Lyrics
Des terres brunes, j’ai voulu
J’ai voulu ne garder
De souvenance aucune
Mais
C'étaient des terres humides
Qui s’accrochaient aux pieds:
Même au-dessus du vide
Elles restaient collées
J'étais un écolier
Et l'école était brune
Comme la terre accrochée
J’ai voulu n’en garder
De souvenance aucune
Mais le sol peut trembler
Disparaître la lune
Et tout se retourner
On trouvera collée
Sous mes pieds la terre brune
Lyrics translation
Brown lands, I wanted
I wanted not to keep
Memory none
But
They were wetlands.
Who clung to the feet:
Even above the vacuum
They were stuck together.
I was a schoolboy
And the school was Brown
Like the Earth hanging
I wanted to keep it
Memory none
But the ground can shake
Disappear the moon
And all turn around
We'll find it stuck
Under my feet the brown earth
