Les bruits de la ville [English translation]

You'll see this is your chance.

People come here and everything changes.

Amongst the sounds of the city.

You arrived all shy.

Lost in the background.

You were shaken up, your eyes hungry

for all the flavours of the city

which called you into them.

Solid and without pity,

pedestrians flooded the alleys

flowing like a river

hurrying to find its centre.

You take a chance and with one leap.

You blend into the crowd

which carries you on its way

like a feather in a blizzard.

So far away that all of a sudden you panic.

You feel your feet leave the ground

and your heart takes flight.

Alone.

In the early morning.

Like a sailor on a beach

washed ashore by a wave.

You hear the avalanche

of an army of busy souls who hurl themselves forward

shaking your whole body.

Of course you'll make it this time.

You take a chance and with one leap.

You blend into the crowd

which carries you on its way

like a feather in a blizzard.

So far away that all of a sudden you panic.

You feel your feet leave the ground

and your heart takes flight.

Everything spins around you so quickly.

The sound and the colours

all mix together and your heart jumps again.

When you close your eyes

lost without anything to hold on to.

You're like a tadpole

lost in the middle of a coral reef

and the city draws us into its depths

and you go off the rails.

Locked in a spiral.

You unfurl the sails.

Ready for battle.

You'll see this is your chance.

People come here and everything changes.

Amongst the sounds of the city.

You arrived all shy.

Lost in the background.

You were shaken up, your eyes hungry

for all the flavours of the city

which called you into them.

which called you into them.
