Lyrics

Diagonals

Souviens-toi des vacances
Vacances de la petite
Qui cherche resemblance
Á la grande bourgeoisie

Par quelle différence
Peuvent-elles se distinguer?
Leurs tortures sans prudence
Ou nos vies passionnées

Des vies de dépendance
Ou des gens tout petits
Retournent à l'importance
De leur vies étourdies

Un moment de vacances
Rien aprés interdit
Moment d'indépendance
Et ce que c'est beau la vie

Un moment de vacances
Oublier ses soucis
Embrasser l'abondance
Qu'a confié la vie

J'ai envie qu'on avance
Qu'on prenne de la distance
Les dévisions m'ennuient
Et vive les harmonies

Un moment de vacances
Rien aprés interdit
Moment d'indépendance
Et ce que c'est beau la vie

Un moment de vacances
Oublier ses soucis
Embrasser l'abondance
Qu'a confié la vie
