May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
May the magic of love proceed, and may...
Before it starts, I'd rather warn you
We have no chance, we have no future
Everything is on the table, at least you're set
No false start, no restless heart
On the side of the road, I don't wanna commit
I've always only trusted in doubting
And when my time comes, I never would have believed it
Decimating love before seeing it
And when I hold chula against my body I have regrets
Everything won't happen in dark bars and parties
But you know chula all the records on the radio
If they talk about the heart, it's lies for idiots
But all of a sudden, between us, I want
everything to turn sweet (love)
May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
May the magic of love proceed
And may you be the most handsome on Earth (love)
Laughing just like in trashy shows (trashy shows)
Slow dancing with you all summer long (all summer long)
May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
Don't worry about me, I know this little game
I don't look like it but I know what I want
We're on the same page, I'm not going grow attached
Only scream more after your spanking
I want to be able to tell myself that I'm not that dumb
That I did good by enjoying* without giving in
And when my time comes, I never would have believed it
Decimating love before seeing it
And when I hold chula against my body I have regrets
Everything won't happen in dark bars and parties
But you know chula all the records on the radio
If they talk about the heart, it's lies for idiots
But all of a sudden, between us, I want
everything to turn sweet (Love)
May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
May the magic of love proceed
And may you be the most handsome on Earth (love)
Laughing just like in trashy shows (trashy shows)
Slow dancing with you all summer long (all summer long)
May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
But you know chula all the records on the radio
If they talk about the heart, it's lies for idiots
But you know chula all the records on the radio
If they talk about the heart, it's lies for idiots
Lies for idiots
But all of a sudden, between us, I want
everything to turn sweet (Love)
May the magic of love proceed
And may our adventure be the last
May the magic of love proceed
And may you be the most handsome on Earth (love)
Laughing just like in trashy shows (trashy shows)
Slow dancing with you all summer long (all summer long)
May the magic of love proceed

* this line plays on the double meaning of the word "jouir" in French, which can mean both enjoying something (outdated) and more commonly having an orgasm.

'Décimer l'amour' pour moi c'est assez clair - critiquer l'amour et son existence même, dire ne jamais vouloir s'engager ni se donner à une personne, considérer l'amour comme un tissu d'inepties et de 'mensonges pour les idiots', et donc se conforter dans des relations sans attaches ni lendemains comme celle décrite dans la chanson... sans pour autant jamais avoir réellement connu l'amour. L'amour que la personne découvre auprès de cette autre qui lui était interdite puisque la relation n'était que purement physique.
Pour le reste cependant, j'ai eu un peu de mal à traduire, oui... le 'passera' signifiait d'abord pour moi l'idée de tolérer, dans l'expression 'Ça passe'. Un peu comme si tout ne pourrait pas être permis pour toujours sous le couvert des bars sombres et des soirées, et qu'un jour il faudrait assumer cette relation. Mais faute de certitude, j'ai préféré aller vers le sens de 'se passer'...
