Le Vent Nous Portera Lyrics in English Noir Désir

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Vent Nous Portera by Noir Désir from French to English.
I'm not scared of the road
We should see, we gotta taste it
Meanders in the small of the back
And everything'll be fine there
The wind will carry us
Your message to the Great Bear
And the path of the run
A velvet snapshot
Even if it's useless, go on
The wind will sweep it away
Everything'll disappear but
The wind will carry us
The caress and the shrapnel
And that wound that nags at us
The palace of other days
Of yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry them
Genetics slung on the shoulder
Chromosomes in the air
Taxis for the galaxies
And my flying carpet, huh?
The wind will sweep it away
Everything'll disappear but
The wind will carry us
That scent of our dead years
Whatever may knock at your door
Infinity of fates
We lay one down and what do we keep from it?
The wind will sweep it away
While the tide rises
And everyone tallies up again
I carry in the hollow of my shadow
Dust motes of you
The wind will carry them
Everything'll disappear but
The wind will carry us

SONG MEANING

Le Vent Nous Portera invites us to hop on an invisible sailboat made of air and possibility. The singer is not afraid of the road ahead; instead, he tastes every twist and turn, convinced that the wind will carry him wherever he needs to go. From sending secret messages to the constellation of the Big Dipper to imagining chromosomes floating through the sky like stardust, the lyrics paint a kaleidoscope where everyday memories, cosmic dreams, and fleeting emotions all swirl together.

Beneath the poetic imagery lies a simple, liberating idea: everything is temporary, but that is exactly what makes life exhilarating. Joy and pain, yesterday and tomorrow, velvet snapshots and bullet-like shocks will all be swept away, so why not dance with them while they last? The song comforts us with the thought that the wind will always pick up the pieces, carrying our hopes, regrets, and love into the vastness where, somehow, they still matter. In the end, trusting the wind means trusting the flow of life itself.
