Les Amants de Pompéi
Thierry Larose
The Lovers of Pompeii
Again and always
I would have waited for you
My love
But
If experience has taught me anything
Well, I say it teaches very poorly
The one who’s too much for the three of us
Is me
I know what they’ll say later
The lovers of Pompeii, under the ashes they perished
But for me, it was already too late
The lovers of Pompeii, under the ashes they perished
My muscles tense in the dark
Without my Pompeii lover, you didn’t choose me
To be the one who will hold you forever
The one who’s too much for the three of us
The one who’s too much for the three of us
Is me
I know what they’ll say later
The lovers of Pompeii, under the ashes they perished
But for me, it was already too late
The lovers of Pompeii, under the ashes they perished
My muscles tense in the dark
Without my Pompeii lover, you didn’t choose me
To be the one who loves you
