Story behind the song
this song wouldn't let me go: it hounded me for a week until i finally sat down and completed it. translation for the chorus: "sing me (the pain, the cold, sweetly) / and i'm gone"
Lyrics
there’s a crack in my heart where you can hide away
there’s a song on my lips all your pain will allay
there’s a crack on the wall where I threw away my song
hemlock brew in my cup: poison-cure help me on
chante-moi (la douleur)
chante-moi (la froideur)
chante-moi (en douceur)
… et je m’en vais
there’s a crack in my heart, I will give you the key
there’s an ode on my tongue to sing a dark and stormy sea
there’s a hole in my head and grows every day
there’s a dream every night: it breaks the light of day
chante-moi (la douleur)
chante-moi (la froideur)
chante-moi (en douceur)
… et je m’en vais
turn it left, turn it right
under any shadow bare
everybody gets is right
when nothing isn't there
there’s a shadow come again that my hand cannot grasp
there’s a play on the screen, this chimera cannot last
there’s a chill in my heart: the crack is filled with ice
down the aisle carry me, give me coin for charon’s price
chante-moi (la douleur)
chante-moi (la froideur)
chante-moi (en douceur)
… et je m’en vais
