Éblouie par la nuit [English translation]

Been blinded by the night of fatal flashes,

Grazing filthy rooms, eyes like pinheads.

A hundred years I waited for you,

On the streets of black and white.

You came whistling.

Been blinded by the night of fatal flashes,

Smokin’ beasties, whoring like a sailor.

If I’ve lost my mind over it,

I’ve loved you and worse still,

You came whistling.

Been blinded by the night of fatal flashes,

Should you love life, or just see it pass by?

Of our stoned-out nights,

Almost nothing’s left

In the morning, but ashes.

This train’s full of life’s temptations;

At the next station, Euroman,

Put your hand, drop it below my heart.

Been blinded by the night of fatal flashes,

One last lap, with death at the end.

A hundred years I waited for you,

On the streets of black and white.

You came whistling.
