Translation of Les Plaisirs Démodés from French to English
In the familiar noise of the trendy box
Under psychedelic glows with curious decorum
We discover, sitting on uncomfortable chairs
The latest pop records, turned up to the max
That's where we met among those of our age
You dressed as an Indian and me in a Mao collar
We have been coming back ever since, like on a pilgrimage
Dancing in the smoke that could be cut with a knife
Come, let's discover you and me
The outdated pleasures
Your heart against my heart despite the crazy rhythms
I want to feel my body embraced by yours
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Come, drowned in the crowd, but dissociated from the noise
As if on Earth there was only us
Let's slide with half-closed eyes until the end of the night
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
On the crowded dance floor, it's a rare spectacle
The dancers are in a trance and with the music helping
They seem to be sacrificing to barbaric rhythms
To tunes of today often old as time
Strangers to each other even though dancing together
The couples are struggling, it seems that for them
Music and love do not go hand in hand
In this darkness conducive to lovers
Come, let's discover you and me the outdated pleasures
Your heart against my heart despite the crazy rhythms
I want to feel my body embraced by yours
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Come, drowned in the crowd, but dissociated from the noise
As if on Earth there was only us
Let's slide with half-closed eyes until the end of the night
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Hey
Hold me even tighter
Don't worry about the others
We're good like this, your cheek against my cheek
Do you remember
It feels strange, we feel like we're dancing like our parents
In the end, they might not have been completely wrong
Times change
Love remains
Come on
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh, mmh-mmh
