Une nuit je m'endors avec lui
Mais je sais qu'on nous l'interdit
Et je sens la fivre qui me mord
Sans que j'aie l'ombre d'un remords
Et l'aurore m'apporte le sommeil
Je ne veux pas qu'arrive le soleil
Quand je prends sa tte entre mes mains
Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Strands of light upon a bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another skin
Breathing out as he is breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my love ever be the same?

Et je me demande
Si cet amour aura un lendemain
Quand je suis loin de lui
Quand je suis loin de lui
Je n'ai plus vraiment toute ma tte
Et je ne suis plus d'ici
Oh! Je ne suis plus d'ici
Je ressens la pluie d'une autre plante
I should have told him
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

Quand il me serre tout contre lui
Quand je sens que j'entre dans sa vie
Je prie pour que le destin m'en sorte
Je prie pour que le diable m'emporte
Et l'angoisse me montre son visage
Elle me force parler son langage
Mais quand je prends sa tte entre mes mains
Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flow
Turned the key

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
