"The Fall" lyrics

And of course true love is exceptional
Two or three times a century more or less
The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom
As for me in any case I was not the Portuguese nun

I am not hard-hearted
I am far from it
Full of pity on the contrary
And with a ready tear to boot

Only my emotional impulses
Always turn towards me

And my feelings of pity concern me
But it's not true after all that I've never loved
I conceived at least one great love in my life
Of which I always was the object

From that point of view
After the inevitable hardships of youth
I was early focused
Sensuality alone dominated my love life

I looked merely for objects
Of pleasure and conquest
