Monday poetry train - Bain de vapeur
Mes vêtements joncent le sol/My clothes are on the floor
Je suis à nue/ I'm bared naked
Mais personne ne possedera ce soir/ But no one will posses me tonight
Sauf cette eau/ Except this water
Qui se faufile dans les moindres replis de ma peau/That slip in each fold of my skin
Qui caresse le creu de mes hanches/ That caress the creek of my hips
Qui me plonge dans un état comateux/ Drown me in that comatic state
La chaleur de cette eau/ The heat of this water
Me couvre de sa douceur/ Surounds me with its gentleness
LEs vapeurs odirifiques/ Those odirific vapors
Me rappelle le goût des fraises/ Recall me of the taste of strawberries
Sur le rebord de tes lèvres/ On the edge of your lips
Mais dans un instant/ But in a moment
Tous ces sentiments/ All those emotions
S'évaderont/ Will escape
Avec l'eau qui s'enfuira/ With the water that will run
Dans le tuyau d'écoulement/ Down the drain
Je suis à nue/ I'm bared naked
Mais personne ne possedera ce soir/ But no one will posses me tonight
Sauf cette eau/ Except this water
Qui se faufile dans les moindres replis de ma peau/That slip in each fold of my skin
Qui caresse le creu de mes hanches/ That caress the creek of my hips
Qui me plonge dans un état comateux/ Drown me in that comatic state
La chaleur de cette eau/ The heat of this water
Me couvre de sa douceur/ Surounds me with its gentleness
LEs vapeurs odirifiques/ Those odirific vapors
Me rappelle le goût des fraises/ Recall me of the taste of strawberries
Sur le rebord de tes lèvres/ On the edge of your lips
Mais dans un instant/ But in a moment
Tous ces sentiments/ All those emotions
S'évaderont/ Will escape
Avec l'eau qui s'enfuira/ With the water that will run
Dans le tuyau d'écoulement/ Down the drain
