Retour Au Quartier Lointain(original) |
La rue monte en lacets |
Chaque virage se mérite |
Et tu te sens perdu |
Comme tu reconnais tout |
Tu ne sais que leur dire |
Pas même «ça passe trop vite «» Nous ne t’en voulons pas «Dit la main sur ta joue: |
Quartier lointain |
En te levant ce jour |
Tu ne soupçonnais pas |
L’intention de tes pas |
Et tu t’es réveillé |
Dans ce lieu où le temps |
Avait à te causer |
D’une jeunesse distraite |
Du sable plein les doigts |
Oh mon amour perdu |
Que reste-t‘il de quoi? |
La rue monte en lacets |
Concentré dans l’effort |
Tu n’as hier pas vu |
Tout ce qui s’y tramait |
Ni entendu les voix |
De ceux qui t’attendraient |
Ceux qui te revoyant |
Semblent t’attendre encore: |
Quartier lointain |
(translation) |
The street winds up |
Every bend is worth it |
And you feel lost |
How you recognize everything |
You don't know what to tell them |
Not even "it goes by too fast" "We don't blame you" Said the hand on your cheek: |
Distant neighborhood |
When you wake up this day |
You didn't suspect |
The intention of your steps |
And you woke up |
In this place where time |
Had to talk to you |
Of a distracted youth |
Fingers full of sand |
Oh my lost love |
What's left of what? |
The street winds up |
Concentrated in the effort |
You didn't see yesterday |
Everything that was going on |
Nor heard the voices |
Of those who would wait for you |
Those who see you again |
Still seem to be waiting for you: |
Distant neighborhood |
