Suzanne [English translation]

Suzanne takes you away

To listen to sirenes

She takes you by the hand

To spend a night without ending

You know that she's half crazy

That is why you want to stay

On a silver plate

She serves you jasmin tea

And when you want to tell her

You don't have no love for her

She calls you in her waves

And lets the sea answer

That you have always loved her

You want to stay by her side

Now you are not afraid to travel

eyes closed

A flame burns in your heart

He was a sinner

Came to earth

Who has looked after very long

From his lonely tower

When he realized

That only the lost men saw him

He said that we will wander

until the waves free us

But he himself was broken

Long before the sky opens

Forsaken and almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom

Like a stone

You want to stay by his side

Now you are not afraid to travel

eyes closed

A flame burns in your heart

Suzanne takes you away

To listen to sirenes

She takes you by the hand

To spend a night without ending

Like honey the sun is pouring

On the Notre Dame of Tears

She shows you where to look

Among the garbage and the flowers

In the seaweed there are dreams

Children in early morning

Who are leaning towards love

They are leaning that way forever

And Suzanne holds the mirror

You want to stay by her side

Now you are not afraid to travel

eyes closed

A strange wound in the heart
