Fleurs du Mal - Sarah Brightman

Gary (from my reservist unit) send me this song "Fleurs du Mal" by Sarah Brightman via MSN yesterday. I simply love it after hearing it for the first time. I went to HMV to hunt for the CD. There are quite a few good songs in that album.

Anyway, this Youtube version is a slight remix as it combine Gothica/Fleurs du mal instrumental/Fleurs du mal together. Hope you will like it.



Fleurs du Mal (literal trans. "The Flowers of Evil") - Sarah Brightman

Is it you I keep thinking of?
Should I feel like I do?
I’ve come to know that I miss your love
While I’m not missing you
We run
Til it’s gone
Et les fleurs du mal (translation : And flowers of the evil)
Won’t let you be
You hold the key to an open door
Will I ever be free?

Chorus:
Les fleurs du mal unfold (translation : Flowers of the evil unfold)
Comme les fleurs du mal (translation : Like the flowers of the evil)
Dark demons of my soul
Un amour fatal (translation : A fatal love)
Been tryin' hard to fight
Comme les fleurs du mal (translation : Like the flowers of the evil)
Les fleurs du mal inside (translation : Flowers of the evil inside)
Un amour fatal (translation : A fatal love)

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 (translation : For the flowers of the evil)
I’ve lost my way
What is done will return again
Will I ever be free?

(Repeat chorus)

Les fleurs du mal (translation : Flowers of the evil)
Comme les fleurs du mal (translation : Like the flowers of the evil)
Un amour fatal (translation : A fatal love)
Comme les fleurs du mal (translation : Like the flowers of the evil)

(Repeat chorus)

I did a search for the meaning of Fleurs du mal.

Extract from Wikipedia :
"Les Fleurs du mal (literal trans. "The Flowers of Evil") is a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. First published in 1857, it was important in the symbolist and modernist movements. The subject matter of these poems deals with themes relating to decadence and eroticism.

The initial publication of the book was arranged in five thematically segregated sections:

Spleen et Idéal (Spleen and Ideal)
Fleurs du mal (Flowers of Evil)
Révolte (Revolt)
Le Vin (Wine)
La Mort (Death)"

How Interesting. Enjoy.
