My not so good translation of that song from the Mozart Rock Opera.

THE GOOD THAT DOES BAD

But from whence comes
this strange emotion
which fascinates me
even as it disturbs me
stabbed by beauty, I tremble
It's as though
there's a knife in my soul
The wound crosses my heart
And the pain gives me joy
Intoxicated by the poison
I lose my reason

[Refrain]:
It's the good that does bad
When you love
It all seems normal
Your hatred
Take pleasure
It's so good to suffer
succumb to the charms
give your tears

It's the good that does bad
(that does bad)
When you love
It's an everyday occurrence
(this good that does bad)
Your pain
The true delights
pass through the torture
Lower your weapons
Give your tears
I feel
violent instincts
I have the impression
of slipping towards the bottom
If I am unaware
of where this bane comes from
I adore
to have it in my skin
bewitched by mad ideas
All of a sudden
My wants fly off
The desire has become my prison
where I lose my reason

[Refrain]

I feel
violent instincts
I have the impression
of slipping towards the bottom

Aw thanks, although French has little cachet for me. A lot of it makes intuitive sense (Spanish cognates) to me, unlike OTHER LANGUAGES THAT SHOULD NOT BE NAMED.
