En noir, paroles chantées par Antony

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there’s a charm that is greater still :
When my love’s eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there’s a charm that is greater still :
When my love’s eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

Dull flame
I see the full flame of desire
I see the dull flame
I see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there’s a charm that is greater still :
When my love’s eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
Through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

Dull flame
I see the full flame of
I see the dull flame
I see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there’s a charm that is greater still :
When my love’s eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss

Through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

And through the
Downcast lashes
I see the
Dull flame
Of
Desire

Dull Flame of Desire

Septembre 2008

5ème single de Volta

Morceau en duo avec Anohni

Paroles tirées d’un poème de Fyodor Tyutchev (1803-1873), telles qu’elles figurent dans le film Stalker d’Andreï Tarkovski (1979).


« Other new songs have their own convoluted stories. Björk visited Jamaica with Antony Hegarty, the brooding-voiced lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons, to record a lovers’ duet with lyrics from a poem by Fyodor Tyutchev, The Dull Flame of Desire. They sang together, improvising back and forth, for a full day ; then Björk edited their duet into a smoldering seven-minute drama, worked up a brass arrangement and decided to set the whole thing to an electronic beat. » The New York Times
