Lyrics of Noé - Marie Laforêt

Noé (original)

Chaque fleur s’ouvre àson passage
Et il sait parler aux enfants
Ses yeux font s’enfuir les nuages
Et il a connu plus de mille printemps
Et Noé, tout seul sur sa colline
Au vent,
Goûte le miel que lui font ses abeilles
Et Noéqui ne voit plus passer
Le temps,
En chantant fait lever le soleil
En sage et en bon patriarche
Il sait quand viendra le déluge
Il s’endort auprès de son arche
Il sait que l’homme a besoin d’un refuge
Et Noé, Noé, sur sa colline
Au vent,
Goûte le miel que lui font ses abeilles
Et Noéqui nous regarde et nous attend
En chantant fait lever le soleil
Et Noé, sur sa colline,
Tout seul, au vent

(translation)

Each flower opens as it passes
And he knows how to talk to children
His eyes make the clouds flee
And he has known more than a thousand springs
And Noah, all alone on his hill
In the wind,
Taste the honey his bees make for him
And Noéqui no longer sees passing
The weather,
Singing makes the sun rise
As a wise and a good patriarch
He knows when the flood will come
He falls asleep by his ark
He knows that man needs a refuge
And Noah, Noah, on his hill
In the wind,
Taste the honey his bees make for him
And Noéqui watches us and waits for us
Singing makes the sun rise
And Noah, on his hill,
All alone in the wind
