(Françoise Hardy/Didier Makaga/Malcolm McLaren)

Le parfum sucré de vos roses s'évapore et moi, je compose.
Vous ne m'aurez jamais donné que le baiser du condamné.
These flowers in your sweet hand is just how I would feel to you
If you could only touch me now.
Just a ghostly paper sigh till you kiss me back to life
I'm soon to breathe the roses bloom.

A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.
A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.

All your flowers fill my room and sing to me their happy tune
Like nature's flowers destined to die.
A thousand hungry flowers, loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly.

A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.
A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.

My lips are open wide, stretched so far apart
Searching for that last kiss with my hands pressed tight to my heart.
A thousand hungry flowers loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly.

A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.
A thousand kisses say goodbye and then, they say you'll never die.
A lonely fanfare blew and then they sing to you.
