Sœurs de miséricorde

Oh les sœurs de miséricorde, n’ont pas disparu ni sont parties
Elles m'attendaient quand je croyais ne pas pouvoir continuer
Elles m'ont consolé et ensuite m'ont apporté cette chanson
Oh j'espère que tu les as rencontrées, toi qui as si longtemps voyagé
Oui toi qui dois quitter tout ce que tu ne peux contrôler.
A commencer par ta famille, pour en revenir à ton âme.
Bien, j’ai été où tu es accroché, je crois pouvoir voir comment tu es cloué
Quand tu ne te sens pas saint, ta solitude te dit que tu as  péché
Bien,elles s'allongeaient près de moi, je me suis confessé
Elles ont touché mes yeux, et moi la rosée de leur ourlet
Si ta vie est une feuille que les saisons arrachent et condamnent
Elles t'attacheront avec un amour gracieux et vert comme une tige
Quand je suis parti elles dormaient, j'espère que tu les rencontreras
N'allume pas la lampe, tu peux lire leur adresse dans le clair de lune
Et je ne serai pas jaloux, si j'apprends qu'elles ont adouci ta nuit
Nous n'étions pas amants comme ça, et en plus ce serait encore bien
Nous n'étions pas amants comme ça, et en plus ce serait encore bien

Sisters Of Mercy 1

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right (2x).
