[English]

He has the right to put his hands on your body

He has the right to breathe in your scent

He even has the right to that look that makes him stronger

And I feel the warmth of your voice in my heart

And it hurts, believe me

A blade, piercing deep into my soul

Look inside yourself, not even a tear

And I am still bleeding

I smile at death

All this red on my body

I hurt you in one last effort

He likes to caress your face when you fall asleep

And you allow yourself to say "again, again"

I know what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

But for me, I am already dead

And it hurts, believe me

A blade, stabbing deep into my soul

Look inside yourself

Not even a tear

And I am still bleeding

I smile at death

All this red on my body

I hurt you in one last effort

But I am still bleeding

I smile at death

But I am still bleeding

All this red on my body

All this red on my body

All this red on my body

...

[French]

Il a le droit de poser ses mains sur ton corps

Il a le droit de respirer ton odeur

Il a même droit au regard qui le rend plus fort

Et moi la chaleur de ta voix dans le cœur

Et ça fait mal, crois-moi

Une lame, enfoncée loin dans mon âme

Regarde en toi, même pas l'ombre d'une larme

Et je saigne encore

Je souris à la mort

Tout ce rouge sur mon corps

Je te blesse dans un dernier effort

Il aime caresser ton visage quand tu t'endors

Et toi tu te permets de dire "encore, encore"

Je sais que ce qui ne tue pas nous rend plus fort

Mais moi, mais moi je suis déjà mort

Et ça fait mal, crois-moi

Une lame, enfoncée loin dans mon âme

Regarde en toi

Même pas l'ombre d'une larme

Et je saigne encore

Je souris à la mort

Tout ce rouge sur mon corps

Je te blesse dans un dernier effort

Mais je saigne encore

Je souris à la mort

Mais je saigne encore

Tout ce rouge sur mon corps

Tout ce rouge sur mon corps

Tout ce rouge sur mon corps
