Dead Can Dance - I Am Stretched On Your Grave
I am stretched on your grave
and will lie there forever
if your hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree my brightness
it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth
and am worn by the weather
when my family thinks
that I'm safe in my bed
from night until morning
I am streteched at your head
calling out to the air
with tears hot and wild
my grief for the girl
that I loved as a child
do you remember
the night we were lost
in the shade of the blackthorn
and the chill of the frost

we did what was right
and your maiden head still
is your pillar of light
the priests and the friars
approach me in dread
because I still love you
my love and you're dead
I still would be your shelter
through rain and through storm
and with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
so I'm stretched on your grave
and will lie there forever
if you hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree my brightness
it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth
and am worn by the weather.
Dead Can Dance - Je suis étendu sur ta tombe (French translation)
Je suis étendu sur ta tombe
Et j'y reposerai pour toujours
Tes mains dans les miennes
Sûr que jamais on ne nous sépare
Mon pommier, ma lumière
Ainsi nous serions presque unis
Car je porte l'odeur de la terre
Et les marques du temps
Quand ma famille me croit
A l'abri dans mon lit
Du soir au matin
Je suis étendu ta tête contre la mienneDead Can Dance - I Am Stretched On Your Grave - http://motolyrics.com/dead-can-dance/i-am-stretched-on-your-grave-lyrics-french-translation.html
Lançant des appels au ciel
En larmes brûlantes et sauvages
Oh, je pleure la fille
Qu'enfant j'aimais déjà
Les prêtres et les moines
Me contemplent avec crainte
Car je t'aime encore
Mon amour, et tu es morte
Je veux encore être ton abri
Contre la pluie et la tempête
Et te sachant dans ta tombe froide
Je ne peux dormir au chaud
