Lyrics Translation Share

Mon corps se pence
Ma main s'entends
Prends du gravier
Un morcean blanc de coquille

Pour un instant
Un mugissement
L'antique mer
Rempli cet espace qui a ete le mien

Lozanges mobiles
Des herbes flottantes
Un cri soudain
D'oiseau flamboie au firmament

Une troupe d'antilopes
Traverse l'horizon
Sabots scintillants comme du verre

Un rire sonne comme le cristal
Dans le ciel vide
Quelqu'un danse comme une flamme

[Verse 1]
The body stoops
The hand goes out
Picks up from the gravel
A fragment of white seashell

[Verse 2]
For a moment
A roaring
The ancient sea
Fills the space that just now was mine

[Verse 3]
Moving diamond-shapes
Grasses flowing
The sudden cry of a bird
Blazes all along the sky

[Bridge]
A herd of antelope
Crosses the horizon
Hooves scintillating like glass
A laugh rings like crystal
In the empty sky—
Someone is dancing like a flame

[Verse 1]
The body stoops
The hand goes out
Picks up from the gravel
A fragment of whitе seashell
