Être Prêtre Et Aimer Une Femme

I was a happy man before I met you
I had repressed deep inside me
That force of stifled sex in my adolescence
I had for a wife and mistress religion and science
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
Loving her with all the fury of her soul!
Against all odds, I was unshakable
Straight and proud like a cathedral tower

When you came like a worm to gnaw at me from within
And awaken in me the fire of an old volcano
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
Loving her with all the fury of her soul!
I lived far from women, flagellated in my flesh
When in the heart of the night, it was like a lightning bolt
Distracted from my prayer, I opened my window

At the rising day to see you appear
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
Loving her, yes, loving her, with all the fury of her soul!
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
Caress me with one hand torture me with the other
Make me atone for my sin
The hell where you go, I will go too
And it will be my paradise
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
Loving her, yes, loving her, with all the fury of her soul!
Oh! being a priest and loving a woman
A woman
