the wind will carry us

An infinity of destinies
We suggest one, but can we keep it?
The wind will take it away

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

back to Bach

Estonian composer Arvo Part is becoming this generation's Bach. His music, like this Salve Regina that he wrote in 2001, is ethereal and spiritual.


Salve Regina lyrics and translation:

Hail Queen, mother of mercy;
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae;

our life, our sweetness and our hope, hail.
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae.

To thee do we send up our sighs,
Ad te suspiramus,

mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,

thine eyes of mercy toward us.
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

After this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,

of thy womb, Jesus.
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.
