Il y a [English translation]

There's a painting over there

With birds, a purpose

Struggling against the wind

There are edges over there

Distances, your allure/pace

When you're walking straight ahead

There are some cracks over there

Some closed locks

As the kites flew

There's the literature over there

The lack of momentum

The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things

As they are

Wondering why

Sometimes, we look at them

As they may be

Saying to ourselves, why not?

There's

If we take the time

If we take the time

There's the literature over there

The lack of momentum

The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things

As they are

Wondering why

Sometimes, we look at them

As they may be

Saying to ourselves, why not?

There are the mysteries,

The silence under the sea

Fighting against time

There are edges over there

Distances, your allure/pace

When you're walking straight ahead

There's the whispering

A sigh, an adventure

Just as tangled kites

There's the literature over there

The lack of momentum

The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things

As they are

Wondering why

Sometimes, we look at them

As they may be

Saying to ourselves, why not?

Sometimes we look at the things

As they are

Wondering why

Sometimes, we look at them

As they may be

Saying to ourselves, why not?
