lyrics

Come, superb cat, to my amorous heart
Hold back the talons of your paws
Let me gaze into your beautiful eyes
Of metal and agate.
In spirit, I see my woman
Her gaze, so like your own
Amiable beast.

When my fingers leisurely stroke your head
Caress your electric back
My hand tingles with pleasure to feel
Your electric body.

Viens, mon beau chat, son mon coeur amoureux
Retiens les griffes de ta patte
Et laisse-moi plongerdans tes beaux yeux
Mêlés de métal et d'agate
Je vois ma femme en esprit
Son regard, comme le tien
Aimable bête.

Profound and cold, cuts and cleaves like a dart
And from her her head to her feet
A subtle air, a dangerous perfume
Floats from her dusky body
Amiable beast
Amiable beast
Amiable beast
Aimable bête.
