Lyrics of Radeau De Pierre - Julien Clerc

Radeau De Pierre (original)

Ce n’est qu’un radeau ma belle
L’amour que vous avez pour moi
Mais c’est un Radeau De Pierres
Et vous savez qu’il sombrera
J’aimerai me rappeler le souvenir de vos caresses
J’aimerai me rappeler le souvenir de vos tendresses
Mais toujours
Dans ma cour (2x)
Ce sont des moineaux sans ailes
Qui viennent piailler autour de moi
Les traces de vos ongles cruels
Dans leurs flancs sanglants, je les vois
Ils viennent me rappeler le souvenir de vos caresses
Ils viennent me rappeler le souvenir de vos tendresses
De vos tendresses
Vos tendresses (2x)
J’aimerai bien oublier le souvenir de vos caresses
J’aimerai bien oublier le souvenir de vos tendresses
De vos tendresses
Vos tendresses (2x)
Ce n’est qu’un radeau ma belle
La vie que vous me proposez
Mais c’est un Radeau De Pierre
Et vous savez qu’il va sombrer
Savez qu’il va sombrer (2x)

(translation)

It's just a raft girl
The love you have for me
But it's a Raft Of Stones
And you know it will sink
I would like to remember the memory of your caresses
I would like to remember the memory of your tenderness
But always
In my backyard (2x)
They are wingless sparrows
Who come chirping around me
The traces of your cruel fingernails
In their bloody sides I see them
They come to remind me of the memory of your caresses
They come to remind me of the memory of your tendernesses
Of your affections
Your affections (2x)
I would like to forget the memory of your caresses
I would like to forget the memory of your tenderness
Of your affections
Your affections (2x)
It's just a raft girl
The life you offer me
But it's a Stone Raft
And you know it's going to sink
Know it's going to sink (2x)
