La Décadanse Lyrics

[Serge:] Tourne-toi!
[Jane:] Non
[Serge:] Contre moi
[Jane:] Non! Pas comm'ça
[Serge:] ...et danse
La décadanse...
Bouge tes reins
Lentement
devant les miens
[Jane:] Reste là
Derrièr' moi
Balance
La décadanse
Que tes mains
Frôlent mes seins
Et mon coeur
Qui est le tien
[Serge:] Mon amour
De toujours
Patience
La décadanse
Sous mes doigts
T'emmènera
Vers de lointains au-delà
[Jane:] Des eaux troubles
Soudain troublent
Mes sens
La décadanse
M'a perdue
Ah, tu me tues
Mon amour, dis m'aimes-tu?
[Serge:] Je t'aimais
Déjà mais
Nuance
La décadanse
Plus encore
Que notre mort
Lie nos âmes et nos corps
[Jane:] Dieux Pardo-
Nnez nos offenses
La décadanse
A bercé
Nos corps blasés
Et nos âmes égarées
[Serge:] Dieux!
Pardonnez nos offenses
La décadanse
A bercé
Nos corps blasés
Et nos âmes égarées

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
