Lyrics
L'essentiel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Puis une nuit d' hiver, dans la rue , quelqu'un marche
On sonne, et une voix chuchote dans l' entrée
Oh, cette voix, mon Dieu ! On comprend, on tressaille
Vite, un peu, on remet de l'ordre dans les faits
C'est un champ de bataille et un jardin défait
La tête , un port dévasté, un lit de malade
Une capitale bombardée qui renaît
Et des navires sans pavillon dans la rade
Je ne sais où, je ne sais où, dans quelle enfance
Ou dans quelle nuit de quel futur j'entendis
Ou dans quel continent perdu de l'espérance
Cette voix murmurant dans l'entrée
"Tout est dit"
