The Sea is Calm

C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l'écran de la caméra
Comme une ampoule electrique grillée
Dans un seau d'eau

The sea is calm through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes, in a bucket of water

The sea is calm through hand made lenses
Like animals in a soundless dream
Like animals in bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat, tin foil and paper
The waves are big and there's a warm wind

Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil cassé
Il a jetté son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout

He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved

On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale

Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...
