Camille "Baby Carni Bird" lyrics

Baby Carni Bird

La route était barréeQuand il m'a renverséeUn soir au nord de Nice

Eblouie par les pharesJ'ai croisé son regardEt je me suis jetée

Ravale ta saliveTon orgueil de fille

Je me suis relevée et je lui ai donnéLa main qu'il me restait

Mais j'avais oubliéMon nom de jeune filleAlors j'ai inventé :

"My name is Baby Carni BirdI'm the only one in the worldI'm yoursFor I can fly up in the airAnd you can shoot me when you likeI'm yours"

Le ciel est une cimeD'où sombrent les étoilesEt nous y sommes allés

A travers le pare-briseJ'ai vu fondre les neigesDes plus hauts sommets

Mouillées ses babinesSes dents c'étaient des limesSes yeux des pièges à loup

Et ses contes de feuDe fée, de cheval fouM'empêchaient de dormir

"My name is Baby Carni BirdI'm the only one in the worldI'm your'sFor I can fly up in the airAnd you can shoot me when you likeI'm yours"

La route était barréequand on m'a retrouvéeEn sang au nord de Nice

Le ciel est une cimeD'où l'on ne revient jamais

Mais le dites pas à la policeLe dites pas à la police

Baby Carni Bird

The highway was barred offWhen he overturned meOne night, somewhere north of Nice

Dazzled by the headlightsI caught his gazeAnd plunged headlong

Swallow your breathYour girlish pride

I picked myself up and gave himMy good hand

But I could not rememberMy maiden nameAnd so I invented,

“My name is Baby Carni BirdI’m the only one in the worldI’m yoursFor I can fly up in the airAnd you can shoot me when you likeI’m yours”

The sky is a peakWhere stars expireAnd there together we drove

Through the windshieldI saw the snow meltingFrom the highest mounts

His lips were wetHis teeth were filesHis eyes were pitfalls

And his fiery talesof fays and runawaysHaunted my restless sleep“My name is Baby Carni BirdI’m the only one in the worldI’m yoursFor I can fly up in the airAnd you can shoot me when you likeI’m yours”

The highway was barred offWhen they found meIn my blood somewhere north of Nice

The sky is a summitWhence one can never return

But don’t tell the policeBut don’t tell the police
