La vague à lames [English translation]

Today I've got the waves with blades,

I don't know why

I feel my heart on the blade

Of a wave of cold.

I am in No Man's Land

Who knows?

Or in the no-way

Nobody Knows

If we play well

Or if we exaggerate

OK, OK, Yeah

I'm rowing through the water

Trouble I know

That this is not gay.

I want to go far away

In my canoe

With my two paddles

OK, OK, Yeah.

On the enamel

Or on the corals

I want to be stranded.

The wave with blades

Perhaps a breeze of the soul

Springs up like a blade

Of a knife that turns it into a drama.

Moving through the water I'm bathing in sweat,

I have a fever

Of the tropical marshes,

Shivers down my spine,

I feel cold as ice

Because of the horror of not loving you anymore

OK, OK, Yeah.

On the enamel

Or on the corals

I want to be stranded.

The wave with blades

Perhaps a breeze of the soul

Springs up like a blade

Of a knife that turns into a drama.

On the enamel

Or on the corals

I want to be stranded

Who knows?
