Daniel Balavoine partir avant les miens

Select language to translate this lyric

Small crowd dancing
Around a body falling asleep
Immense softness
For the departure of a parent
Calmly
Painted in the colors of fireworks
Smooth blues and pinks and whites
And slowly
Tender faces on the grass slide
Smiling at each other, whispering
And without the slightest torment
They celebrate my funeral
Crazy ashes and fly away
Under pale and happy eyes
And unite with the fireflies
To live one last moment
And never
Remain in suspense
And I have often wished
To leave before mine
So as not to inherit
Their flame which goes out
And go away
With the feeling
That they will live forever
And simply
Let them make the night clear
As at the fires of Midsummer
May their eyes be wide open
To celebrate my funeral
Father and mother, sisters and brothers
I love you powerfully
Send no prayer
Wherever I go I wait for you
Dust
Lives outside of time
You must stay In the light
Dance, drink as I rock
That I love you as I fall asleep
