The Song of the Water

Sometimes I remember the first time we lost ourselves in the landslide,
as if the summer breeze
Was moving us up and over the mountain, in gusts of wind and surrender
into the open seas

Just like the butterflies fluttering into the light,
Are we going to crash and fall into the sun?
Just like the fireflies dancing into the night,
Are we going to rise again from the flames?

Sometimes in the song of the water, as if the river awakened
kisses in the storm
I hear my heart beat, I feel alive, I am breathing. Hold me close while we’re soaring high above the ground

Just like the butterflies fluttering into the light,
Are we going to crash and fall into the sun?
Just like the fireflies dancing into the night,
Are we going to rise again from the flames?


Le Chant de l’Eau

Parfois je me souviens de la première fois que nous nous sommes perdus dans le pierrier, comme si la brise d'été nous portait au-dessus des montagnes, dans des rafales de vent et d'abandon jusque dans le grand large

Comme les papillons qui battent des ailes vers la lumière,
Allons-nous tomber dans le soleil ?
Comme les lucioles qui dansent dans la nuit,
Allons-nous renaître des flammes ?

Parfois j’entends battre mon cœur dans le chant de l’eau comme si la rivière réveillait des baisers dans la tempête
Je me sens en vie, je respire, tiens-moi contre toi pendant que nous nous élevons dans les airs plus haut, loin de la terre

Comme les papillons qui battent des ailes vers la lumière,
Allons-nous tomber dans le soleil ?
Comme les lucioles qui dansent dans la nuit,
Allons-nous renaître des flammes ?
