LITERAL TRANSLATION
*** UNOFFICIAL ***
Intro: Who huh ... hah doh hey hA-li-zée
Who is this [fool] who teases .... take-off ...
Melancholy is in my bad books
Even in my bed, without a computer
A spiral staircase of dreams
Spiral, in a spiral
To pack his bags for an invitation
To choose the outfit according to inspiration
I leave with a blast and that's the detonation
Detonation, a detonation
You understand it when my man is bad
One kiss and I clear off [run away]
It's phenomenal good fortune
Destination, a destination
To withdraw for a voyage
Board [food] in capital letters
To take-off [hiding with-]in a shell
An evasion,
It's an evasion
Falling back for a take-off, without altitude,
I disappear inside my shell,
with certainty
Without returning to my departure points
Search for a star for a date
To stop-over at my constellation
Constellation, constellation
At ease in my armoured bubble
Sadness doesn't belong
This air sickness is tireless.
Take care, take care
Recharged when I leave there
At his sides, I feel myself down there
His glance gives me
Palpitation, some palpitations
Come embrace me in your petals
My mother-of-pearl skin, your pearl sleeps
I come into it when the angels sleep
Situation, it's the situation
Refrain
When my shell is at the trough of the wave
You could only cry a milligram
Tinker Bell is my only co-pilot
It's from my bubble that one puts it into effect
On the inside I am the antidote
Everything will unfold, as we had
Planned. Aeroplane? But it's not a 'plane
Like a 'plane, but [with the] wings of a bird
Falling back for a take-off, without altitude,
I disappear inside my shell,
with certainty
Refrain x2
Outro:
no landing even if you're [a] wise...
ass

Oxmo 2: Qui huh ... hah doh hey hA-li-zéeCe qui ce con qui tease .... décollage ...
La mélancolie dans le collimateur
Même dans mon lit, sans ordinateur
Escalier de rêves en colimaçon
Colimaçon, en colimaçon
Faire ses bagages pour l’invitation
Choisir le maillot d’après l’inspiration
Je pars d’un souffle et c’est la détonation 3
Détonation, une détonation
Tu l’entends quand mon homme est mal
Un baiser et je prends le large,
C’est le filon phénoménal
Destination, une destination
Se retirer pour un voyage
Le vivre en lettres capitales
Prendre l’envol en coquillage
Une évasion,
C’est une évasion
Retomber pour un décollage, sans altitude,
Je m’échappe dans mon coquillage,
par certitude
Sans revenir à mes points de départ
Cherche une étoile pour un rancard
Faire une escale dans ma constellation
Constellation, constellation
A l'aise dans ma bulle à carapace
La tristesse n’a pas sa place
Ce mal de l’air est inlassable
Faites attention, faites attention,
Rechargée quand je sors de là
A ses cotés, on me sent là-bas
Son regard me donne le la 4
Palpitation, des palpitations
Viens m’enlacer dans tes pétales
Ma peau de nacre, ta perle dort 5
J’y entre quand les anges dorment
Situation, c’est la situation
Refrain
Quand ma coquille est au creux de la vague
Tu ne pourras pleurer qu’un milligramme
La fée clochette est ma seule copilote
C’est de ma bulle que l’on passe à l’action
A l’intérieur je suis l’antidote
Tout va se dérouler, comme nous l’avions
Prévu. L’avion ? Mais ce n’est pas un avion
Comme un avion, mais les ailes d’un oiseau
Décollage, sans altitude,
Je m’échappe dans mon coquillage,
par certitude
Refrain x2
Oxmo :
pas d’atterrissage même si t’es sage ...

Intro: Who huh ... hah doh hey hA-li-zée
Who's come to tease .... then take-off ...
Lie melancholy wonder what's the matter
What's wrong with me, songs on computer
Steps a way to dream in spiralling on
Spiralling on, inspiring my song
His sack to pack for invitation
Choose to wear his own prepared inspiration
Departing so fast that's love's detonation
Detonation, in detonation
You understand my kind of man
One kiss I fly no less damage
Good luck feeling phenomenal
Destination, a destination
Not here to stay foreign baggage
Living on heart's capital
Wandering star close to the edge
An evasion,
It's an evasion
Fall away failing take-off now, wrong altitude,
My escape inside free somehow,
I'm sure it's true
No turning back made my point to depart
Search for a heart a brighter star
Fair wind I sail by my constellation
Constellation, constellation
At ease here no bullet can get past
No sadness no pass at last
This dizzy air I'm feeling grey
Pay attention, pay attention
Max power play when I get away
Stay by his side, deep down I may
See he regards me in that way
Palpitation, some palpitations
Come bring me into your embrace
Mother-of-pearl, your pearl adore
See angels sleep open the door
Situation, such a situation
Refrain
Inside I feel low want highs to come back
You couldn't cry for me but one milligram
I feel close by my fairy flies aloft
She pulls me through what has passed to carry on
All that I feel is my saving shot
To see it play this way like some clarion
Anew. Carry on? Wings are clipped can't carry on
Become carrion, try to fly down we go
Take-off now, wrong altitude,
My escape inside free somehow,
I'm sure it's true
Refrain x2
Outro:
neither runway light nor second sight...
