Lyrics
Pendant la nuit, l’hiver est revenu
Dans les rues aujourd’hui, tous les arbres sont morts
En coutant la pluie, tu penses ce pays don’t le nom tait San Salvador
Tu te souviens quand tu fermes les yeux
D’un trange jardin d’o montait le matin
Des milliers de parfums et des papillons bleus
C’tait peut-tre San Salvador
San Salvador, tu rptes ce mot
Comme si tu voulais retrouver le reflet
Des crpuscules mauves et des galions du port
Qui revenaient de l’le au trsor
Tu ne sais plus comment y retourner
Qui sait si ce pays a jamais exist
Si c’tait dans tes rves ou dans une autre vie
Que tu as connu San Salvador
San Salvador, le vent souffle aux carreaux
Dans le bruit de la pluie, tu entends un cho
Une chanson perdue qui te vient d’un pays
Que tu ne reverras jamais plus.
Lyrics translation
During the night, winter returned
On the streets today, all the trees are dead
By costing the rain, you think this country don't the name was San Salvador
Remember when you close your eyes
From a strange garden of o rose in the morning
Thousands of perfumes and blue butterflies
Maybe it was San Salvador.
San Salvador, you say that word
As if you wanted to regain the reflection
Purple crpuscules and galleons of the harbor
Who were returning from the le to the trsor
You don't know how to go back.
Who knows if this country ever existed
If it was in your rves or in another life
That you knew San Salvador
San Salvador, the wind blows to the tiles
In the sound of rain, you hear a cho
A lost song that comes to you from a country
That you'll never see again.
