Ava

Oh, Ava, je sais, tu sors encore ce soir

Oh, Ava I know, you're going out again tonight

Ses bras t’attendront dans le noir, plus forts

His arms will be waiting for you in the dark, stronger

Qu’hier au bar

Than yesterday, at the bar

Oh, Ava, tu crées l’envie sur ton passage

Oh, Ava, you arouse desire in your wake

Tu hurles sous tes airs de Paname, Madame

You scream under your Parisian appearance, Madam

Tu aimes sans âme

You love with no soul

Mais moi je te sens

But I feel you

Trembler lorsqu’il prend sans gêne son temps

Shaking when he shamelessly takes his time

Pour dire ce qu’il aime

To tell you what he loves

Chez les autres qui paradent sur ta peine

About the others who are triumphing over your sorrow

Oh, l’aime si tu veux, mais son rire laisse une trace

Oh, love him if you like, but his laughter leaves a mark

Et, des blessures, tu peux renaître si tu t’arraches

And you can rise from your wounds if you tear yourself

De ses mots, de promesses, de mensonges qui blessent

Away from his hurtful words, promises and lies

Mais ne sors pas si tu souffres, mon Ava

But don't go out if you're hurting, oh my Ava

Oh, Ava, tu relis ces mots sans relâche

Oh, Ava, you read those words over and over again

De lettres de trois phrases qui t’arrachent ton âge

From three-sentence-long letters which tear your age off you

Tu sais qu’il est lâche

You know he's a coward

Mais Ava, il ne te prend que pour une naïve

But Ava, he just thinks you're a fool

Quand il t’embrasse, tu reprends vie

When he kisses you, you feel like living again

Mais lui il loue son lit

But he's really just renting his bed
