In the asleep town

Everything is being deleted around me
When the town falls asleep.
I only live for you
When the town falls asleep.
 
All these walls
Overburdened by the roofs
Are only a scenery
And the unnamed streets
That we liked
Don't live any more.
 
In the asleep town
In the asleep town
Where I am still awake
 
Silence follows me
When the town falls asleep.
I'd like people to be out at night
When the town falls asleep.
 
There is only
The shadow of your arms
And of your body
And the echo of your voice
That is resonant in me
louder and louder.
 
In the asleep town
In the asleep town
Where I am still awake
 
~ ~
 
Your love isn't
What you think.
It's only a scenery
But a day will come
When you'll know
How to love me with more intensity.
 
In your asleep heart
In your heart which forgets me
Where I'm still wide awake,
Where I'm still wide awake,
Where I'm still wide awake.

Merci Alain.
Je voudrais peupler la nuit > I'd like people to be again in the streets at night ??
Je voudrais peupler la nuit > I would like to populate the night

bonjour,
effectivement, on peut traduire comme celà si on respecte le texte au mot près
mais j'ai voulu rendre le texte un peu plus vivant tout en conservant le sens.
Amitiés.

À mon avis, un vers trop long détruit le rythme de la chanson entière.
