Complainte De La Butte Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
La lune trop blme
Pose un diadme
Sur tes cheveux roux
La lune trop rousse
De gloire clabousse
Ton jupon plein trous
La lune trop ple
Caresse l'opale
De tes yeux blass
Princesse de la rue
Soit la bienvenue
Dans mon coeur bless
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings
Of the moulin
Shelter you and I
Petite mandigotte
Je sens ta menotte
Qui cherche ma main
Je sens ta poitrine
Et ta taille fine
J'oublie mon chagrin
Je sens sur tes lvres
Une odeur de fivre
De gosse mal nourrie
Et sous ta caresse
Je sens une ivresse
Qui m'anantit
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings
Of the moulin
Shelter you and I
Mais voil qu'elle trotte
La lune qu'il flotte
La princesse aussi
La la la la la
La la la la la
Mon rve vanoui
Les escaliers de la butte
Sont durs aux misreux
Les ailes des moulins
Protgent les amoureux
