Blonde
Guesch Patti Lyrics
S'éveille-telle en lui
Déloge l'homme en lui
Un ange vole
Un ange vole
...Beau...
Se love-t-elle en lui
Furtive elle en lui
Un homme change
Un homme change
...Etrange...
Parfait mélange
S'échange -t-il d'aile en elle
Un homme sombre change en elle
Un ange bombe
Un ange blonde
...Dérange...
Doux... parfait mélange...
Sexe d'un ange

I disagree strongly with this translation; it's too literal and off-tone, too removed from the overall image, and lacking in poetic continuity. It ignores other, more harmonic synonyms and shades of meaning. Here's my approximation:
She awakes within him,
displaces the man in him:
An angel flies
An angel flies
Gorgeous
She coils within him,
furtively within him,
A man transforms
A man transforms
Extraordinary
Perfect blend
He trades his wings for hers
A shadowy man transforms in her
An angel bursts forth
A blond angel
Free
Gentle… a perfect blend
Sex with an angel

@DukeStreetBill fantastic! thank you

@sirvidia The verb "lover" means to coil, as with rope. "Se lover" can mean to curl up (of course, "se love-t-elle" puts the verb into the feminine third person); but in that she's about to open out forcefully (like a bomb), having her coil seems more appropriate. Sorry for the lateness; I happened by accidentally.

Yours is MUCH better. Glad I looked at the comments and saw this. When it read "angelic bomb".. I thought that has to be the wrong or very poor translation! Thank you for giving much more meaning, flow, and poetry!
sirvidia
I always struggle with the line "Se love-t-elle en lui". What's the verb that you get 'coil' from?
DukeStreetBill
@DukeStreetBill On much later reflection, I'd change the last line to "Angel sex!"

Beautiful..painfully delicately beautiful. I just watched the Pillow Book and this song stuck with me.
