Someone know where i can find the translation of "je t'aime moi non plus" in
english please? The only time I heard the song in English is on Mick Harvey's
Pink Elephants. The lyrics are not printed on the sleeve, but it is sung in
English.


Hey--the lyrics in English are (according to Mick Harvey's
translation)

I love you
I love you
Oh yes I love you

Nor do I

Oh my love

Like the wave
Irresolute

I go I go and I come
Inside you my love
I go and I come
Inside you my love
And then I hold on

I love you
I love you
Oh Yes I love you

Nor do I

You are the wave
And I the naked island
You go you go and you come
you go and you come
inside me my love
and then we are one

I love you
I love you
Oh yes I love you
Nor do I

Oh my love

Like the wave irresolute

I go i go and I come
Inside you my love
I go and I come
Inside you my love
And then I hold on

(orgasms--universal, i think, in any language)

I love I love you my love
Inside me my love
I love you my love
Deep inside me my love
And then we are one

I love you
I love you
Oh yes I love

Nor do I

Oh my love

Physical love is a dead end*

I go I go and I come
Inside you my love
I go and I come
And I hold on

Now...come

(orgasms again)

*another translation says "physical love is without exit"
I think Mick Harvey's translation is good, but it is still a bit
rough. You should check out the song--Anita Lane and Nick Cave (from
the Badseeds--"red right hand")

Hope this helped!
Kim
