Elle est d'ailleurs [English translation]
Elle est d'ailleurs [English translation]
She has that kind of light deep in her eyes
That makes you go blind or fall in love
She moves like perfume in the air,
Gestures that make you stupid or turn you into a dog
And so distant inside her heart
She comes from elsewhere, for sure
She has a way of not saying anything
That speaks to the verge of memories
A way of crossing the street
When she goes to the butcher
When she catches up with me
She comes from elsewhere, for sure
And I fell into slavery
For that smile, for that face
And I tell her take me with you
And I'm ready to sail away
For other places, other shores
But she passes by without an answer
For her, words are worthless
She comes from elsewhere, for sure
She has the subtle hands of a lace maker
That would drive a Vermeer crazy,
This Venetian silhouette
When she leans through her window
I know this movement by heart
She comes from elsewhere, for sure
And I fell into slavery
For that smile, for that face
And I tell her take me with you
And I'm ready to sail away
For other places, other shores
But she passes by without an answer
For her, love is worthless
She comes from elsewhere, for sure
And I fell into slavery
For that smile, for that face
And I tell her take me with you
And I'm ready to sail away
For other places, other shores
But she passes by without an answer
