Waves

Encantament suu rivatge  Andada furiosa, tempèsta violenta  La mar grana que brama  Los ómis que s'amassan en arrau  Holia sus la plaja  A sovaguèira, l'escur que's desvelha  L'eslama ahueca lo cèu  Luenhèc lo borromb deu tambor resona  Be qu'em brembarei, amor, lo ton nom

I know a man who loves big waves They answer to the waves of his soul which he hides under a surface of gentle calm, like an ocean roaring under the surface of a lake .. with waves, that a harbour can’t contain Sitting on the cliff above it I’m watching, feeling The ocean in me echoing to his, echoing to his He wants to be polite and do the right thing His weakness is his will to please He can’t handle guilt He lets his wife’s anger crash on him, silently While inside him an ocean is roaring with waves, that a harbour can’t contain Sitting on the cliff above it I’m watching, feeling The ocean in me echoing to his, echoing to his Who can change their nature? One can only pretend for a while He whips himself, says he is a bad guy Steps away from the edge, walks on the safe ground Just long enough so she won’t take his son from him But inside, an ocean, is roaring … with waves, that a harbour can’t contain Sitting on the cliff above it I’m watching, feeling The ocean in me echoing with his Echoing with his

From the blue of the sea to the blue of her eye She scrutinises the horizon Every time he’s at sea, the fear in her heart Awakens until he is back He should be home by now .. She knows the moment she’s been dreading all these years has come, come, come.. He is gone.. He is .. gone Sail over the sea Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake Fall into the depths of the infinite blue that had fed them all this time The payback was his life The boiler on the stove is calling with a whistle And interrupts her rêverie She pours water in a cup and prepares tea Holds in a sob with dignity She won’t beak down now The phone is ringing, a voice confirms what she’s known known, known.. He is gone.. He is.. gone Sail over the sea Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake Fall into the depths of the infinite blue that had fed them all this time The payback was his life

In the mist of the morning My past came meddling with my present in a dream The elf from the Eastern Woods was in it .. and the words he had said « You’re my soulmate », the strength of which my insecurity wasn’t able to handle then Can one fix in the present the mistakes of one’s past We were too young, we had so much to learn Will you listen to my voice now And heal the unintentional wounds of the past Shall we leave the wounds in the past? I did feel your arms encircling my waist I did feel your cheek against my belly I was petrified by so much beauty This pure spontaneity I had petrified others with, without knowing it Never before had I received The shock of it Can one fix in the present the mistakes of one’s past We were too young, we had so much to learn Will you listen to my voice now And heal the unintentional wounds of the past Shall we leave the wounds in the past? Water’s run under the bridges, following the circle of life is back to me now, I’m no longer stepping back We used to laugh at the same time while watching a horror film Our bravery was but a mask One’s armour can go down only when one’s inner peace has grown I wish you’ve found what you were looking for .. Chorus

She always tells the truth, how very annoying this is In every room she enters, she attracts people to her They try and include her in their games But when she stays herself, they turn their heads away from her And she leaves waves behind her She leaves waves behind her She’s learned, growing up, that truth and justice don’t make one that big men can be small, that those who claim that they know don’t that some men have no word and will lie And when they can’t lead her on they’ll try and get rid off her And she leaves waves behind her She leaves waves behind her She’s good at what she does, how very annoying this is Success comes easy to her, at least it’s how it seems Wives fear her when their men praise her They’ll try and befriend her, be like her to replace her And she leaves waves behind her She leaves waves behind her She makes waves by sailing on the Ocean her own way Feeling lonely at times but if she’d dug a little deeper, she would find out that among those who despise her, some secretly love her Wouldn’t forgive her if she turned her back on her nature She makes waves around her, Leaves waves behind her, Leaves waves behind her

One step, two steps At the bottom of the sea, It is dark all around me And it’s cold until a face appears Out of nowhere, friendly And with a look gives me love and support Now there’s a meaning to being here, it doesn’t feel as cold anymore I open up to the rolling of the waves, they want to play I play back with them, I wasn’t born to be a rock, but .. I was born to roll like the waves I was born to roll with the waves Break on the rocks and yet never break Go up and down with the tides And where I used to have legs there’s a Finn now there instead I can finally swim at my own pace And when one day, I see, a man I like on the sea I swim towards his sailboat cautiously I appear to him, out of nowhere, timidly And with a look, promise infinity .. If he will be with me, But can he give it all to the sea, cuz I was born to roll like the waves I was born to roll with the waves Break on the rocks and yet never break Go up and down with the tides

