Rufus Wainwright - Complainte De La Butte English translation lyrics

Your rating:

The Lamount of the mound

The very pallid moon rests a diadem on your red hair
The very red moon splashes your pierced skirt with glory
The very pale moon caresses the opal of your indifferent eyes
Princess from the street be the most welcome in my broken heart

Chorus:
The stairways up to La Butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
Shelter you and I 

My sweet Mandigotte i can feel your hand searching for mine
I can feel your breast and your thin waist, I forget my sorrow
I feel on your lips a taste of fever of underfed kid
And on your caress i can fell a trance which annhiliates me

The stairways up to La Butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
Shelter you and I 

Here she goes she trots the floating moon a princess also
Lalalalala lalalalala
My radiant dreams

The stairways up to La Butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
Shelter you and I

Complainte De La Butte

La lune trop blême, pose un diadème, sur tes cheveux roux
La lune trop rousse, de gloire éclabousse, ton jupon plein d'trous
La lune trop pâle, caresse l'opale, de tes yeux blasés
Princesse de la rue, soit la bienvenue dans mon coeur brisé

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh,
While windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I

Ma p'tite mandigote, je sens ta menotte qui cherche ma main
Je sens ta poitrine, et ta taille fine, j'oublie mon chagrin
Je sens sur tes lèvres une odeur de fièvre
De gosse mal nourri et sous ta caresse je sens une ivresse qui m'anéantit

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh,
While windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I

Mais voilà qu'elle trotte, la lune se flotte
La princesse aussi, mon rêve évanoui

Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux,
Les ailes des moulins protégent les amoureux
