lyrics

Passerelle

Sur ce sentier qui mène à rien
Dans ce wagon où manquent les freins
J’expire
Je respire

Sur cette route de fer et de feu
Sur ces rails de ronces et de bleus
J’expire
Je respire

Dans le vent, dans les nuages errants
Dans les champs, dans les saisons

Dans les prairies de mon destin
Et les orties sur mon chemin
J’expire
Je respire

Devant les portes de barbelés
De ces marais ensorcelés
J’expire
Je respire

Dans le vent, dans les nuages errants
Dans les champs, dans les saisons
Dans le vent, le crépuscule naissant
Dans les champs, dans les saisons

Sous mes pieds, le poids des années
Cet hiver tout sera noyé
Le pont n’est plus où je l’ai laissé
Je m’enlise sous la voie lactée

Je cherche une faille entre hier et demain
Une entaille dans l’écrin
Une autre issue, un feu follet
Une passerelle vers l’éternité

Dans le vent, dans les nuages errants
Dans les champs, dans les saisons
Dans le vent, le crépuscule naissant
Dans les champs, dans les saisons



Footbridge

On this path that leads to nothing
On this runaway train
I exhale, I breathe

On this road of iron and fire
On these rails of bramble and bruises
I exhale, I breathe

Into the wind, into the drifting clouds
Into the fields, into the seasons

In the meadows of my fate
And the nettles on my trail
I exhale, I breathe

In front of the barbwire doors
In these bewitched swamps
I exhale, I breathe

Into the wind, into the drifting clouds
Into the fields, into the seasons
Into the wind, the nascent dusk
Into the fields, into the seasons

Under my feet, the weight of the years
This Winter, everything will be flooded
The bridge is not where I remember it
I’m sinking under the Milky Way

I’m looking for a rift between yesterday and tomorrow
A gap in the backdrop
An other exit, a will-o’-the-whisp
A footbridge to Eternity

Into the wind, into the drifting clouds
Into the fields, into the seasons
Into the wind, the nascent dusk
Into the fields, into the seasons
