Genius English Translations
Angèle - Insomnies (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
I didn't see the night coming or the shadows passing by
They told me that this one's for advice, if only I was asleep
4:00 in the morning, this music doesn't sound familiar
And I close my eyes, it's already tomorrow
I've tried in vain
[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting too long for sleep makes me tired
The sleepless night offers me its dark thoughts and emptiness
Obscured in the daylight, illuminated in the night
Insomnia (Insomnia), insomnia
[Chorus]
Insomnia, the city sleeps, I see the shadows like bodies
Insomnia as a backdrop and from here everything seems dead
[Verse 2]
Tonight I'm not here
I'm gone, I'm walking around
And I'm cold in Paris
Its magic, its anxieties
A few tears away from you
I tell myself it wasn't him, it wasn't me
Grey skies, thunderstorms
A few claws survive us behind your back
That was the last time
[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting too long for sleep makes me tired
The sleepless night offers me its dark thoughts and emptiness
Obscured in the daylight, illuminated in the night
Insomnia (Insomnia), insomnia
[Chorus]
Insomnia, the city sleeps, I see the shadows like bodies
Insomnia as a backdrop and from here everything seems dead
Insomnia, the city sleeps, I'm lonely, everything seems dead
Insomnia, until dawn, even a nightmare would be worth its weight in gold
[Verse 3]
So I'm thinking, but what am I thinking?
I think I'm not assuming
I think too much in these cases
And I think badly
I'm thinking, but I'm thinking about what
I don't think I'm assuming
I think too much in these cases
And I think badly, so badly, so badly
[Chorus]
Insomnia, the city sleeps, I see the shadows like bodies
Insomnia as a backdrop and from here everything seems dead
