My Lady Héroïne [English translation]

Oh my Lady Heroine

Oh my beauty, my divine one

Refold your wings upon me

My cute angel, my very beautiful one

Oh my Lady Heroine

My secret liaison

My candy rock, gently

Lift me up to Heaven

Oh my Lady Heroine

Oh my beauty, my divine one

You, my platonic love

My baby, my only child

Oh my Lady Heroine

As pure as Justine1

All your virtue's misfortunes

And all its joys are killing me

Oh my Lady Heroine

In your beauty I discern,

As your look pierces me through,

All the charms of Persia

Oh my Lady Heroine2

My opium, my cocaine

Did you come from the Far East

Or from a Persian market

Oh my Lady Heroine

In your beauty I discern,

As your look pierces me through,

All the charms of Persia

Oh my Lady Heroine

My opium, my cocaine

Did you come from the Far East

Or from a Persian market
