Here are my thoughts on this song. I added changes to the right of what I think needed change.

Our universe
Against the current
All upside down...
Not for long!........................But not for long
When you are on Earth........When you're on Earth
Keep me informed...............Keep me current
So I imageine.................... ...So I can imagine
Our fusions.
We desire each other
Under high tension
================================================== ==============
In the next three lines I think most of us know, they broke up the word concilie (to reconcile)
They had the con as the last word of "De nerfs, je con"
and they had cilie as the first word of the line ,"cilie tes rires".
The word prises, when used with the word "electrique" following it means
electrical outlets which would seem to fit the theme of the song. It would also have somewhat of a Freudian meaning to it which is right up Mylene's alley.
So though I think
outlets was a hidden meaning, I think the other meaning works here.
For the three lines, I'd put
"No catches
of nerves, I recon................cile, the laughter"
That combines the last two lines which I think would better show in the English
subtitles, what is going on.
It uses c twice in reconcile (recconcile), but I think that will work out okay
================================================== =====================
And my electrons
A dance of life
A dance of balloons


Nothing ordinary
Nothing but good times
Head is upside-down...........Head's upside down
Not for long..........................but not for long
When you are on Earth..........When you're on Earth
Keep me informed.................keep me current.
So I guess................................so I can guess
The intentions........................your intentions
We electrify each other...........We elect
Maximal tension.......................maximum tension
The body currents.....................the body circuits
Of two lovers
We illuminate each other...........We light up
Instinctive light...........................an animal light (I'm tempted to put "an animalistic light" here which I think would fit the story well but I think it is too long)
The school of the...
...electromagnet.......................... The school of...........electromagnatism
================================================== =============================

Going through these last lines, you really have to figure out what the entire verse is trying
to say and in doing that, I came up with these changes.
Rediscover the meaning
Of life, I think
Go through the boredom......................................Going through boredome
When you, you are gone........................................when you had left
Rediscover the directions.......................................R egaining the senses (from???)
Moments that are insolent
Processions of fingers........................................... ..fingerprints (thus evidence)
Of my desire for you.
When the current passes, also the threat................. menace should be used in place of threat
Of the time that flies, the time which separates us
And the current passes, I have in me the audacity
Of the magnetic field, and that is great! Here I'm tempted to use magnifique. I think most people would know the meaning of it.
what do you think about this one?

Our universe
Against the current
Return to Earth
And for good
When you long for me
Keep me informed
So I envision...
A rebellion
We remain static
When I say no to him
No more than six...
Speeches
He makes me panic
Of electrocution
My insulator
It's passion
