Lavie en Rose

Mayonaka wo kirisakidoresu hikisaku
Koe wo ageteshiri wo agete
Suitsuku you na hada niyubi suberaseba
Tsumetaku korutokomekami hajiku.

Yasumono kootoeri wo tate
Hikizuru you nihikizurarete yuku.

Jinsei wa baraironante subarashii
Jinsei wa baraironante hakanai no deshou ne.

Genzu buuruame dou dadabishonure no marii
Hadashii no mariiitoshii mariiruu
Roji uranoranekoore wa yume mita
Asu ga hoshii toomae ga hoshii to.

Jitan no kemurikara no botoru
Hibiwareta koenaru you ni nare.

Jinsei wa baraironante subarashii
Jinsei wa barairomarude yume miteiru mitai ne.

Jinsei wa baraironante subarashii
Jinsei wa baraironante hakanai no deshou ne
Jinsei wa baraironante subarashiir
Jinsei wa barairomarude yume miteiru mitai ne.

Translation

Tearing through midnight, tearing your dress off
Lift up your voice, lift up your ass
Sliding my fingers on your sticky skin
I snap the cold Colt against my temple*.

I pull up the collar of my trashy coat
I'm seduced as if I'm the seducer.

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful**
Life is rose colored, and oh, it's so short.

Gainsbourg's rain falls do-da-da onto my wet Marie***
Barefoot Marie, my beloved Marilou
A stray cat down a back alley, I dreamed
That I wanted tomorrow, that I wanted you.

The Gitanes smoke, time cut short, the empty bottle****
My voiced cracks—just let it be.

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and it's just as if we're dreaming.

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and oh, it's so short
Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and it's just as if we're dreaming.
