L’archet et la lyre
Je sais ce qui aurait pu être
Et ce que je n’étais jamais pour toi
Mais, pour moi, tu es comme une croix
Et mon esprit est en feu
Et je suis à ta merci
Pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas juste nous y abandonner
Une fois un oiseau, sur la terre,
a pénétré dans mon âme
Et m’a dit que par la grâce de Dieu
Je connaîtrai l’amour
Bien que je passe mes journées seul
Ça m’arrive par vagues
Tu me chuchotes
Qu’on sera aux champs elysées
Nous serons éternels
Comme l’archet et la lyre
Et nous regarderons la mer pendant la nuit
Et nous écouterons les vagues
Et le matin
Il y aura un nouveau ciel
J'aurais pu perdre mon chemin
Et tu m’as guidé au Port
Où les bateaux sont tranquilles
Je peux voir les oiseaux
Se reflètant sur l’eau
Les gens parlent, rient
Les tables à l’ombre
Le soleil fait des ombres de cristal
Je peux les entendre
Les vagues caressent les murs du port
Les volets ferment, les lumières sur le chemin brillent
Dans une cérémonie
De bleu céruléen
Tu es tout ce dont j’ai besoin
Tu me guides, loin de la tempête
où le soleil fait des ombres de cristal.
I know what I could have been
And what I was never for you
But, to me, you are the cross
And my mind is on fire
And I'm at your mercy
Why can't we just surrender
Once a bird, on the ground,
looked into my soul
And I knew that
By the grace of God
I will know love
Though my days are alone
It comes to me in waves
You whisper to me we will be in Elysium
We will be eternal
Like the bow and the lyre
And watch the sea at night
And listen to the waves
And in the morning
There will be a newborn sky
I could be lost
you sang to me
and lead me to the harbour where the boats are still
I can see the birds
reflect in the water people talking, laughing
tables in the shade
the sun makes crystal shadows
I can hear them
caress the harbour walls
window shutters close
lights along the road glow
in a ceremony of cerulean blue
you are all I need
you lead me
in from the storm
to where the sun makes
crystal shadows
