Lyrics

French

Enfin j'arrive à te détester et toi
Tu dis que tu m'aimes c'est trop tard maintenant
Les mots doux ou tes larmes ne me disent rien
Tu ne pourrais jamais imaginer mes souffrances

Je t'aime, je n'ai que toi, belle bêtise j'ai fait!
C'était une illusion que jamais autre fille
Nous avons promis de nous marier
Ne me dis pas que tu ne reviendras jamais

Orange, l'amour est orange
Oui nous sommes mélangeés dans un jeu d'ange
Orange, l'amour est orange
C'est dangereux, quand je finirai son jeu?

English

Finally, I was able to bring myself to hate you
And you say you love me; well, it's too late now
Sweet words and your tears do nothing for me;
You couldn't possibly understand what I've been through

"I love you" "I have nothing but you" ... what a fool I've been!
It was all just an illusion that you could never see anyone else
We promised we would be married
So don't tell me you're never coming back

Orange, love is orange
Yes, we're mixed up in a heavenly game
Orange, love is orange
It's dangerous, when will I finish this game?

Song Production Information

Orange Lounge

Anyone who grinned at the title was probably raised very well. One of their parents was probably a pretty big romanticist too. This song is definitely a song for that wonderfully moustached dandy in a far-off corner of your childhood memories. So, this song follows in the pattern of the ones before, but also feels like it's taking off somewhere else. Even the lyrics are a little scary, even ruinous. The color orange is a color of madness.

Video Production Information

HES

This was going to have a generic video at first, but we felt that the video should at least reflect the song's atmosphere, so we hurriedly put together an all-purpose work using clips from past Orange Lounge videos.

Character Information

None.
