Ce que j'aime, c'est le début

Beginnings of the hymen,
birth of the sirens
I have banished the «Hallihi"*
from my own paradise
In the beginning was the big-bang
Then the unknown, a bit of chaos,
the ying and the yang
There was only you, there was only me
I was Adam, you were Eve,
or vice versa
Between you and me,
it all began with a long kiss
Yes, that we know—that it all started
with a big shout of joy.
What I like is the beginning
Not the end, the end.
Then, a little bit later,
there was a flood
A big downpour rained
on our god-like ideas
We are in deep,
and there’s smoke on the water
But how do you get around
used-up happiness?
We’re like the little rabbits
in the commercial
We bang on the drum until
love runs out.
It’s too hard for it to last forever.
What I like is the beginning
Not the end, the end.
