Au bord de l'eau
At the water's edge
Un pigeon défunt
A deceased pigeon
Pour un oiseau
For a bird
Mais quelle drôle de fin
But what a funny ending
Sur la plage échoue sans cesse
On the beach constantly fails
Jeté par les vagues
Thrown by the waves
Échoue sans cesse
Fails all the time
Là-bas
Over there
À présent l'orage
Now the storm
Dort sous la grève
Sleeps under the strike
Tout gorgé d'eau
Full of water
Le sable s'élève
The sand rises
Puisse l'oiseau foudroyé
May the struck bird
Dans le creux de mes pas
In the hollow of my steps
Reposer
To rest
Viens là
Come here
Le soleil perce l'oiseau gris
The sun pierces the gray bird
De ses raides et doux
Of its stiff and soft
Rayons comme des aiguilles
Rays like needles
Une poupée vaudou
A voodoo doll
Le soleil perce l'oiseau gris
The sun pierces the gray bird
De ses raides et doux
Of its stiff and soft
Rayons comme des aiguilles
Rays like needles
Une poupée vaudou
A voodoo doll
Arrive-t-il
Is it coming
D'un pays lointain
From a distant country
Ce volatile
This bird
Au regard éteint?
With a dull look?
Moi je le crois revenu
I think he's back
Apeuré et nu
Scared and naked
Du fond de ma mémoire
From the depths of my memory
Rétive
Reactive
Alors du temps qui passe
So time passes
Je remonte le cours
I'm going back up the course
Jusqu'à l'impasse
Until the dead end
Où gisent mes amours
Where my loves lie
Espérant trouver des plumes
Hoping to find feathers
Un souvenir de plus
One more memory
Du pauvre oiseau
Of the poor bird
Reconnu
Recognized
Le soleil perce l'oiseau gris
The sun pierces the gray bird
De ses raides et doux
Of its stiff and soft
Rayons comme des aiguilles
Rays like needles
Une poupée vaudou
A voodoo doll
Le soleil perce l'oiseau gris
The sun pierces the gray bird
De ses raides et doux
Of its stiff and soft
Rayons comme des aiguilles
Rays like needles
Une poupée vaudou
A voodoo doll
Viens que je te mette à l'abri
Come let me shelter you
Des longs doigts lumineux
Long luminous fingers
De l'astre enfantin qui appuie
Of the childish star which supports
Sur les plaies de tes yeux
On the sores of your eyes
Viens que je te mette à l'abri
Come let me shelter you
Des longs doigts lumineux
Long luminous fingers
De l'astre enfantin qui appuie
Of the childish star which supports
Sur les plaies de tes yeux
On the sores of your eyes
Pigeon de mon cœur
Pigeon of my heart
Pigeon de mon cœur
Pigeon of my heart
Épine
Spiked
Tu es le remords
You are remorse
Infatigable oiseau moqueur
Tireless mockingbird
Pigeon de mon cœur
Pigeon of my heart
Épine
Spiked
Tu es le remords
You are remorse
Infatigable oiseau moqueur
Tireless mockingbird
