Lyrics
Je n’ai pas eu le temps de faire le tour de sa terre,
Avec lui s’est échappée même la lumière,
Inconsciemment je l’appelle du bout de mes lèvres,
Comme un enfant recherche la force de son père.
Dire que pour lui j'étais devenue infaillible,
Mon idéal, lui toute ma raison de vivre;
Ideali, tu m’as trahie.
Le temps a voulu rire de moi de ma fièvre,
L’orgueil s’est emparé de toutes mes colères,
J’ai fait’semblant, j’ai maquillé mes angoisses,
Pour m’isoler parmi des gens de sa race.
Qu’est-il devenu, je n’en sais rien et je m’en vante,
Je me réfugie loin de ses yeux qui me hantent;
Ideali, j’ai rien compris.
Ideali Ideali, quand le soir se rebranche,
Je m’enfonce je suis souffrante.
Quand sa violence jouait’sur moi l’innocence,
Je me protégeais par cet amour si intense,
Je le comprenais, je lui suis restée fidèle,
Même à présent je voudrais la clé de cet enfer.
Je le revois glisser à travers mon ombre,
Je le crie si fort, mais toujours pas de réponse,
Ideali, tu m’as trahie.
Lyrics translation
I didn't have time to go around his land,
With him even the light escaped,
Unconsciously I call him from the tip of my lips,
As a child seeks the strength of his father.
To say that for him I had become infallible,
My ideal, he all my reason to live;
Ideali, you betrayed me.
Time wanted to laugh at me from my fever,
Pride has seized all my anger,
I pretended, I made up my anxieties,
To isolate myself among people of his race.
What happened, I do not know anything and I boast,
I take refuge away from his haunting eyes;
Ideali, I didn't understand.
Ideali Ideali, when the evening reconnects,
I'm sinking. I'm suffering.
When his violence played upon me innocence,
I protected myself with this intense love,
I understood him, I stayed true to him,
Even now I want the key to this hell.
I see him again sliding through my shadow,
I shout it so loud, but still no answer,
Ideali, you betrayed me.
