Rouge [English translation]
Rouge [English translation]
Red
Like a setting sun over Mediterranean sea
Red
Like the Bordeaux wine
In my starry head
Red
Like the blood of Rimbaud
Running on the notebook
Red
Like a sea covering
the Judean desert
Red
Like the cheeks of a child
When he has played a lot
Red
Like an apple that gives you
The perfume of sin
Red
Like the fire of a volcano
That is going to wake up
Red
Like this star in the heart of
This lied down sleeper
Like a bird killed
By a tragic shot
Like an actor wounded
By the shouts of the public
Like a broken violin
That replays the heroic
Like a frozen vision
Of the last Titanic
Red
Like the passion of gypsies
When the violins panic
Red
Like the signaling lighthouse
When a plane flew
Red
Like a woman’s lips
When love drives her crazy
Red
Like a lier’s forehead
That betrays on word
Like a bird killed
By a tragic shot
Like an actor wounded
By the shouts of the public
Like a broken violin
That replays the heroic
Like a frozen vision
Of the last Titanic
Like the silence that follows
The lyrics in music
Like a symphony
When it is pathetic
Red
Like a man’s anger
When he sees that is going
Red
All he has built
All he has loved
Red
Like the gown of Christ
That the soldiers have played
Like the color of the sky
When it is going to fall down
Like a bird killed
By a tragic shot
Like an actor wounded
By the shouts of the public
Like a broken violin
That replays the heroic
Like a frozen vision
Of the last Titanic
Like the silence that follows
The lyrics in music
Like a symphony
When it is pathetic
- Artist:Michel Sardou
