Lyrics
Les Poêtes
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.
Je ne sais ce qui me possède
Et me pousse à dire à voix haute
Ni pour la pitié ni pour l'aide
Ni comme on avouerait ses fautes
Ce qui m'habite et qui m'obsède
Celui qui chante se torture
Quels cris en moi quel animal
Je tue ou quelle créature
Au nom du bien au nom du mal
Seuls le savent ceux qui se turent
Machado dort à Collioure
Trois pas suffirent hors d'Espagne
Que le ciel pour lui se fît lourd
Il s'assit dans cette campagne
Et ferma les yeux pour toujours
Au-dessus des eaux et des plaines
Au-dessus des toits des collines
Un plain-chant monte à gorge pleine
Est-ce vers l'étoile H
