Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi
Comme une pieuvre dans un gros bac chinois
À voir ta gueule ce matin je te crois
J'ai bien fait de penser très fort à toi
J'ai envoyé des chansons dans les airs
En espérant qu'un pigeon voyageur
Te les chanterait par jour ou noirceur
Jusqu'à ce que tu reviennes par ici

Ne me raconte plus jamais de salades
Dis-moi toujours quand tu te sens malade
J'ai une épaule bourrée de pouvoirs
Il paraît qu'elle aide à pleurer dans le noir
Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi
Comme une pieuvre dans un gros bac chinois
À voir c'matin les bobos sur tes bras
J'ai bien fait de penser très fort à toi

Que nous soyons amis ou amoureux
Mais maintenant nos cœurs battent à deux
Je te comprends beaucoup plus que tu crois
Alors s'il te plaît la prochaine fois appelle-moi
Enfin aujourd'hui te revoilà
À voir les cicatrices sur tes bras
J'ai bien fait de penser très fort à toi

Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi
Comme une pieuvre dans un gros bac chinois
à voir c'matin les bobos sur tes bras
J'ai bien fait de penser très fort à toi
Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi...
Le collier que tu m'avais fabriqué
Hier à cinq heures moins quart s'est brisé
Que s'est-il passé à cinq heures moins quart
Probablement qu'on te voulait du mal

Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi
Comme une pieuvre dans un gros bac chinois
À voir c'matin les bobos sur tes bras
J'ai bien fait de penser très fort à toi

Selon moi, la meilleure chanson à vie de Jean Leloup...Je n'ai rien d'autre à dire que magnifique!!!! Tout simplement magnifique et recherché! Ça me rend nostalgique...mais c'est tellement bon...

My Interpretation
For any english-speaking fans... "Sang d'encre" is the name the for the ink pouch of an octopus or squid, and is a french term denoting one who's sick with worry or panicked. This is a heartbreaking song about unconditional love. The protagonist in this song is in love with a junkie, and pleads with her to come back to his place and clean up, even if she's not in love with him anymore. Les francophones, dis-moi si j'ai fait des erreurs en traduction; mon francais n'est pas parfait! I've made myself into an ink cloud over you, like an octopus would if trapped in a bowl. After I saw your face this morning, I believe that I should think very hard about you. I set sent some songs on the wind hoping that a messenger pigeon would sing them to you day and night until you came back here (back here, back here). Don't talk to me any more about salad, tell me every time you feel sick. I've got shoulders padded with strength, they might help when you're crying in the dark (in the dark). I've made myself into an ink cloud over you, like an octopus would if trapped in a bowl. After seeing the wounds on your arms this morning I'm glad I've kept you on my mind. Whether we're friends or lovers, our hearts now beat in unison. I understand you better than you think, so next time, please call me (call me, call me). You finally came back today to show me the scars on your arms. I'm glad I've kept you on my mind. I've made myself [sick with worry] over you. I've made myself into an ink cloud over you, like an octopus would if trapped in a bowl. After seeing the wounds on your arms this morning, I'm glad I've kept you on my mind. I've made myself [sick with worry] over you... The necklace that you made for me broke at 4:45 yesterday. What happened at 4:45? You probably wanted to do yourself harm. I've made myself into an ink cloud over you, like an octopus would if trapped in a bowl. After seeing the wounds on your arms this morning, I'm glad I've kept you on my mind.

hello, your translation is very good. yes "sang d'encre" is a french term to show how we can worry about somebody. when blood turns to dark beacause of lot of care and orrying.

i just wanted to tell you or give more accuracy about some words.

"Je me suis fait un sang d'encre pour toi
Comme une pieuvre dans un gros bac chinois
ï¿½ voir ta gueule ce matin je te crois
J'ai bien fait de penser trï¿½s fort ï¿½ toi"

The third it's : to see your face this morning, i believe you.
i was right to thinking hard about you.

when he sings "ne me raconte plus jamais de salades" it means dont never tell me lies anymore". salade means "salad" yes but it is too a slang term who means "lie".

about his shoulders strenght is correct. when he says "pouvoirs" i think about "magic powers".

And it is : Somebody probably wanted to do yourself harm.
It says that he thinks that when is necklace broke, it's the sign than somebody was mean with the "you" of the song.

I'm French and discovered Leloup when I was traveling in the QuÃ©bec. It's one of the best lyricist I know. He's not famous at all in France and I look like a retard when i play his songs in party or anywhere, people dont get it. it's too bad. this man is some serious shit.
