Revenge of the flowers
par Françoise Hardy

Le parfum sucré de vos roses s´évapore
Et moi je compose
Vous ne m´aurez jamais donné
Que le baiser du condamné
These flowers in your sweet hand is
Just how I would feel to you
If you could only touch me now
Just a ghostly paper sigh
Till you kiss me back to life
I´m soon to breathe the roses bloom
{Refrain, x2}
A thousand kisses say goodbye
And then they say you´ll never die
A lonely fanfare blew
And then they sing to you
All your flowers fill my room
And sing to me their happy tune
Like nature´s flowers destined to die
A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly
{au Refrain}
My lips are open wide
Stretched so far apart
Searching for that last kiss
With my hands pressed tight to my heart
A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly
{au Refrain}
