiful
Their caresses, with wear
Take a toll on our skin
