Edited Nest Scene

I've only seen the USA version of this film, and apparently there were some edits made in regards to the scene where Sylvain and Airelle are in the nest together. I've always noticed that Sylvain's shirt magically disappears during this sequence, without any shots of it being removed, so I'm guessing that the scene edited out happens immediately after the dinosaur leaves the two of them together in the nest. These edits were apparently made due to the scene being a bit sexual, but I can't imagine that it was deserving of being cut. For those who have seen the original French version of Gandahar, could you explain what happens in the scene that was cut for American audiences?

Also, is there anywhere I can hear the original soundtrack from the French version?

They realize why the dinosaur-like creature attacked the convoy. it was a female that thought it was her eggs and they considered syl and airelle as her cubs.
In short, after that they talk a bit about the metal men (IIRC), in the buff, while looking at the stars, in the night, then they embrace (both nude) and kiss each other... and we don't see much else, of course (it's left to the imagination).
That's what I remember, I've seen it recently tho.
