The Last Shall Be the First


When marching without other purpose
No more past, tomorrow broken down
In the cold nothing of the street

When the words no longer exist
When hope is forgotten, dissolute
When the alcohol doesn't even make me drunk any more1
Remain the tormented sentences
Of the phrases that are being thrown away before giving up

And the last shall be the first
In the other reality
We will be the princes of eternity

A ticket on the side walk
In a newspaper of other stories
A random ray of sun

An abandoned flower
That others have left behind2
Not new enough, not enough
When your place is on the outside
Remains nothing but these phrases like treasure islands

An abandoned flower
And the last shall be the first
In the other reality
We will be the princes of eternity

The Days Like This


There are times like this
Where nothing makes sense
Where all the evidence
Are miles away from me

And the more I look at you
I lose more knowledge
In this vast emptiness
Where our lives drown

And after days like this
My love, tell me
That love can still go through it
After days like this
After days like this

There are times like this
As the questions pile up
Where the smiles weary
First

Is that it is only when
Just a thunderstorm
Then we will be strong enough
To fight again

And after days like this
My love, tell me
That love can still go through it
After days like this

After days like this
You know, reassure me
If love can retrace his steps?
After days like this

Is that it is a day like this
A shudder passes and we forget?

On days like this ...
Is love still goes by that? ...

After days like this
My love, tell me
That love can still go through it
After days like this

After days like this
You know, reassure me
If love can retrace his steps?
After days like this

Tell me ...

The Heavens


Before my eyes, the silvery sands
Lend me someone who looks exactly like you
Like a one night trip
The night of Lynch closes in on me
The Heavens are full of you
The Heavens are full of you

It's a voice that calls
It's a foreign body
A new world in which I drown
To read between the lines, double and separate
The Heavens are far from me
The Heavens are far from me

To go is not to leave
The first romance is the last
The Heavens are not on Earth
I want to find the light again

Believe in what is, believe in what is not
The fragile days are unending
Life has taught me all
The Heavens are not from here
The Heavens are not from here

To go is not to leave
The first romance is the last
The Heavens are not on Earth
I'm just like a soldier who hopes
The Heavens are not on Earth
I want to find the light again

The thread of our eyes
That silence that we heard together
It's all your strenght that serves me
I'm driving to Mulholland after the sea
The Heavens are not on Earth

The Heavens...
The Heavens are not on Earth
The Heavens are not on Earth
The Heavens are not on Earth
The Heavens are not on Earth
The Heavens are not on Earth
The Heavens are not on Earth

Lea's Small Feet


I didn't know you,
But you made me roar with laughter
With those little mouse-like hits
You gave from behind my navel

Even without knowing you,
I love you so much, already
All of my being
Felt this strong desire to take care of you

Why won't Lea's small feet
Ever take their very first steps?
Why won't her small feet grow?

A little shudder in the universe,
As if life changed its mind
And in a gust of wind, of dust,
Happiness was swept away

I would have given everything
For you to grow in my arms
Bad luck had pointed its finger
So that's what misfortune really is...

Why won't Lea's small feet
Ever take their very first steps?
Why won't her small feet grow?

Asleep in the palm of my hands,
A being that's so light
But so, so heavy
In my motherly heart

Not a trace of small fingers
Or of kisses blown
To your daddy through the window
As he's leaving for work

And it breaks his heart
To look at the blossoming tree
He planted there, thinking
He'd see you both grow at the same time

Why won't Lea's small feet
Ever take their very first steps?
Why won't her small feet grow?

My God, tell me why
I'll only have sung to her a single time
"Goodnight sweetheart, close your eyes and sleep"

Let your heart decide


I understand that you've met someone
With a perfect heart
But you've been questioned by everyone
So you're in the dark
Can you choose to fall
Should you risk it all

How'm I gonna stop it if you wanna give it all to love
When I'm on your side
And I understand you're the only one to know
Whether wrong or right
Let your heart decide (you're the only one)

Some may tell you don't take the risk
It's a waste of time
But if you think you'll find happiness
Baby take the dive

It's unusual
But it's critical

How'm I gonna stop it if you wanna give it all to love
When I'm on your side
And I understand you're the only one to know
Whether wrong or right
Let your heart decide (you're the only one)

Give it up
How'm I gonna stop it if you wanna give it all to love
When I'm on your side
And I understand you're the only one to know
Whether wrong or right
Let your heart decide (you're the only one)

George Sand's letter to Alfred de Musset
Venice, May 12th, 1834


No, my dear child, these three letters are not the last oath of the lover who leaves you; these are the hug of the brother who is still with you. That feeling is too beautiful, too pure and too gentle for me to ever need to cease feeling it. Let not my memory poison any pleasure of your life. But do not let these pleasures destroy and despise my memory. Be happy, be loved - how would you not? But keep me in secret corner of your heart and go down there when you are saddest to find solace or support.

