Lyrics
Les Fous de Bassan
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.
C'est par une nuit sans lune
Qu'elle s'est enfuie vers les dunes
Vers son sort
Le vent du nord
Soufflait si fort
Nul n'a revu
Son corps
Belle
Mais sans défense
Les mains nues
Folle
Comme l’espérance
Voulait-elle gagner la mer ?
Dans quel but, pour quelle chimère ?
Un corsaire
Un ange noir
Au cœur de pierre
Surgit
Un soir
Douce
Comme innocence
Sans retenue
Tuée
Par quelle violence,
Quel inconnu ?
Si belle
Si seule
Endormi dans quel linceul ?
Si pure
Si jeune
Vit-elle au ciel
L'amour éternel
Loin des cris berçants
Des fous de bassan
Loin défunte
Si loin des pièges
De l’attente
Des sortilèges
