I see the city again, festive and delirious
Gasping under the sun
And under joy
And I hear in the music
The cries, the laughs
That explode and bounce
Around me
And lost among these people
Who jostle me
Dizzy, helpless, I stand there
When suddenly, I turn around
He steps back
And the crowd comes
To throw me into his arms
Carried by the crowd
That drags us
Pulls us along
Crushed against each other
We’re nothing but one body
And the flow, without effort
Pushes us, chained to each other
And leaves us both
Blooming, intoxicated and happy
Swept up by the crowd that surges
And that dances
A crazy farandole
Our two hands stay fused
And sometimes lifted
Our entwined bodies take flight
And fall back together
Blooming, intoxicated and happy
And the joy, splashed by his smile
Pierces me
And springs back deep inside me
But suddenly I let out a cry
Amid the laughs
When the crowd comes to snatch him
From my arms
Carried by the crowd
That drags us
Pulls us along
Moves us away from each other
I struggle and I fight
But the sound of my voice
Gets smothered in the laughs of the others
And I scream in pain
In fury and rage
And I cry
Swept up by the crowd that rushes
And that dances
A crazy farandole
I'm carried far away
And I clench my fists
Cursing the crowd that steals from me
The man it had given me
And whom I never found again
