Tiger, tiger, you wanna fly

Where is the time when I met you?

Now I've turned you down.

Where is the time when you were jazzing me up?

Now I've turned you down.

Refrain

Chœur lancinant : “Tiger, tiger, you wanna fly?”

Une fleur m'attend, dans un autre endroit.

Chœur lancinant :  “You don't know / where you want to go ?”

Je veux être d'autres que moi.

I thought you could be the one too

I thought we were for real too

But you loved me too much

And this wasn't enough.

Maybe I'm a blind fool

Maybe I'll be regretful

Chœur lancinant, accent anglais/américain : « les dés sont jetés »

Anyway, I've turned you down.

You were right when you warned me,

When you told me

Loneliness would kill me.

Every morning when I wake up

I feel like I'm dead inside

So let's just be confident and strive

Let's hope everything'll be different by dusk.

Refrain

Chœur lancinant : “Tiger, tiger, you wanna fly?”

Une fleur m'attend, dans un autre endroit.

Chœur lancinant :  “You don't know / where you want to go ?”

Je veux être d'autres que moi.

You were right when you warned me,

You were right when you told me

Life is a strong-box and I gotta find the key.

I know mere comfort is not.

I need to take a risk

To find the shore I seek.

I'm ready to face the storm

And I will rock the waves

For there is nothing to fear

When it's life that you're trying to unlock.
