Translation of L'abandon from French to English
The sun in autumn, indulgent
Naked skins give themselves to the warm winds
Over there the tempos seem
To beat to the lazy rhythm of time
Surrender, everything is learned
Caresses of the waves to the warm currents
The soft sand, beautiful and tender lover
Over there the infinite dances
Mix us and love loves life
Surrender, it's learned, nature initiates here
We already know these moments
The sun had prepared that
The surrender very small
The islands initiate to love here
We already know these rhythms
The fires from below, this lascivious state
The heat and the wind
Oh very gently my island teaches me
Rum softens men's arms
Laughter to women, to girls, to bursts
Velvet nights down here
The same in Panama, the same in Cuba
Love is hungry for you and vice versa
Body to body, lover soldiers
Pleasure in these burning battles
Everything here, the water, the climate
Everything is desire, there is no escape
Surrender, everything is learned
In the dances and children's games
We already know these moments
The sun had prepared that
The surrender very small
The islands initiate to love here
We already know these rhythms
The fires from below, this lascivious state
The heat and the wind
Oh very gently my island teaches me
We already know these moments
The sun had prepared that
The surrender very small
The islands initiate to love here
We already know these rhythms
The fires from below, this lascivious state
The heat and the wind
Oh very gently my island teaches me
A step from you, a step from me
The basins stick and move quietly
Everything is learned, the surrender
I go where you go and even beyond
All against you, the lawless night
That the moment lifts us and that's it
The moment, this moment
Nothing is more important than that
We already know these moments
The sun had prepared that
The heat and the wind
Oh very gently my island teaches me
(My island teaches me)
(My island teaches me)
