Lyrics

À la fin de Septembre
Chargé d’humidité
Je m’abandon à mes pensées
Sans pentimens en vérité
Mon cerveau se fond
Dans ta bouche mensonger
Le dédain pour ta violence
Je réclame pitié
Et tu me dices
Parles moi d’amour
Settembre mi ascolta
Piovoso e instabile
Aspetto ancora il mio momento
Che presto verrà:
Un luogo nel mondo
Giusto per ingannare
La freccia che mi ucciderà
Mio capitano andiamo avanti
L’ardore dei miei sensi
Eternamente ritorna
Con severo disordine
La febbre per le membra
La voluttà finale della verità
O di un colpo di pistola?
À la fin de Septembre
Chargé d’humidité
Je m’abandon à mes pensées
Sans pentimens en vérité
Il mio io si riprende
La sua monotonia
La luce si illumina
In fondo ai viali
Aspetto ancora il mio momento
Aspettando l’inverno

Lyrics translation

At the end of September
Loaded with moisture
I give up my thoughts
Without repentance in truth
My brain melts
In your mouth lie
Contempt for your violence
I beg for mercy
And you tell me
Talk to me about love
September listens to me
Rainy and unstable
I'm still waiting for my moment
That soon will come:
A place in the world
Just to deceive
The arrow that will kill me
My captain, let's move on.
The ardor of my senses
Eternally returns
With severe disorder
Fever for limbs
The final voluptuousness of truth
Or a gunshot?
At the end of September
Loaded with moisture
I give up my thoughts
Without repentance in truth
My self recovers
Its monotony
The light illuminates
Down the avenues
I'm still waiting for my moment
Waiting for winter
