I Approach
Tightrope walking earthling
Lying heavily on rock
I look for your softness
Your suspended caresses
In my solitude, I approach
My bones follow your tracks
Along smoke-filled banks,
Burns under your sun
My masterful soul
In my solitude, I approach
My wings poisoned
by oily molecules
accept my sorrow
my ghostly pardon
In my solitude, I approach
Tightrope walking earthling
With smoky soul, I approach
I burn in your softness
Masterful earth
—————————————
Je viens
Funambule terrien,
Aimanté à la roche,
Je cherche tes douceurs,
Tes caresses suspendues.
Dans ma solitude, je viens
Mes os suivent ta piste,
Aux rivages enfumés
Je brûle sous ton soleil
Mon âme de capitaine
Dans ma solitude, je viens
mes ailes empoisonnées
de molécules pétroliennes
accepte mon désolé
mon pardon fumigène
Dans ma solitude, je viens
Funambule terrien,
A l’âme enfumée je viens
Je brûle dans ta douceur,
Terre capitaine