Go on, love, my Alfred;
Love once and for all.
Love a young, beautiful woman
Who has never loved yet.

Spare her and do not hurt her.
The heart of a woman is such a delicate thing.

When it is a ice cube or a stone,
I believe that there is almost nothing in between.
And it is the same
With your way to love.

Your soul is bound to ardently love
Or to totally harden.
You said it numerous times
And tried but did not manage to retract.

Nothing, nothing did erase that sentence.
There is nothing in the world but love
Which does exist.
Perhaps you loved me with hatred
To love another woman with abandon.
Perhaps the next one
Will love you less than I did.
And perhaps she will be happier
And more loved.
Perhaps your final love
Will be the most fantasist and the freshest.
But please, please, do not kill your generous heart.
Let him completely go into your love life
So that one day you can look backward and say like me,
'I have often suffered, I have sometimes made mistakes,
But I have loved.'

Listen to the Magic Man


Listen to
The magic man
An abracaca
Dabra your life's
In cinerama

Listen to
The magic man
A bing bang
A ding dang
And oops

Roll on
Round & round
On & on
Up & down
You are in wonderland
Listen to the magic man

Listen to
The magic man
Got a trick
That's so slick
Disappears just quick as a lick

Listen to
The magic man
A bing bong
A ping pong
And you are off to hong kong

Roll on
Round & round
On & on
Up & down
You are in wonderland
Listen to the magic man

The wonders
The colours
The others
You're leaving them behind
Bye bye
Oh my, my magic man
Flish, flash fly
You are making me

Live For The One I Love


A million stars light
This beautiful night
This is not a night to die
Let me sing and dance
Beneath the sky
I have such love to give...to give
I want a chance to live

Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return

Free free to find my way
Free to have my say
Free to see the day

Be like I used to be
Like a wild bird free
With all of life in me

Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return

Though this world tears us apart
We're still together in my heart
I want the world to hear my cry
Even if I have to die
Love will not die
Love will change the world

Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return

I'll love until love wears me away
I'll die and I know my love will stay
And I know... I know my love will stay

Lolita (Trop Jeune Pour Aimer)


Tu dis qu' je suis trop jeune
Pour vivre avec un homme
Moi je te dis
Je m'en fous, je m'en fous
I love you

You say that I'm too young
To live with a man
And I'm telling you
I don't give a damn, don't give a damn
I love you
Si tu ne veux pas prendre
L'amour que je te donne
Je pourrais te rendre fou, rendre fou
Jusqu'au bout

If you don't want to take
The love I'm giving you
I could make you crazy, make you crazy
Until the end
Lolita n'est pas trop jeune pour aimer
N'est pas trop jeune pour se donner
Quand le desir devore son corps
Jusqu'au bout de ses doigts
Jamais trop jeune pour aimer
Jamais trop jeune pour se donner
Mais tu ignores le feu qui dort
Au fond de moi

Lolita is not too young to love
Is not too young to give herself
When desire consumes her (lit.: devours her body)
Completely (lit.: to the ends of her fingers)
Never too young to love
Never too young to give herself
But you don't know the fire which lies dormant
Inside of me
Toutes ces nuits que j'ai passees
Seule a te caresser
Il faut que tu me les rendes, me les rendes
Une a une
Toutes ces nuits toute seule dans le noir de ma chambre
A rever que tu viens me prendre
Me feras-tu encore attendre des jours, des mois
Si tu ne viens pas, ce s'ra un autre
Si ce n'est pas toi, ce s'ra ta faute
Si je regrette toute ma vie
Ma premiere nuit d'amour

All those nights I spent
Alone caressing you
You have to give them back to me, back to me
One by one
All those nights all alone in the darkness of my room
Dreaming that you would come to take me ("take me" in the sense of "make love to me")
Will you again make me wait for days, months
If it's not you, it will be another guy
If it's not you, it will be your fault
If I am sorry my whole life
About my first night of love
Trop jeune pour aimer
Qu'est-ce que ca veut dire
Lolita repond je m'en fous, je m'en fous
I love you

Too young to love
What does that mean
Lolita answers, I don't give a damn, give a damn
I love you
Je m'en fous
I love you

I don't give a dawn
I love you

Lonely


Lonely
The path you have chosen
A restless road
No turning back
One day you
Will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go
Be strong

Follow you heart
Let you love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you

Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you.

All alone
You will go away all alone
Your heart open
To the universe
Follow your quest
Without looking back
Don't wait
For day
to break

Follow your star
Go to wherever your dream takes you
One day you will touch it
If you believe, if you believe, if you believe
In you

Follow the light
Don't put out the flame that you carry
Deep inside you, remember
That I believe, that I believe, that I believe
In you

Someday I'll find you
Someday you'll find me too
And when I hold you close
I'll know that is true

Follow your heart
Let you love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you

Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
