RIP [English translation]

A bimbo1 scare

On the dance floor she lands

Causes a slaughter

I'm preaching to a choir girl

With a RIP tatoo

Life flies by as fast as an angel

You and me

would be heavens

The days go by, I remain2

Wait for Epiphany

but I hear only weeping,

suspended sorrows3

Altos sound like minor

I hear Epistrophy4

I wait for the day to die

Everything goes when night falls.

Under the orange light

I wait for my delivery

An explosive mix

No more no-way streets5

Just a boulevard6

RIP

I can already feel my legs buckling

You and me

would be heavens

The days go by, I remain

Wait for Epiphany

but I hear only weeping,

suspended sorrows

Altos sound like minor

I hear Epistrophy

I wait for the day to die

Everything goes when night falls.

1. play on "bombe" : bomb / bimbo2. from Apollinaire's "le pont Mirabeau"3. play on "peine" : sorrow / sentence4. a jazz standard5. a rather cliché pun on the literal meaning of "sens interdit" : "forbidden senses" as in "forbidden sensual pleasure"6. this can also mean "a lot of latitude to do whatever you want"
