Ava
Coeur de pirate (Pirate Heart) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Ava, je sais, tu sors encore ce soir
Ses bras t'attendront dans le noir, plus forts
Qu'hier au bar

Oh, Ava, tu crées l'envie sur ton passage
Tu hurles sous tes airs de Paname, Madame
Tu aimes sans âme
Mais moi je te sens
Trembler lorsqu'il prend sans gêne son temps
Pour dire ce qu'il aime
Chez les autres qui paradent sur ta peine

Oh, l'aime si tu veux, mais son rire laisse une trace
Et, des blessures, tu peux renaître si tu t'arraches
De ses mots, de promesses, de mensonges qui blessent
Mais ne sors pas si tu souffres, mon Ava

Oh, Ava, tu relis ces mots sans relâche
De lettres de trois phrases qui t'arrachent ton âge
Tu sais qu'il est lâche

Mais Ava, il ne te prend que pour une naïve
Quand il t'embrasse, tu reprends vie
Mais lui il loue son lit

Mais moi je te sens trembler lorsqu'il prend sans gêne son temps
Pour dire ce qu'il aime
Chez les autres qui paradent sur ta peine

Oh, l'aime si tu veux, mais son rire laisse une trace
Et, des blessures, tu peux renaître si tu t'arraches




De ses mots, de promesses, de mensonges qui blessent
Mais ne sors pas si tu souffres, mon Ava

Oh, Ava I know, you're going out again tonight
His arms will be waiting for you in the dark, stronger
Than yesterday, at the bar

Oh, Ava, you arouse desire in your wake
You scream under your Parisian appearance, Madam
You love with no soul

But I feel you
Shaking when he shamelessly takes his time
To tell you what he loves
About the others who are triumphing over your sorrow

Oh, love him if you like, but his laughter leaves a mark
And you can rise from your wounds if you tear yourself
Away from his hurtful words, promises and lies
But don't go out if you're hurting, oh my Ava

Oh, Ava, you read those words over and over again
From three-sentence-long letters which tear your age off you
You know he's a coward

But Ava, he just thinks you're a fool
When he kisses you, you feel like living again
But he's really just renting his bed

But I feel you
Shaking when he shamelessly takes his time
To tell you what he loves
About the others who are triumphing over your sorrow

Oh, love him if you like, but his laughter leaves a mark
And you can rise from your wounds if you tear yourself
Away from his hurtful words, promises and lies
But don't go out if you're hurting, oh my Ava

English translation for those who might need it :)

Oh, Ava, I know you're going out again tonight
He'll be waiting for you in the dark, stronger
Than yesterday at the bar

Oh, Ava, you create desire on your way
You're screaming under your false air of Paris (class), Madame
You love without heart

But I understand you
Trembling as he takes his trouble, his time
To say what he likes
About others who display your punishment

Oh, like him, if you like, but his laugh leaves scars
And wounds you can reopen if you pull yourself away
From his words, his promises, his lies that hurt
But if you're suffering, dont go out, my dear Ava

Oh, Ava, you reread his words so tirelessly 
Messages of three sentences that tear at your age
You know its loose

But, Ava, he thinks you're naive 
When he kisses you, you feel alive again
But hes renting his bed (not staying for long)

But I understand you
Trembling as he takes his trouble, his time
To say what he likes
About others who display your punishment

Oh, like him, if you like, but his laugh leaves scars
And wounds you can reopen if you pull yourself away
From his words, his promises, his lies that hurt
But if you're suffering, dont go out, my dear Ava

@Avenging_Archer

Oh, Ava, yo sé que saldrás de nuevo esta noche
Sus brazos te esperan en la noche, más fuerte
que ayer en el bar

Oh Ava, creas envidia en tu pasar
Gritas bajo tus aires de Parisina, Madam,
Tú amas sin alma

Pero yo, te siento
temblar cuando el se toma descaradamente su tiempo
para decirte qué es lo que ama
de las otras que desfilan sobre tu pena.

Oh, ámalo si quieres, pero su risa deja huella
y de tus heridas puedes renacer, si te arrancas
de sus palabras, de sus promesas, de sus mentiras que hieren
pero no salgas si estás sufriendo, oh mi Ava.

Oh Ava, relees sus palabras una y otra vez
de esas cartas de 3 frases que te arrancaron la edad
Sabes que es un cobarde.

Pero Ava, él te toma por una ingenua
Cuando te abraza, revives
pero él, él renta su cama.

Pero yo, te siento
temblar cuando el se toma descaradamente su tiempo
para decirte qué es lo que ama
de las otras que desfilan sobre tu pena.

Oh, ámalo si quieres, pero su risa deja huella
y de tus heridas puedes renacer, si te arrancas
de sus palabras, de sus promesas, de sus mentiras que hieren
pero no salgas si estás sufriendo, mi
pero no salgas si estás sufriendo, mi Ava
Heeey, Oh Ava
Heey
Oh, Ava.
