Rabbits and Birds

Lyrics

You know, stranger things
Sometimes happen to us
In the center of silence
In the middle of peace:
Uninvited she came
A six-feet tall lady!
Look-alike of a rabbit
Staring eyes, trembling ears
Hasty moves of a rabbit
She came scarily near
Provoked something…
He feared…

L´amour est un oiseau rebelle
A deux visages: blanc et noir
Pour cet instant il semble bel
Brutal et cruel un peu plus tard
Je vous en prie: ce jeu sans moi!

As he bowed to his shoes
Wings came near, tender wings
They reminded him faintly
Of love, lost in the ice
Hot feelings, deep scars
He was moved, yes, but why?
From the heat of a duchess,
Who reminded a rabbit?
Could it really be love
Bird of paradise, that
Provoked something
He feared….

L´amour est un oiseau rebel
A deux visages: blanc et noir
Pour cet instant il semble bel
Brutal et cruel un peu plus tard
Je vous en prie: ce jeu sans moi!

He was really inclined
To let the bird land
What a shock in the end
As it clearly turned out:
The bird was a vulture!
The foul vulture of lust
Not gilded by love
Hence he ran to his King:
The Crown sent him to Stambul
And he happily flew
Provoked by something
He feared…

L´amour est un oiseau rebel
A deux visages: blanc et noir
Pour cet instant il semble bel
Brutal et cruel un peu plus tard
Je vous en prie: ce jeu sans moi!
