La Tour de Babel (original)La Tour de Babel (translation)
Elle a dit «peut-être» She said "maybe"
Il a cru «demain» He believed "tomorrow"
Souvent d'être à être Often from being to being
Y a plus de chemin There's no more way
La foule est trop grande The crowd is too big
Pour les beaux retours For the nice feedback
Et nos corps se rendent And our bodies surrender
Vers d’autres amours Towards other loves
Ils ont mis pierre sur pierre entre terre et ciel They put stone on stone between earth and sky
Ils ont construit de leurs mains la tour de Babel They built the Tower of Babel with their own hands
Il a crié «donne» He shouted "give"
L’autre a dit «trop tard» The other said "too late"
Lorsque entre homme et homme When between man and man
Y a plus de regard There's no more gaze
La terre est trop grande The earth is too big
Et les hommes sourds And deaf men
Et nos mains se tendent And our hands reach out
Ouvertes toujours Always open
Ils ont mis pierre sur pierre entre terre et ciel They put stone on stone between earth and sky
Ils ont construits de leurs mains la tour de Babel They built the Tower of Babel with their own hands
Pour un mot qui clame For a word that claims
Un mot de travers A Word Away
Il y aura des flammes There will be flames
Dans tout l’univers In all the universe
Les bouches sont grandes Mouths are big
Pour les beaux discours For fine speeches
Mais les peaux se vendent But skins sell
Les peaux de tambours Drum Heads
Un jour nos langages One day our languages
Parleront de fleurs Will talk about flowers
Et du mariage And marriage
Des quatre couleurs Of the four colors
Sauras-tu comprendre will you be able to understand
Qu’ils parlent d’amour? That they talk about love?
Moi, je vais t’attendre I will be waiting for you
Au pied de la Tour At the foot of the Tower
En attendant, Caïn chasse toujours Abel Meanwhile, Cain is still hunting Abel
Mais j’ai construit de mes mains la Tour de BabelBut I built with my hands the Tower of Babel
