Eurovision 2017 France:
Alma - "Requiem"
Requiem
Des amours meurent, des amours naissent
Les siècles passent et disparaissent
Ce que tu crois être la mort
C'est une saison et rien de plus
Un jour lassé de cette errance
Tu t'en iras, quelle importance
Car la terre tournera encore
Même quand nous ne tournerons plus
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi danser jusqu'à ce que le temps nous reprenne
Ce qu'il a donné
Will you take me to paradise?
With you nothing ever dies
You take my smile and make it bright
Before the night erase the light
I won't go below silver skies
The only dark is in your eyes
On pleure mais on survit quand même
C'est la beauté du requiem
Les étincelles deviennent des flammes
Les petites filles deviennent des femmes
Ce que tu crois être l'amour
C'est un brasier et rien de plus
Nos déchirures, nos déchéances
On pense qu'elles ont de l'importance
Mais demain renaîtra le jour
Comme si nous n'avions pas vécu
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi danser jusqu'à ce que le temps nous reprenne
Ce qu'il a donné
Will you take me to paradise?
With you nothing ever dies
You take my smile and make it bright
Before the night erase the light
I won't go below silver skies
The only dark is in your eyes
On pleure mais on survit quand même
C'est la beauté du requiem
Des amours naissent, des amours meurent
Ce soir enfin je n'ai plus peur
Je sais que je t'aimerai encore
Quand la terre ne tournera plus
Des amours naissent, des amours meurent
Ce soir enfin je n'ai plus peur
Je sais que je t'aimerai encore
Quand la terre ne tournera plus
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem
Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Fais-moi danser jusqu'à ce que le temps nous reprenne
Ce qu'il a donné
Embrasse-moi, tell me that you love me
Embrasse-moi
Embrasse-moi, tell me that you love me
Embrаsѕe-moi
Requiem
Love dies, love is born
Centuries pass and disappear
What you believe is dead
Is a season and nothing more
One weary day of this wandering
You will go, what does it matter
Because the world will turn again
Even we we don't turn anymore
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me smile in the middle of a requiem
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me dance until the time comes again
What he gave
Will you take me to paradise?
With you nothing ever dies
You take my smile and make it bright
Before the night erase the light
I won't go below silver skies
The only dark is in your eyes
We cry but we still survive
That's the beauty of the requiem
The sparks become flames
The little girls become women
What you think is death
Is an inferno and nothing more
Our rips, our declines
We think that they have importance
But tomorrow the day will be reborn
Like if we had not lived
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me smile in the middle of a requiem
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me dance until the time comes again
What he gave
Will you take me to paradise?
With you nothing ever dies
You take my smile and make it bright
Before the night erase the light
I won't go below silver skies
The only dark is in your eyes
We cry but we still survive
That's the beauty of the requiem
Love is born, love dies
Tonight I'm finally not afraid
I know that I will love again
When the world doesn't turn anymore
Love is born, love dies
Tonight I'm finally not afraid
I know that I will love again
When the world doesn't turn anymore
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me smile in the middle of a requiem
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Make me dance until the time comes again
What he gave
Kiss me, tell me that you love me
Kiss me
Kiss me, tell me thаt you love me
Kisѕ me
