Protège Moi Lyrics
[Verse 1]
C'est le malaise du moment
L'épidémie qui s'étend
La fête est finie on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visage gris
Surgissent les fantomes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudit qu'on appelle maison
[Chorus]
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
[Verse 2]
Sommes nous les jouets du destin
Souviens toi des moments divins
Planants, éclatés au matin
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
Perdus les reves de s'aimer
Les temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
[Chorus]
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me, protect me
[Bridge]
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi de mes désirs
Protège-moi, protège-moi
[Outro]
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
(Protect me)
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

What did Placebo say about "Protège Moi"?
Speaking to Made In Paris in 2004:
This track is a waltz. So there was this little continental, Viennese atmosphere. And the French I know in London found that it sounded french. So, it was a Franco-German thing. But we didn’t make a Teuton version. Sometimes, when I sing it, I feel like Edith Piaf...
Why did Brian choose Virginie Despentes to translate the song?
We met several years ago thanks to mutual friends and we like each other. She’s a great trash artist, and that’s often what media shows, but we sometimes forgot that she’s also an excellent writer. For us, Virginie was the obvious choice. She had never done this before and, for her, it was a challe...
