Alain Bashung - Madame rêve (English translation)

English

Translation

Madame dream

Madame dream of atomisers

And cylinders so long

They are the only ones

That fill her with happiness

Madame dream of artifice

Of oblong forms

And totems that punish her

Dream of archipelagos

Of perpetual waves

Seismic and sensual

Of a love that guns her down

Of a rocket that pins her up

In Heaven

One is far from lovers faraway

One is far

Madame dream freely

As if it were all as it is

In your prayers

That imprison and liberate you

Madame dream of weightlessness

Of hours of the hours

Of aerial stunts again and again

Dream of ferns

Of lightning and wars

To make and remake

Of a love that guns her down

Of a rocket that pins her up

In Heaven

One is far from lovers faraway

One is far

Madame dream

In Heaven

Madame dream

In Heaven

Madame dream
