Il y a là la peinture
There is the painting there
Des oiseaux, l'envergure
Birds, wingspan
Qui luttent contre le vent
Who fight against the wind
Il y a là les bordures
There are the borders there
Les distances, ton allure
Distances, your pace
Quand tu marches juste devant
When you walk right in front
Il y a là les fissures
There are the cracks there
Fermées les serrures
Close the locks
Comme envolés les cerfs-volants
As the kites fly away
Il y a là la littérature
There is literature there
Le manque d'élan
Lack of momentum
L'inertie, le mouvement
Inertia, movement
Parfois on regarde les choses
Sometimes we look at things
Telles qu'elles sont
As they are
En se demandant pourquoi
Wondering why
Parfois, on les regarde
Sometimes we look at them
Telles qu'elles pourraient être
As they could be
En se disant pourquoi pas
Saying why not
Il y a lalala
There is lalala
Si l'on prenait le temps
If we took the time
Si l'on prenait le temps
If we took the time
Il y a là la littérature
There is literature there
Le manque d'élan
Lack of momentum
L'inertie, le mouvement
Inertia, movement
Parfois on regarde les choses
Sometimes we look at things
Telles qu'elles sont
As they are
En se demandant pourquoi
Wondering why
Parfois, on les regarde
Sometimes we look at them
Telles qu'elles pourraient être
As they could be
En se disant pourquoi pas
Saying why not
Il y a là les mystères
There are mysteries there
Le silence sous la mer
The silence under the sea
Qui luttent contre l'temps
Who fight against time
Il y a là les bordures
There are the borders there
Les distances, ton allure
Distances, your pace
Quand tu marches juste devant
When you walk right in front
Il y a là les murmures
There are the whispers
Un soupir, l'aventure
A sigh, adventure
Comme emmêlés les cerfs-volants
Like tangled kites
Il y a là la littérature
There is literature there
Le manque d'élan
Lack of momentum
L'inertie, le mouvement
Inertia, movement
Parfois on regarde les choses
Sometimes we look at things
Telles qu'elles sont
As they are
En se demandant pourquoi
Wondering why
Parfois, on les regarde
Sometimes we look at them
Telles qu'elles pourraient être
As they could be
En se disant pourquoi pas

Sometimes we look at things
Telles qu'elles sont
As they are
En se demandant pourquoi
Wondering why
Parfois, on les regarde
Sometimes we look at them
