Got the sun stuck in my eye
It's shouting from the river
Then it leaps back in the sky
Prenons la mer
Sur les vagues solaires --
Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere*
*Translation:
"Let us take to the sea
On waves of sunlight
You and I among the spirits of light"
This morning in the past
Y'know I felt like broken glass
Now I'm feeling all right
Knife-sharp as a winter night
Prenons la mer
Sur les vagues solaires --
Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere
J'ai reve que les abeilles
Etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil
Et au ciel des bombardiers
Pechaient pour nos ames irisees**
**Translation:
"I dreamt that the bees
Were drops of blood from the sun
And the bombers in the sky
Were trawling for our iridescent souls"
Prenons la mer
Sur les vagues solaires --
Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere
Smoky afternoon light Got the sun stuck in my eye It's shouting from the river Then it leaps back in the sky Prenons la mer Sur les vagues solaires -- Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere* *Translation: "Let us take to the sea On waves of sunlight You and I among the spirits of light" This morning in the past Y'know I felt like broken glass Now I'm feeling all right Knife-sharp as a winter night Prenons la mer Sur les vagues solaires -- Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere J'ai reve que les abeilles Etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil Et au ciel des bombardiers Pechaient pour nos ames irisees** **Translation: "I dreamt that the bees Were drops of blood from the sun And the bombers in the sky Were trawling for our iridescent souls" Prenons la mer Sur les vagues solaires -- Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere Explain Request ×
