[English]
Yes, it's a no-man's land
Yes, it's the end of the world
There are traps and ramparts
I planted bombs
Yes, it's your turn to play
You'll have to search
Where are the breaches in the wall
The tears under the armor
But if you still come
If you still come
I leave the light on
Let love guide you
Yes, it's a fortress
But you know there's no rush
It takes skill
To reach
The gates of pleasure
But if you still come
If you still come
I leave the light on
Let love guide you
If you're slow to come
If you're slow to come
I let your hands wander
In the forests, the valleys
Fly, fly away
Come land there
Near the still water
At the top of my stockings
Steal, yes, steal from me
What I hid there
Like a treasure
At the top of my stockings
And if you come again
If you come again
I leave the light on
Don't stay outside
And if you leave one day
If you leave one day
I won't hold you back
I'll come in my turn
...
