Rien que l’extase [English translation]

I came across near death last Monday

I felt bullets hissing by my ear

And if I could've dodged it, it was by chance

One was at-least a quarter away, yeah

How can I describe to you his two hands on my hips?

The bite of beautiful teeth on my white skin

And the fear that tears us apart, that seizes us

When death smiles at us

And since then, it's like that

I don't do anything right

I walk under the rain

And I only do what gives me joy

Nothing but the ecstasy of our caresses

Of our faces, oh yes

And since then, it's done

I only do summer days

And lying in the wind

I watch the sky go by

Nothing but the ecstasy of our caresses

Of our faces, our faces

When death is here, suddenly, it's obvious

It's going to break our backs, not one nor two

And it's going to bring us to our knees like the damned

To ourselves in chaines, ouch

How can I describe to you his shadow in my neck?

The burn of his disaster at my knees?

And how to tell you the desire and the dread

That death poses there?

And then since it's for sure

I barely worry about anything anymore

Remorse, debris

Won't go my way no more, no

Nothing but the ecstasy of your caresses

Of our faces, mmh yes

And then since it's all gentle

I don't do anything at all

No regrets nor hassles

I let the time go by there

Nothing but the ecstasy of your caresses

Of our faces, mmh yes

La, la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Nothing but ecstasy, nothing but ecstasy

Nothing but ecstasy, mmh

La, la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Nothing but ecstasy, nothing but ecstasy

Nothing but ecstasy, mmh
