Sur le quai [English translation]

I was there, on the quay

And my arms, on emptiness

Will no longer close

On you, my love

The boat which leaves,

You, turning your head

It's you who's getting away

Yeah, but it's me in the storm

Come on! May the swells carry me away

Far from the dead loves,

May they bring back my love,

May she return, casting anchor at my door

My trembling heart, my shaking hands,

my fleeing eyes, will understand

In the oceans, the sky in tears

And me, and me, and me, dying

Crucified on a quay

I was there, crucified

I was there, on the quay

For a wooden beggar-woman

Come on! May the swells carry me away

Far from the dead loves,

May they bring back my love,

May she return, casting anchor at my door

The muddles of my fogs

In my whiskey when it's late

Lips bleeding, and me, I'm dying

One should never listen to one's heart

Come on! May the boat return

Me, if I don't go swimming

Far from the sobs, I drown

You, tell me you'll come back

The old port is too old

And me, I'm too much myself

There, to end up in love

Yeah, from barely half of me

Come on Damien, get your heart back

You know that she won't come back,

That she's left you for a soldier

Returning from combat

Our love was Titanic

And she--her name was Medusa

And me, I don't even have a raft

And in my eyes, nothing but sobs

So, I'm there, on the quay

There, on the quay of castaways

Me, Damien, there on the quay

But tell me, have you looked at yourself?

On the quay of castaways

Me, I was there on the quay

On the quay of castaways

Like a delirious madman

There, like a madman, on the dock

I see this boat, leaving

And me, and me, remaining there

Like a delirious madman

There, like a madman, on the dock

I see this boat, leaving

And me, and me, remaining there

My heart, which bleeds her name

My mouth, which stammers her surname

Looking at the sky in tears

And me, and me, and me, dying

My God, my God, I beg of you

Please! Let the boat return!

My love has left

There are too many farewells in the "I love you"'s

My God, my God, I beg of you

Don't leave my eyes in their sweat

Tell me, if my whore has left

Tell me why, why am I dying?

Come on Damien, drink your wine

Come on Damien, drown your sorrows

Then come back to see the nothing-girls,

Those girls, whose hearts are between their kidneys

But he, Damien, doesn't hear me

Anyone would think that he really loves sorrow

Anyone would think that he really loves staying there

There on the quay, for whores

She was called "Love"

Me, I called myself "Crying Always"

"Crying Always", there on the quay

At the cemetery of the shipwrecked

Anyone would think that Damien loves that,

Dying, dying, dying for you

Poor him, poor me

You, tell me you'll come back

One day, one day, on a quay

One day, like when we loved each other

Tell me that we'll love each other again

From these shipwrecked loves

One day, one day, on a quay

One day, like when we loved each other

Tell me that we'll love each other again

From these shipwrecked loves

Our love was Titanic

And she--her name was Medusa

And me, I don't even have a raft

And in my eyes, nothing but sobs

So I'm there on the quay

There, on the quay of castaways

I, Damien, was there on the quay

Fuck, I was on the quay

You were called Medusa

She was called. . .

She was called Medusa
