Saint Sebastien Lyrics in English BB Brunes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saint Sebastien by BB Brunes from French to English.
Dans l'abeille essaim
In the bee swarm
D'un night-club abyssin
Of an Abyssinian nightclub
Ses étiques seins
Her skinny breasts
Pointent sous un Yves saint
Point under a Yves Saint
Un temps le beau fixe
A time the beautiful fixed
Son regard Onyx
Her Onyx gaze
Sur ces deux soleils
On these two suns
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Un nu de Toussaint
A Toussaint nude
Revêtu de son seing
Clothed in her sign
Bouge son bassin
Moves her hips
Sur basson et clavecin
To bassoon and harpsichord
Les ondes du Styx
The waves of the Styx
Sous H, sous X
Under H, under X
De l'or aux oreilles
Gold in the ears
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Le jardin est ceint
The garden is surrounded
De rosiers assassins
By assassin rosebushes
Absurde dessein
Absurd design
D'en sortir sauf et sain
To get out safe and sound
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
Blanche nuit blanche nuit
White night white night
Les pistes sont noires à Paris
The tracks are black in Paris
Chacun fait ce qui lui plaît
Everyone does what they like
