THE ORIGIN OF LOVE
video clip from the musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"

A French translation:
"When the earth was flat
That clouds glowed
The mountains reached to the sky And
sometimes even higher
People roamed the Earth
As big barrels
With two pairs of arms
Two pairs of legs
Two faces emerging from a giant head
Allowing them to see everywhere
While speaking, while reading
And they knew nothing about love
was before the origin of love
There were three sexes then
One was like two men glued back to back
They were called the children of the Sun
Similar in shape and girth Were
children of the Earth
Two girls that do that entwined
The children of the moon
was a fork down in a spoon
A little sun, a little Earth
A little girl, a little son
The origins of love
The gods were frightened
Of our strength and our arroganceThor said:
"I'll kill them with my hammer like I killed the giants"
"No," replied Zeus
"Let me use my lightning like scissors
I already lost whales legs
Transformed dinosaurs into lizards" It took some
éclairsIl laughed
And said: "I will separate into two couperLes"
The cluster dark clouds turned
In fireballs
Who sprang from the sky as lightning
gleaming knife blades
Who tranchèrent chairDes the children of the Sun
From the Moon and Earth
And Indian god sewed the
lambeauxEt nombrilPour a format that we remember the price paid
So Osiris
And the gods of the Nile
gathered storm
Who unleashed a hurricane We scan
In a stream of wind
In a tidal wave
We take
And if it was not wise
They would overlap
And there we hopped on one foot
With one eye to look
The last time I saw you
It was separated into two
You looked at me
I watched you
You seem so familiar
But you were unrecognizable
The blood covering your face
was blood in the eye
But I knew by your expression That
suffering of your soul
Was the same as mine
That pain
She digs a straight line
Through the heart
It's called love
We hugged
For encrusted again
We made love
It was a cold dark evening
so long ago
by the powerful hand of Jupiter
It is a sad story
one that has made us bipeds solitary
is the story of the origins of love "
