[Verse 1]
Les soleils couchants
Revêtent les champs
Les canaux, la ville entière
D'hyacinthe et d'or
Le monde s'endort
Dans une chaude lumière
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté
Luxe, calme et volupté
Took a taxi with Jean last night
It was late and it was raining
We live far away from each other
And there was no desire
I think it was more the dark night
Or some lonely feeling

[Chorus]
When we got home, we were alone
We fell in love with that feeling
When we got home, we were alone
We fell in love with that feeling

[Verse 2]
Rain since Tuesday
Barely found my way to the shop
For the milk in the morning
And the news of the world had turned around
Then I heard you calling
Saw you turn the darkened corner
Then you were gone
[Chorus][x3]

[Outro]
The setting suns
Adorn the fields
The canals, the whole city
With hyacinth and gold
The world falls asleep
In a warm glow of light
There all is order and beauty
Luxury, peace, and pleasure
