tropiques
la plus belle chanson du monde
TILL THE NIGHT IS THROUGH
I met a fellow gipsy crossing the bridge from the east to the west
He said I lost my memories, they’re stored in a place that vanished my friend
Swept away by the wind, scattered in the ocean of regret
Among the ghostly distant echoes of old poets’ laments
I have no past, no present, no pillow to lay my head
I see my shadow in the sand, I see a man of lead
So remember the olive trees, and the green mountain range
Remember the ecstasy of the first harvest rain
Now it’s turned into dust and fire, and it displaced us too
So let’s stay together, Till the night is through
So let’s stay together, Till the night is through
I met a fellow gipsy crossing the bridge from the east to the west
He said I lost my history, it’s gone with the wave that covered my land
We’re swept away by the wind, two lonely drifters with no address
We find comfort in the echoes of old poets’ laments
We have no past, no present, no pillow to lay our heads
We feel the ground is shaking, don’t know what lies ahead
So remember the olive trees, and the green mountain range
Remember the ecstasy of the first harvest rain
Now it’s turned into dust and fire, and it displaced us too
So let’s stay together, Till the night is through
So let’s stay together, Till the night is through….
