Terre
J'ai passe trop de temps sur la route
A esperer les faibles traces que tu as semees
Terre
Si tu savais combien je t'ai manque
Ces journees sans boussole, je l'ai souvent prie
Terre
Que font les amants qui se retrouvent?
Que dois-je mettre ce soir?
Un tien de parfum, de l'alcool ou du blues?
Terre
De mots doux qui tremblent et nichent partout
De silences bavards, de paupieres contre joues

Earth
I spent too much time on the road 
Hoping for the faint traces you scattered 
Earth
If you knew how much I missed you 
Those days without compass, I often prayed him 
Earth
What are doing lovers who meet again? 
What should I wear tonight? 
A part of perfume, alcohol or blues? 
Earth
Soft words shaking and nesting everywhere 
Silences that tell much, eyelids against cheeks
Et qu'importe le jeu
J'ai ce que je veux
Hisser le pavillon bleu
Car ce soir j'ai touche

No matter what the game 
I get what I want 
Haul up the blue flag 
Because tonight I touched
Terre
Terre d'asile, sur ta peau de velours
Glissent les encore et les toujours
Terre
Terre promise, les oiseaux se souviennent
De nos corps en drapeaux qui claquent et qui s'aiment
Terre
Terre de feu, sans issue de secours
Et nos braises rouges se consomment a leur tour

Earth
Sanctuary land, on your velvet skin 
Slide the again and the always 
Earth
Promised land, birds remember 
Of our bodies in flapping flags loving each other 
Earth
Land of fire, without any emergency exit 
And our red embers burn in their turn
Terre
Oubliee la mer des songes tabous

Et les secondes passent un peu plus vite chaque jour
Terre
Bien ancree sur le sol de tes charmes
J'ai laisse les etoiles guider mes bras vers ton cou

Earth
Forgotten the sea of taboo dreams 
And the seconds pass by a little faster every day 
Earth
Well anchored to the ground of your charms 
I left the stars to guide my arms to your neck
Et ton il complice
A graver sur mes reins
Plus jamais, jamais peur de rien
Car ce soir j'ai touche

And your accomplice eye 
Has carved on my back 
Never again, never afraid of anything 
Because tonight I touched
Terre
Terre d'asile, sur ta peau de velours
Aux courbures de la fin du jour
Terre
Terre brulee au langage du desir
Danse du ciel
Caresses, partage et soupirs
Terre
Terre etrangere, mais si proche pourtant
C'est ici que je veux mourir maintenant

Earth
Sanctuary land, on your velvet skin 
Curved like the end of the day 
Earth
Burned land to the language of desire 
Dance from the sky 
Caresses, sharing and sighs 
Earth
Foreign land, but so close at the same time 
It's here I want to die now
Terre
Terre d'asile, terre d'amour

Earth
Santuary land, love land
Terre
Terre sauvage, terre promise

Earth
Wild land, promised land
Terre, terre, terre
Ce soir j'ai touche terre
Terre, terre promise
Les oiseaux se souviennent
Terre, terre, terre
Terre, terre, terre

Earth, earth, earth 
Tonight I touched earth 
Earth, promised land 
Birds remember 
Earth, earth, earth 
Earth, earth, earth
