lyrics

Quand nous deviendrons des arbres anciens,
nous rassemblerons nos racines
et léviterons
comme des tours du ciel

Avec une grâce soudaine
nous deviendrons le ciel lui-même
voyant enfin le fracas d'oiseaux
dont nous avons toujours connu l'ombre
sans pourtant chercher à la voir

À l’aube, nous chanterons avec eux
Au soleil de midi, nous volerons avec eux
Au crépuscule, nous les envelopperons dans nos nuages
et crierons comme les vagues de la mer
que nous avons toujours écoutées,
sans jamais leur parler

~

When we become ancient trees,
we will gather our roots
and levitate
like sky towers

With a sudden grace
we will become the sky itself,
finally seeing the riot of birds
whose shadows we've always known
but never tried to see

At dawn, we will sing with them
At noonday, we will fly with them
At dusk, we will wrap them in our clouds
and scream like the ocean waves
whom we've always listened to,
but never spoken with
