La Religieuse - Lyrics by Bush


Lyrics
Meme a genoux, meme en priere

Elle se souvient de l'
Italie

Jesus Marie et notre Pere
C'est peu vous dire qu'elle vous oublie


Even kneeled, even in prayer
She remembers Italy
Jesus, Marie and our Father
It's little say that she's forgetting you

De l'autre cote de l'enfer

Elle se souvient d'avoir dit oui
A la passion a la lumiere
A l'amour fou a l'infini


The other side of the hell
She remembers having said yes
To passion to light
To crazy love to infinite

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
C'est encore se donner a lui

Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
C'est a peine si elle en rougit

La religieuse a comme moi

Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie

La religieuse a quelques fois

Des sanglots longs de jalousie


And praying that man on the cross
Is still giving herself to him
And when come to her those ideas
We bluh so lightly
The nun has like myself
Nights of love in nostalgia
The nun sometimes has
Tears full of jealousy

Meme a genoux meme en priere

Elle entend sa voix qui l'appelle

Elle voit des bateaux sur la mer

Elle revoit des chambres d'hotel


Even kneeled even in prayer
She's hearing his voice calling her
She's seeing boats on ocean
She's seeing hotel rooms again

De l'autre cote de ce mur

Il y a le soleil de la vie

Il y a des levres qui murmurent
A des levres assoiffees d'envie


The other side of this wall
There's the sun of life
There are lips who whisper
To lips full of desire

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
C'est encore se donner a lui

Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
C'est a peine si elle en rougit

La religieuse a comme moi

Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie

La religieuse a quelques fois

Des sanglots longs de jalousie


And praying that man on the cross
Is still giving herself to him
And when come to her those ideas
We bluh so lightly
The nun has like myself
Nights of love in nostalgia
The nun sometimes has
Tears full of jealousy

Meme a genoux meme en priere

Elle a des frissons de desir

Tellement de sorciers l'ensorcellent

Que le diable y prend du plaisir


Even kneeled even in prayer
She has chills of desire
So many sorcerers cast a spell on her
That the Evil makes fun of it

Elle a beau nouer ses cheveux

Sous une cornette anonyme

Elle ne sait pas baisser les yeux

La peur du mal l'enfeminine


Even tough she ties her hair
Under the anonymous cornet
She doesn't know how to lower her eyes
The fear of mad feminize her

Et prier cet homme sur la croix
C'est encore se donner a lui

Et quand lui viennent ces idees la
C'est a peine si elle en rougit

La religieuse a comme moi

Des nuits d'amour en nostalgie

La religieuse a quelques fois

Des sanglots longs de jalousie


And praying that man on the cross
Is still giving herself to him
And when come to her those ideas
We bluh so lightly
The nun has like myself
Nights of love in nostalgia
The nun sometimes has
Tears full of jealousy
