Des silhouettes sans visage des visages inconnus
Une fenêtre qui donne sur la cour
On ne voit pas le ciel mais la cage d'escalier
Le rendez-vous de 5h pile
Chaque soir, elle sonne au 3èm à la même heure
Apprêtée les cheveux lâchés
Il l'attend derrière la poussière des careaux
La lumière filtre leur corps à corps
Les voilà qui dansent
En ombres chinoises
Leur ombres dessinent
Siamoises
Des encres de chine
Des papillons noirs
Qui battent de l'aile
Le temps passe et laisse sa trace indélébile
Les heures filent les amants sont lasses
Mais s'ils ne dansent plus comme des papillons noirs
Le souvenir nourrit leur histoire
Chinese shadows
Silhouettes shadows and faded faces gones
The window an overhead screen
No view of the sky only the stairs between
The lovers meeting time is happening
Every night she comes and she rings behind the door
Beautifull her hair free and down
He's waiting for her and just can't get no more
Darkness surronds in the mirror
Now there are dancing
Chinese shadows
The light is drawing
Siamese
The black butterflies
Blow away, vanish
They're flying away
Time escapes just let an indelible trace
Hours gone (the) lovers are tired
They didn't dance anymore like black butterflies
The desire disappears for grace
