Cover art for Dernier Lit lyrics by Émilie Simon

Here's the literal translation, though it's a bit rough. I really like the sound effects in the background, light and cheery like bubbles. The song gives a very happy feeling though it talks about death, like the woman had a very fulfilling and joyous life, and welcomes Death like a lover, with open arms.

Laying on her bed, dreaming, she smiles The old woman once alluring is losing her life For sure tonight it’s her last bed Tomorrow for sure will be without her Death whispers to her to wear laces It’s a good omen for the Eternal Death whispers to her her song/ritornello

She lies down a white glass of absinthe in her hand Her lover waits for his missing one for tomorrow For sure tonight it’s her last bed

Tomorrow for sure will be without her Death whispers to her « you are so beautiful » In the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit Close your eyelids, join the night
