Tu me tues [English translation]

I like playing the nuisance and you the ingenuous one

That's what we liked at the start

So we had to carefully get rid of

The herds of censors who want to see me hang

And the clusters of leeches attached to your heart

It was quite arduous but we had passion

We praised each other to the skies, to the bottom of escalators

[Refrain:]

When you're there, you kill me

When you're not there, I die

Are you a hallucination

Or a mild delusion?

But the spring of flowers didn't last long

You could say that you had me in colour

Thanks to you I have seen every pain

Your destructive melodramas and my hammer blows1

Your corrupt gossiping and your boxer friends

When the forbidden fruit is put through the mixer

That gives a strange juice a bitter liqueur

[Refrain:]

When you're there, you kill me

When you're not there, it kills me

Are you a hallucination?

Just a bad dream?

What more do you need?

Do you want me to cry?

To drag myself along your road?

To cover you in flowers?

And then what next?

Me, I'm repairing my heart

By stroking the asses

Of my sisters of little virtue

But of great worth

[Refrain:]

When you're there, you kill me

When you're not there, I die

Are you a hallucination

Or a mild delusion?

When you're there, you kill me

When you're not there, it kills me

Are you a hallucination?

Just a bad dream?

When you're there, it kills me

Are you a hallucination?

Just a bad dream?

When you're not there, I die

Are you a hallucination?

Just a bad dream?
