RIP
RIP
A bimbo1 scare
On the dance floor she lands
Causes a slaughter
I'm preaching to a choir girl
With a RIP tatoo
Life flies by as fast as an angel
You and me
would be heavens
The days go by, I remain2
Wait for Epiphany
but I hear only weeping,
suspended sorrows3
Altos sound like minor
I hear Epistrophy4
I wait for the day to die
Everything goes when night falls.
Under the orange light
I wait for my delivery
An explosive mix
No more no-way streets5
Just a boulevard6
RIP
I can already feel my legs buckling
You and me
would be heavens
The days go by, I remain
Wait for Epiphany
but I hear only weeping,
suspended sorrows
Altos sound like minor
I hear Epistrophy
I wait for the day to die
Everything goes when night falls.
- 1. play on "bombe" : bomb / bimbo
- 2. from Apollinaire's "le pont Mirabeau"
- 3. play on "peine" : sorrow / sentence
- 4. a jazz standard
- 5. a rather cliché pun on the literal meaning of "sens interdit" : "forbidden senses" as in "forbidden sensual pleasure"
- 6. this can also mean "a lot of latitude to do whatever you want"

The lyrics do not make much sense in French to begin with.
Besides, they are full of typos and grammar errors.

Oh I'm so sorry about that, i didn't realize... :( I'll try and find a better set of lyrics and repost them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for translating them anyway :)
