C'Etait Salement Romantique

Tu es plus facile à faire qu'à comprendre Et tombée je n'ai pas pu te prendre Partie trop loin de toi J'ai voulu te manquer à tes yeux feindre d'exister

Et au sud de mes peines j'ai volé loin de toi Pour couvrir mon cœur d'une cire plus noire Que tous les regards lancés à mon égard J'ai tenté de voler loin de toi J'ai tenté de voler loin de toi

Tu fus plus facile à suivre Dans la ville qui sevint notre plus grande fuite Et moi étendue dans ce lit Je contemple ce que je t'ai donné de ma vie

Et au sud de mes peines j'ai volé loin de toi Pour couvrir mon cœur d'une cire plus noire Que tous le regards lancés à mon égard J'ai tenté de voler loin de toi J'ai tenté de voler loin de toi

Forgive my english... anyone up for translating? I can't understand a word she's singing but its entranced me none the less :)

Here is a rough translation:

You are easier to do than understand And fallen I could not take you Gone far away from you I wanted to be missed; in your eyes pretend to exist

And south of my woes I flew far away from you To cover my heart of an even blacker wax Than all the looks thrown my way I tried to fly far away from you I tried to fly far away from you

You were easier to follow In the city that became our greatest escape And I, lying on this bed I contemplate what I gave you of my life

And south of my woes I flew far away from you To cover my heart of an even blacker wax Than all the looks thrown my way I tried to fly far away from you I tried to fly far away from you

Rough translation:

You are easier to make to understand And fallen I could not take to you Parted too far from you I wanted to miss you in your eyes pretending to exist

And in the south of my sorrows I flew far from you To cover my heart in a blacker wax That all glances launched in my connection I tried to fly far from you I tried to fly far from you

You were easier to follow In the city which ??? our greater escape And me extended in this bed I contemplate what I t' gave of my life

And in the south of my sorrows I flew far from you To cover my heart in a blacker wax That all glances launched in my connection I tried to fly far from you I tried to fly far from you

Basically, from the rough translations, this song is about an unrequited love. This person gave his or her heart into the relationship(or lack of) only to be pushed aside. And so, the person copes by shunning his or her heart.

Also, "C'était salement romantique" means "It was so goddamn romantic!"
