J'avais Rêve D'une Autre Vie

I dreamed of another life
But life killed my dreams
Like suffocating the last cries
Of an animal being put down

I dreamed of a heart so big
That mine could find a place in it
But my first prince charming
Was the assassin of my childhood

I paid with all my tears
The ransom of a little happiness
To a society that disarms
The victim, not the thief

I dreamed of only one love
Lasting until the end of the world
That we never fully understand
As true as the earth is round

I dreamed of another life
But life killed my dreams
Hardly begun, it ends
Like a short-lived spring

I dreamed of another life
But life killed my dreams
Hardly begun, it ends
Like a short-lived spring

At night, at night, I sink into my body
And I surrender to sinister embraces
At night, at night, for two pieces of gold
When they make their pitiful effort erupt in me
They don't know they're making love with death
