Chorus:
Les fleurs du mal unfold
[The flowers of evil unfold]
Comme les fleurs du mal
[Like the flowers of evil]
Dark demons of my soul
Un amour fatal
[A fatal love]
Been tryin' hard to fight
Comme les fleurs du mal
Les fleurs du mal inside
Un amour fatal
All my life I've been waiting for
In this perfume of pain
To forget when I needed more
Of love's endless refrain
We live
And we pray
Pour les fleurs du mal
[For the flowers of evil]
I've lost my way
What is done will return again
Will I ever be free?
(Repeat chorus)
Les fleurs du mal
Comme les fleurs du mal
Un amour fatal
Comme les fleurs du mal
(Repeat chorus)
Music: F. Peterson, T. Schwarz, M. Meissner, M. Himmelsbach
Lyrics: K. Hirschburger, S. Brightman
From:
Symphony (2008)
and: Symphony: Live in Vienna (2008).
Source of the lyrics: the official Sarah Brightman website [thanks also to Johanna Ouwerling].
The translation of the few words French are mine.
Note that Les Fleurs du Mal (1857) is also the title of Charles Baudelaire's (1821-1867) most famous book with poems. It caused a schandal when it was published, as it portraits the human suffering, which is only ended by death; an escape into dissolution, narcotics and alcohol offer no solace.
