Nocturne Dyad
The clock forgets the hour.
La nuit descend.
Stay close, ne me réponds pas.
Your hands are
cold
against the glass.
Dans le silence, je dérive.
I hear the room
begin to breathe.
Bass:
Sous la peau.
Tenor:
Under the light.
Soprano:
Au bord de toi.
Tenor: We disappear tonight.
Turn the dark on,
slowly. Fais monter la
lumière. We are electric,
barely. Nos ombres dansent
dans l'air. Hold me nearer,
don't explain. La nuit revient,
encore.
Three voices through the
windowpane. We leave the door
ajar.
Tenor:
No names, pas de promesses.
Soprano:
Je glisse où tu me laisses.
Tenor:
The pulse is underneath.
Soprano:
La fièvre dans la nuit.
Bass: Still.
Tenor: Breathe.
Soprano: Brille.
I was a signal in the blue.
Un éclat perdu sur tes joues.
The metal sky is opening.
Écoute
— the current coming through.
Turn the dark on,
slowly. Fais monter la
lumière. We are electric,
barely. Nos ombres dansent
dans l'air.
Higher now,
plus près, plus fort.
The room is filling with electricity.
Encore, encore, until the dawn.
Stay awake with me.
The clock
forgets the hour. La nuit descend.
Stay close.
Reste là.