In the town of the free minds bibles are hidden inside furniture, people help each other say their prayers in secrete caves find shelter in the stone houses by the cypresses Follow the current of the river the freedom of the water around the blocks of oppression .. And never would they sell each other They would rather choose death over Forever loose their honour By betraying their brothers and their faith When Jean comes to town today he finds out his friend was hung on the main square for heresy None of his feelings show on his face and the towners around him give out no fear It would feed the crows of the king He can’t linger here, he must trade his furs bring back food and tonight, in the cover of the cave He’ll pray their god for their friend gone, for the freedom of thoughts They must organise resistance, risk their lives again Again, risk their lives

I’m stepping cautiously towards the edge I can hear big waves crashing against the rocks They’re reminding me, loudly, that I’m alive and that they’re stronger than me I agree humbly I agree humbly I belong with air but I can’t fly I’m one with water but I can’t dive for long I belong here strongly and yet I’m tiny facing the Ocean facing the Ocean I’m walking uphill to the lighthouse I’ll climb the stairs then I’ll stare into the mist I’ll pierce though it with a beam of light So that I can guide boats with it I belong with air but I can’t fly I’m one with water but I can’t dive for long I belong here strongly and yet I’m tiny facing the Ocean Facing the Ocean I go back down and I take off my clothes I walk on stones that cut deep into my feet I’m determined to abandon myself to the Ocean Which attracts me irresistibly It’s soothing me gently It’s rocking me softly till the wind starts blowing strongly then, it rocks me, harshly .. Am I willing to take this, be at its mercy? It’s holding me back when I decide to swim to the shore With the energy I have left in me I escape from the Ocean Escape the Ocean Won’t submit to the Ocean I leave the Ocean Leave the Ocean ..

Une vague parmi tant d’autres Roule plus longuement que les autres Son écume est plus blanche Et son fracas plus intense Mais au bout du trajet, Que s’entend-elle dire? Qu’il lui faut changer Se conformer Se modeler Sur les autres Se rendent-ils compte, seulement Que lorsque mes vagues seront devenues lisses s’en sera fini de mes océans Se rendent-ils compte, seulement?

I ran away from home From booze, dope and boredom I know what I’ll become I would like for a boat to adopt me I know I’m not as big As the strong men on this ship But my power is In my hands, in my soul Soon my legs get stronger No longer I fall down, when the Rebel pitches More nests to throw and hooks to clean And the killing on the deck begins « Give me coffee please, so I don’t fall asleep » Why are we killing? Those fishes’ hearts shall beat inside me now - Why are you here, where are you heading to? Lili, this ain’t no place for you - I’m heading to the end of the world, I’ll feel my legs hang in emptiness Then I’ll fall and fly in the air Till then I want to run, always And fish ! just like the rest of you This is where life is and I deserve to feel it too Life The Indian turned his head Looked to the horizon in disapproval The lion man said no word But his eyes spoke to me in silence They penetrate me with the strength of the sailor at sea And when he enters me I sail with him So soon, would take my life away - Why are you here, where are you heading to, Lili, this ain’t no place for you - I’m heading to the end of the world I’ll feel my legs hang in emptiness Then I’ll fall and fly in the air Till then I want to run, always And fish ! just like the rest of you This is where life is and I deserve to feel it too Life I don’t want a house I want to fly And I want you in me again Maybe we’ll have the ice-cream baby Look at me with your yellow eyes My hands are in your hair And I feel lonely when you’re gone They said my friend drowned at sea It is death and life Waves and the sky I’m holding my sleeping bag tight against me Under the stars I found it, finally The end of the world is .. Here

Bats flying on the August sky after the swallows , before the shooting stars This is the reward for the tempests braved and the seeds planted I exchange words with a friend We still hold hands as years go by The little girl had a dream .. The Capt’n in me whispers now « It happened in NYC, on the Brooklyn bridge .. » Maybe The second half of the quest goes west But I am here and now And I wonder All I’ve known with you is waves Will we meet in the other half? In Saint Malo town? Then we decide.. hey Enjoy this August night, the Capt’n adds, We’ll set sail whenever it feels right I’m imprinting the feeling of peace and space I am where love is standing in the middle of the wind rose .. « Enjoy it while it lasts » My Capt’n adds « All good things come to an end Profitez de cette belle soirée d’Août », mon Capitaine ajoute « Et souvenez-vous, Toutes les meilleures choses ont une fin.. hey ! »
