Andada

Encantament suu rivatge

Andada furiosa, tempèsta violenta

La mar grana que brama

Los ómis que s'amassan en arrau

Holia sus la plaja

A sovaguèira, l'escur que's desvelha

L'eslama ahueca lo cèu

Luenhèc lo borromb deu tambor resona

Be qu'em brembarei, amor, lo ton nom

I know a man who loves big waves
They answer to the waves of his soul which he hides
under a surface
of gentle calm, like an ocean roaring under the
surface of a lake ..
with waves,
that a harbour can’t contain
Sitting on the cliff above it I’m watching, feeling
The ocean in me echoing to his, echoing to his
He wants to be polite and do the right thing
His weakness is his will to please
He can’t handle guilt
He lets his wife’s anger crash on him, silently
While inside him an ocean is roaring
with waves,
that a harbour can’t contain
Sitting on the cliff above it
I’m watching, feeling
The ocean in me echoing to his, echoing to his
Who can change their nature?
One can only pretend for a while
He whips himself, says he is a bad guy
Steps away from the edge, walks on the safe ground
Just long enough so she won’t take his son from him
But inside, an ocean, is roaring ...
with waves,
that a harbour can’t contain
Sitting on the cliff above it
I’m watching, feeling
The ocean in me echoing with his
Echoing with his

Sea Widow
04:28
|

|
From the blue of the sea to the blue of her eye
She scrutinises the horizon
Every time he’s at sea, the fear in her heart
Awakens until he is back
He should be home by now
She knows the moment she’s been dreading all these years has come, come, come.. He is gone.. He is .. gone
Sail over the sea
Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake
Fall into the depths of the infinite blue
that had fed them all this time
The payback was his life
The boiler on the stove is calling with a whistle
And interrupts her rêverie
She pours water in a cup and prepares tea
Holds in a sob with dignity
She won’t beak down now
The phone is ringing, a voice confirms what she’s known known, known.. He is gone.. He is.. gone
Sail over the sea
Maybe come back safe, maybe make one mistake
Fall into the depths of the infinite blue
that had fed them all this time
The payback was his life

Soulmates
03:59
|

|
In the mist of the morning
My past came meddling with my present in a dream
The elf from the Eastern Woods
was in it ..
and the words he had said
« You’re my soulmate », the strength of which
my insecurity wasn’t able
to handle then
Can one fix in the present
the mistakes of one’s past
We were too young, we had so much to learn
Will you listen to my voice now
And heal the unintentional
wounds of the past
Shall we leave the wounds
in the past?
I did feel your arms encircling my waist
I did feel your cheek against my belly
I was petrified
by so much beauty
This pure spontaneity I had petrified others with,
without knowing it
Never before had I received
The shock of it
Can one fix in the present
the mistakes of one’s past
We were too young, we had so much to learn
Will you listen to my voice now
And heal the unintentional
wounds of the past
Shall we leave
the wounds in the past?
Water’s run under the bridges, following the circle of life
is back to me now, I’m no longer stepping back
We used to laugh at the same time while watching a horror film
Our bravery was but a mask
One’s armour can go down only when one’s inner peace has grown
I wish you’ve found what you were looking for ..
Chorus

She Makes Waves
04:48
|
|||
|
She always tells the truth, how very annoying this is
In every room she enters, she attracts people to her
They try and include her in their games
But when she stays herself, they turn their heads away from her
And she leaves waves behind her
She leaves waves behind her
She’s learned, growing up, that truth and justice don’t make one
that big men can be small, that those who claim that they know don’t
that some men have no word and will lie
And when they can’t lead her on they’ll try and get rid off her
And she leaves waves behind her
She leaves waves behind her
She’s good at what she does, how very annoying this is
Success comes easy to her, at least it’s how it seems
Wives fear her when their men praise her
They’ll try and befriend her, be like her to replace her
And she leaves waves behind her
She leaves waves behind her
She makes waves by sailing on the Ocean her own way
Feeling lonely at times but if she’d dug a little deeper, she would find out that among those who despise her, some secretly love her
Wouldn’t forgive her if she turned her back on her nature
She makes waves around her,
Leaves waves behind her,
Leaves waves behind her

Roll with the Waves
04:38
|
|||
|
One step, two steps
At the bottom of the sea,
It is dark all around me
And it’s cold
until a face appears
Out of nowhere, friendly
And with a look
gives me love and support
Now there’s a meaning to being here, it doesn’t feel as cold anymore
I open up to the rolling of the waves, they want to play
I play back with them, I wasn’t born to be a rock, but ..
I was born to roll like the waves
I was born to roll with the waves
Break on the rocks and yet never break
Go up and down with the tides
And where I used to have legs there’s a Finn now there instead
I can finally swim at my own pace
And when one day, I see,
a man I like on the sea
I swim
towards his sailboat cautiously
I appear to him,
out of nowhere, timidly
And with a look,
promise infinity ..
If he will be with me,
But can he give it all to the sea,
cuz
I was born to roll like the waves
I was born to roll with the waves
Break on the rocks and yet never break
Go up and down with the tides

