[EN] Taulard - Dans la roche : lyrics translation

Hi everybody, this will be the second time I translate a song from the Band Taulard, 4 piece band from Grenoble, France. Actually the texts are really cool and I sometimes can relate to them a lot, and this is why I chose to pick another song from them in order to share it with the english-speaking community.

The song is called "Dans la roche" (In stone) and deals with the mistakes that can be made in a couple when you don't want the same things but still try to selfishly get them.

It can be related on a smaller scale to all these times we forget to think about our loved one as a person who has his own will and interests, and that he doesn't only exist to interact with us.





French Lyrics :

depuis des mois qu’on s’embrassait
j’étais impatient de coucher avec toi
après un temps t’as accepté
par la suite t’en demandais bien moins que moi
ça ne m’est jamais venu à l’esprit
que tu n’approuves plus ce qu’on faisait la
dès lors que tu l’avais consenti
je pensais que c’était ok à chaque fois

ton nom est gravé dans la roche
quand est-ce que tu reviendras?
je t’aimais mais je t’ai pas respectée
quand est-ce qu’on se reverra?
ton nom est inscrit sur l’écorce
reviendras-tu dans ces bois?
je t’aimais et j’ai tout fait foirer
quand est ce qu’on se reverra?

maintenant en y réfléchissant `
je comprends mieux ce qui t’a poussé à partir
j’ai mal agi sexuellement
en insistant quand c'était pas nécessaire
après le bac t’as déménagé
depuis des mois déjà t’étais froide et distante
mes abus m’ont été révélés
j’en avais vraiment pas conscience

Translated Lyrics : 

We had been kissing for months
All I wanted was sex with you
After some time you yielded
But clearly wanted it less than I did
It never came across my mind
That you couldn't agree with what we were doing
Since you had said yes one time
Seemed like it was ok everytime


Your name is now set in stone
Will you ever come back ?
I loved you but showed no respect
Will I ever see you again ?
Your name is now carved in the wood
Will you ever come back in those woods ?
I loved you but destroyed everything
Will I ever see you again ?


Now I start to realize
And I understand what made you leave
I have been such a prick
My insistance was unhealthy
After the end of school you moved
For months you had been cold and distant
My flaws now all have been exposed
If only I had known better
