Translation of Le désert from French to English
She lived in the desert
They called her the witch
And in your lonely heart
She made the thunder roar
You loved her in a flash
She turned off the lights
And you felt the earth
Slip away entirely
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Is not made for-
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
Your heart, she will damage
She gave you a sleeping pill
She said, "you, my adversary"
"I'm going to turn you into a crater"
"Covered with flowers and limestone"
You were her new moon
She turned herself into a lagoon
And covered you with foam
That was all her fortune
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Is not made for-
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
Your heart, she will damage
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Forget her, forget her
Is not made for you
You left the atmosphere
And like a stellar diamond
You orbit around the earth
She wrinkled you, the rider
She holds the reins, she accelerates
Then she veers towards England
You land in a cemetery
Covered with roses and heather
Come on, let's go to war
She pulled out her revolver
You shot her in the dust
Feel how your heart accelerates
On her neck, a hollyhock
Tattooed with transient ink
You, the blood, she the artery
You irrigate her entirely
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Is not made for-
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
Your heart, she will damage
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
It seems that, in the desert
Incendiary flowers are born
Like these solar islands
Made of sulfur and iron
And you, the solitary dreamer
Take this salutary advice
If you want to taste them, free
In you, the song of the murderers
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Is not made for-
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
Your heart, she will damage
(Forget her, forget her)
(That girl)
(Forget her, forget her)
(Your heart, she will damage)
Forget her, forget her
That girl
Is not made for-
Forget her, forget her
Your heart, she will damage
Your heart, she will damage
