Meaning of Hozier - Take Me to Church (Traduction Française) lyrics by Genius Traductions françaises

The song "Take Me to Church" by Hozier, translated to French in this version, is a powerful commentary on religion, love, and sexuality. The first verse describes the singer's lover, who has a sense of humor and laughs during a funeral. She knows the disapproval of others, and the singer regrets not honoring her sooner. The next lines speak to the Sunday ritual becoming darker and more poisonous each week, with a sense of hopelessness about being born sick. The singer's "church" doesn't offer absolutes, and he suggests that worship happens in the bedroom. The only paradise he desires is to be alone with his lover.

The chorus repeats the plea to be taken to the church, where the singer will worship his lover like a dog and confess his sins, allowing her to sharpen her knife. He wants an immortal death and begs God to let him give his life to his lover.

The second verse picks up with the idea that if the singer is a pagan, his lover is his sunlight. She orders a sacrifice, and the singer and his congregation are hungry for something consistent and substantial. The chorus repeats again with the same sense of desperation and devotion.

The final lines address the idea that there are no masters or kings when the ritual begins, and that there is no innocence sweeter than their gentle sin. Amidst the madness and dirt of the world, the singer will only be human when he is redeemed through his love for his partner. The repeated "Amen" is a plea for divine approval for their love. Overall, the song seems to critique organized religion and traditional ideas of sexuality while celebrating the power of love and devotion between two people.
