lyrics

Ah,
La nuit des temps
Le temps perdu
Qui coule qui vole
Trop vite, trop lent

Mais si tu donne
Tout ton coeur
À chaque instant
Sans peine, sans peur
Tu garderas le moment
Me voilà maintenant
Un pas à gauche un pas à droite
Derrière devant
Si l’esprit m’entends
Lorsque je danse
Il dansera avec moi

Il est toujours là
Derrière la vitre
Cachée comme une huître qui attend
Seulement
La lune, ah, décroissante
Et un peu de silence, mmm,
Juste un peu de silence

Et puis enfin quand
Ton coeur est calme
Et le ciel est noir
Il s’ouvre sous la nouvelle lune
Timide heureux plein d’espoir
Et puis devine qui
Éclaire le soir
Avec une perle
Pleine, brillante,
Ton miroir

Il est toujours la
Derrière la vitre,
Caché comme une huître qui attends seulement
Une danse ensemble
Et un peu de silence, mmm,
Juste un peu de silence

Love is always there
If you get quiet and close up your eyes you will see, finally
He’s been waiting eternally
For you to see
mmm
For you to see

——

Ah, the dawn of time
The time that’s lost
That leaks, that flies
Too quick, too slow
But if you give your whole heart
To every instant
Without fear, without pain
You’ll keep the moment

Here I am now
A step to the left, to the right
Behind, and front
If the Spirit hears me as I dance
He’ll dance with me

He is always there
Just beyond the window
Hidden like an oyster who’s just waiting
For the waning moon
and a little silence

And finally when
Your heart is calm
And the sky is dark
He’ll open up
Timid and joyful and full of hope
And then guess who
Lights up the evening
With a pearl!
Full and glowing,
Your mirror

He is always there
Just behind the window,
Hidden like an oyster who awaits only
A dance together
And a little bit of silence
Mmm…
Just a bit of silence

Love is always there
If you get quiet and close up your eyes you will see, finally
He’s been waiting eternally
For you to see
Mmm…
For you to see

by Good Good Blood
