Translation of the song lyrics 00 Zen - Axel Bauer

00 Zen (original)

D’oùvient ce vertige?
En l’an 3000 et des poussières
On s’arrache de la terre
Dans les vapeurs cosmiques
A la soute les ombres malsaines
A la proue notre vierge noire et querelleuse
Brutale et païenne
Ouvre la voie des cieux intergalactiques
00 zen
Explorons les sources divines
De notre moi profond
Allons chasser les perles les trésors enfouis
De nos presqu'îles
Rêvons glorieusement en Samadhi
Soleil des anges qui nous murmurent
Dans le silence
00 zen
To be or not to be
It doesn’t matter
You are the universe, now !
Now !
00 zen
A fond de cale
Hissez les voiles
Embarquez pour les contrées lointaines
Que l’amour soit notre emblème
Et la terre notre signe
00 zen
To be or not to be
It doesn’t matter
You are the universe, now !
Now !
00 zen

00 Zen (translation)

Where does this vertigo come from?
In the year 3000 and dust
We tear ourselves away from the earth
In the cosmic vapors
In the hold the unhealthy shadows
At the prow our black and quarrelsome virgin
Brutal and pagan
Open the way to the intergalactic skies
00 zen
Let's explore the divine sources
From our inner selves
Let's hunt for pearls, buried treasures
From our peninsulas
Dream gloriously in Samadhi
Sun of the angels who whisper to us
In the silence
00 zen
To be or not to be
It doesn't matter
You are the universe, now!
Now!
00 zen
Deep in the hold
Hoist the sails
Set sail for distant lands
Let love be our emblem
And the earth our sign
00 zen
To be or not to be
It doesn't matter
You are the universe, now!
Now!
