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
