Lyrics
C’est la tentation
D'?tre toute absorb? e De n’avoir plus? se soucier
du temps de notre vie
C’est la peur de vivre,
d’aller jusqu’au bout
Celle aussi d’aller? la rencontre
de sa finitude
C’est la tentation
De nier le pr? sent
Parce que c’est justement lui
qui est insaisissable
Se voiler la face,
plut? t que d'?tre claire
Ne point vouloir embrasser son
?tat de solitude
Mon arbre est tout fleuri
Pourtant il fait encore tr? s froid dehors
On en attend des fruits
Les nouriciers
Qui rendent beau et fort
Il est comme ma vie
Des fois morose
D’autres fois haut en couleurs
Assise sous l’arbre en fleur
Au creux de l’ombre
De la lumi? re, du bonheur
Lyrics translation
This is the temptation
D'?be all absorb? e to have no more? care
of the time of our lives
It's the fear of living,
to the end
The one to go too? meeting
of its finitude
This is the temptation
To deny the pr? feel
Because it's just him
who is elusive
It veiler to face,
plut? t what d'?three claire
Don't want to kiss her
?tat of loneliness
My tree is all flowered
Yet it still does tr? s cold outside
We expect fruit
Nannies
That make it beautiful and strong
It's like my life
Sometimes morose
Other times high in color
Sitting under the blooming tree
In the dark
From the worlds? re, happiness
