[Lettre de "Principles Of Lust: Sadeness/Find Love/Sadeness (Reprise)"]

[Part I: Sadeness]

[Intro]
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, amen...

[Verse 1]
Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur
Attollite portas, principes, vestras
Et elevamini, portae aeternales
Et introibit rex gloriae
Quis est iste rex glorie?

[Chorus]
Sade, dis-moi...
Sade, donne-moi...

[Bridge]
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, amen...

[Verse 2]
Sade, dis-moi
Qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher ?
Le Bien par le Mal
La Vertu par le Vice ?
Sade, dis-moi
Pourquoi l'Évangile du Mal ?
Quelle est ta religion
Où sont tes fidèles ?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'Homme
Sade, es-tu diabolique ou divin ?

[Chorus]
Sade, dis-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, dis-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne-moi...
Hosanna...

[Outro]
In nomine Christi, amen...

[Part II: Find Love]

[Verse]
The Principles of Lust are easy to understand
Do what you feel, feel until the end
The Principles of Lust are burnt in your mind
Do what you want, do it until you find
Love

The Principles of Lust are easy to understand
Do what you feel, feel until the end
The Principles of Lust are burnt in your mind
Do what you want, do it until you find
Love

[Part III: Sadeness (Reprise)]

[Chorus]
Sade, dis-moi...
Sade, donne-moi...
Sade, dis-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, dis-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne-moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, dis-moi...
Hosanna...

Enigma

Enigma is a musical project founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. He recorded the first Enigma studio album, MCMXC a.D. (1990), with contributions from David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. The album remains Enigma’s biggest, helped by the international hit single, “Sadeness (Part I)”, which sold 12 million units alone.

According to Michael, the inspiration for the creation of the project came from his desire to make a kind of music that did not obey “the old rules and habits” and presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components.
