Y un ruego en el alma

La Marée Haute (High Tide)



La route chante
The road sings

Quand je m’en vais
When I leave

Je fais trois pas…
I take three steps

La route se tait
The road is silent



La route est noire
The road is dark

À perte de vue
As far as the eye can see

Je fais trois pas…
I take three steps

La route n’est plus
The road is no more



Sur la marée haute
Onto the high tide

Je suis montée
I climbed

La tête est pleine
The head is full

Mais le cœur n’a
But the heart has not

Pas assez
Had enough



Mains de dentelle
Laced hands

Figure de bois
Wooden face

Le corps en brique
Brick body

Les yeux qui piquent
Stinging eyes



Mains de dentelle
Hands laced

Figure de bois
Wooden face

Je fais trois pas…
I take three steps

Et tu es là
And there you are



Sur la marée haute
Onto the high tide

Je suis montée
I climbed

La tête est pleine
The head is full

Mais le cœur n’a
But the heart has not

Pas assez
Had enough
