Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Je te tiens,
Chaudement dans mes bras.
Écoute la pluie qui frappe
Sur les fenêtres.
J'ai perdu
La puissance de la solitude,
L'invincibilité de l'homme sans coeur.
Maintenant j'ai peur.
À cause de toi,
Je suis faible comme dans un rêve
De la douceur de mon avenir
Avec toi.
Je te tiens,
Chaudement,
C'est mieux, n'est-ce pas?
Et au dehors il fait froid.
Pourquoi tu pars?
Chaudement dans mes bras.
Écoute la pluie qui frappe
Sur les fenêtres.
J'ai perdu
La puissance de la solitude,
L'invincibilité de l'homme sans coeur.
Maintenant j'ai peur.
À cause de toi,
Je suis faible comme dans un rêve
De la douceur de mon avenir
Avec toi.
Je te tiens,
Chaudement,
C'est mieux, n'est-ce pas?
Et au dehors il fait froid.
Pourquoi tu pars?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My very schoolboy french gives me:
I hold you Warmly in my arms Listening to the rain which beats On the windows I have lost The power of solitude The invincibility of a heartless man Now i'm scared Because of you I am weak as if in a dream Of the softness (gentleness) of my future With you. I hold you Warmly It's better, isn't it? And outdoors it's cold Why do you leave?
