Apprends Moi

Apprends-moi
Les petites choses
Des couleurs que tu portes, au noir de ton cafe

Apprends-moi
Ce qui te repose
Tes envies et tes fautes avouees
...('Envie' could mean 'desire' too, but I used the negative emotion, because it appears in the same line as 'fautes')

Apprends-moi
Avec ton sourire
Tes manies, tes causes
Tes phobies, tes secrets

Apprends-moi
Ce que tu desires
En douces phrases et baisers sucres

Et dans mes reves
J'ai si souvent prie,
Ou tu voudras, ou tu pourras,
...(lit.: Where you will want, ... , but I think this is how it should be translated)
...Wherever you go, I will go
...Read [upon] my lips
...Come a little bit closer
...So you can teach me about you, without ever forgetting

Apprends-moi
Rien que ce qui compte
...(Lit.: nothing but what matters)
...These mad laughs that we venture
...Since the world is deaf (after all)

Apprends-moi
Apprends-moi
Que rien d'autre ne compte
Que ces serments fideles
D'un jour
...(Lit.: of one day)

Apprends-moi
Le temps des delices
Ces puits d'ivresse neuve
Ces actes sans recours

Apprends-moi
Apprends-moi
L'art du sacrifice
Qu'on est plus vivant
Quand on meurt d'amour

Que je m'apprenne dans toi,
jusqu'au dernier secret

Apprends-moi...
Apprends-moi tes sourires
Apprends-moi tes desirs Apprends-moi
Apprends-moi tes phobies
Apprends-moi tes manies Apprends-moi
Apprends-moi tes secrets

English

Teach me

...Teach me
...(about) The little things,
...About the colours that you wear, with the black of your coffee

...Teach me
...(about) what gives you rest
...Your envies en your [admitted] faults

...Teach me
...With your smile
...Your manias, your reasons
...Your fears, your secrets

...Teach me
...(about that) What you long for
...In soft phrases and sugared kisses

...And in my dreams
...I prayed so often
...Wherever you want, wherever you could,
ou tu iras, j'irai
Lis sur mes levres
Approche un peu plus pres,
Que tu m'apprennes toi, sans jamais oublier
...(I guess what is meant is 'so I will never forget')

...Teach me
...Only that what matters
Ces rires fous qu'on ose
Puisque le monde est sourd

...Teach me
...Teach me
...That nothing else matters
...But these faithful promises
...We made one day

...Teach me
...These times of delight
...These wells of new extasy (lit.: intoxication, drunkeness)
...These irremediable acts

...Teach me
...Teach me
...The art of sacrifice
...That one is more alive
...When one dies from love

...That I can learn myself in you
...Until the (very) last secret

...Teach me
...Teach me your smiles
...Teach me your desires, teach me
...Teach me your fears
...Teach me your manias, teach me
...Teach me your secrets
