Many thanks to severine for this. my french isnt good enough to punctuate what she sent, so here it is verbatim. no accents, as I cant work out how to do them in a way that reads nicely for ev

Dy.

Hello, (hello, hello...) /

Immergee dans la nuit de lave /

Etoile filante et nue sans entraves /

Dans le chaos / se tord setire / et se dehanche /

Luisant dans sa tenue elastique /

Et je tombe patatras / dans la vapeur super-tropicale /

Je suis celui qui te bois et qui te devore /

Ou tu veux, / quand tu veux? /

Ces petits seins pharaoniques /

Dansant comme des balles de plastiques /

Tracent des huits, des hierogliphes /

Sur ma cervelle en ebulition /

Et soudain jentends crier les lions /

Les noirs jaguars et les gibbons mignons /

Jentends claquer / larmee des fouets /

La, / tout pres / dans la foret /

[sarah & etienne duet for the chorus:]

La jungle / de temps dehors /

La jungle / in and out /

Je pulse / et pulse encore /

Je pulse / in and out /

Garde / par les phares /

Empoisonne / du soleil noire /

Je pulse et pulse encore /

Durbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr. /

Cest le moment de la fusino /

Toutes les hormones en communication /

Dans le magma interlope /

En aveugle nyctalope /

Colles au plaf roulant des pelles /

Nous prenont feu eternelle /

Dans un halo blanc / electrique /

Dans un frisson / pre-orgastique /

[sarah & etienne duet for the chorus:]

La jungle / de temps dehors /

La jungle / in and out /

Je pulse / et pulse encore /

Je pulse / in and out /

Farde / par les tares /

Empoisonne / du soleil noire /

Je pulse et pulse encore

[sarah & etienne duet for the chorus:]

La jungle / de temps dehors /

La jungle / in and out /

Je pulse / et pulse encore /

Je pulse / in and out /

Garde / par les phares /

Empoisonne / du soleil noire /

Je pulse et pulse encore /

Durbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr, /

Badurbba durbba duhr.

[here is a translation into english by lisa munns (thanks, lisa) who disclaims: "these are not word-for-word, in some cases a little of my own interpretation has been added. Ive tried to make them make sense as much as is possible. the verb "pulser", which is what I presume "je pulse" comes from is not in my large dictionary. I think maybe it is something like "thrust" as the 2nd verse in primarily about sex and the chorus contains the words "in and out"......any help? also, Im really not sure about that starred line, the verse says "colles au plaf...", which is a shortening of a word beginning with "plaf..", and I dont know what it is, so I took it to be ceiling....."]

Moving in the night of lava/ lava night

Shotting stars and darkness without hindrance

In the chaos, twisting and stretching, and swaying/wiggling your hips

Shiny in your stretchy clothing

And I fall, crashing, into the tropical air

I am that which you drink and that you devour

Where do you want it, when do you want it?

These little pharaonic ("pharaoh like") breasts

Dance like plastic balls

Tracing figure-of-eights, hierogliphics

On my brain, excited/ feverish

And I suddenly hear the lions roar

The black jaguars (ie panthers) and cute gibbons

I hear cracking, the army of whips

There, nearby, in the forest

Chorus

The jungle-of limitless time

The jungle-in and out

I thrust, and thrust again

I thrust, in and out

Guarded by the lights

Poisoned by the black sun

I thrust, and thrust again

Its the moment of merging/ fusion

All hormones in communication

In the mixed-up jumble

Blinded by night-vision

*glued to the ceiling, rolling by the dozen* - I am highly unsure about

This translation!

We take the eternal flame

In a circle of light, electric

In a pre-orgasmic shudder