Rebellious Town
03:42
|
|||
|
In the town of the free minds
bibles are hidden inside furniture, people help each other
say their prayers in secrete caves
find shelter in the stone houses by the cypresses
Follow the current of the river
the freedom of the water
around the blocks of oppression ..
And never would they sell each other
They would rather choose death over
Forever loose their honour
By betraying their brothers and their faith
When Jean comes to town today
he finds out his friend was hung on the main square for heresy
None of his feelings show on his face
and the towners around him give out no fear It would feed the crows of the king
He can’t linger here, he must trade his furs
bring back food and tonight, in the cover of the cave
He’ll pray their god for their friend gone, for the freedom of thoughts
They must organise resistance, risk their lives again
Again, risk their lives

Shades of Blue
05:57
|
|||
|
I’m stepping cautiously towards the edge
I can hear big waves crashing
against the rocks
They’re reminding me, loudly, that I’m alive
and that they’re stronger
than me
I agree humbly
I agree humbly
I belong with air
but I can’t fly
I’m one with water
but I can’t dive for long
I belong here strongly and yet
I’m tiny facing the Ocean
facing the Ocean
I’m walking uphill to the lighthouse
I’ll climb the stairs then I’ll stare
into the mist
I’ll pierce though it with a beam of light
So that I can guide boats
with it
I belong with air
but I can’t fly
I’m one with water
but I can’t dive for long
I belong here strongly and yet
I’m tiny facing the Ocean
Facing the Ocean
I go back down and I take off my clothes
I walk on stones that cut deep
into my feet
I’m determined to abandon myself to the Ocean
Which attracts me
irresistibly
It’s soothing me gently
It’s rocking me softly
till the wind starts blowing strongly
then, it rocks me, harshly ..
Am I willing to take this,
be at its mercy?
It’s holding me back when I decide to swim to the shore
With the energy I have left in me
I escape from the Ocean
Escape the Ocean
Won’t submit to the Ocean
I leave the Ocean Leave the Ocean ..

une Vague
03:01
|
|||
|
Une vague parmi tant d’autres
Roule plus longuement que les autres
Son écume est plus blanche
Et son fracas plus intense
Mais au bout du trajet, Que s’entend-elle dire?
Qu’il lui faut changer Se conformer
Se modeler
Sur les autres
Se rendent-ils compte, seulement
Que lorsque mes vagues seront devenues lisses
s’en sera fini de mes océans
Se rendent-ils compte,
seulement?

Lili
04:12
|
|||
|
I ran away from home
From booze, dope and boredom
I know what I’ll become
I would like for a boat to adopt me
I know I’m not as big
As the strong men on this ship
But my power is
In my hands, in my soul
Soon my legs get stronger
No longer I fall down, when the Rebel pitches
More nests to throw and hooks to clean
And the killing on the deck begins
« Give me coffee please, so I don’t fall asleep »
Why are we killing?
Those fishes’ hearts shall beat
inside me now
- Why are you here, where are you heading to? Lili, this ain’t no place for you
- I’m heading to the end of the world, I’ll feel my legs hang in emptiness
Then I’ll fall and fly in the air Till then I want to run, always
And fish ! just like the rest of you This is where life is and I deserve to feel it too
Life
The Indian turned his head
Looked to the horizon in disapproval
The lion man said no word
But his eyes spoke to me in silence
They penetrate me
with the strength of the sailor at sea
And when he enters me I sail with him
So soon, would take my life away
- Why are you here, where are you heading to, Lili, this ain’t no place for you
- I’m heading to the end of the world I’ll feel my legs hang in emptiness
Then I’ll fall and fly in the air Till then I want to run, always
And fish ! just like the rest of you This is where life is and I deserve to feel it too
Life
I don’t want a house
I want to fly
And I want you in me again
Maybe we’ll have the ice-cream baby
Look at me with your yellow eyes My hands are in your hair
And I feel lonely when you’re gone
They said my friend drowned at sea
It is death and life Waves and the sky
I’m holding my sleeping bag tight against me
Under the stars I found it, finally
The end of the world is ..
Here

La Quest
02:15
|

|
Bats flying on the August sky after the swallows ,
before the shooting stars
This is the reward
for the tempests braved and the seeds planted
I exchange words with a friend We still hold hands
as years go by
The little girl had a dream ..
The Capt’n in me whispers now
« It happened in NYC, on the Brooklyn bridge .. »
Maybe
The second half of the quest goes west
But I am here and now
And I wonder
All I’ve known with you is waves
Will we meet in the other half?
In Saint Malo town?
Then we decide.. hey
Enjoy this August night, the Capt’n adds,
We’ll set sail whenever it feels right
I’m imprinting the feeling of peace and space
I am where love is
standing in the middle of the wind rose ..
« Enjoy it while it lasts »
My Capt’n adds
« All good things come to an end
Profitez de cette belle soirée d’Août », mon Capitaine ajoute
« Et souvenez-vous,
Toutes les meilleures choses ont une fin.. hey ! »
