Select language to translate this lyric
I was running on the beach sheltered from the trade winds
A race with the waves, just an old score to settle
Barefoot like my ancestors ran
I saw clearly behind his glasses
A guy with a stopwatch
I came home in the evening when the waves gave up
br/>It was already late but the parents were waiting for me
There was the strange man at the table
My mother a tear, a whisper
Dollars and their signature
I took the big white Monday plane
Which we watched getting lost in infinity
I am arrived in the cold of the cities
Among tourists and cars
Far from my old life
I was touched, measured as one does a horse
I ran on a carpet, peed in a jar
Blowed into a mask with all my might
Time lapse © lots of electrodes
To go as far as I was in too much pain
They put a number on my back
Y' had people shouting, flags
We were always running in circles
Nails on both feet to scratch the earth
I used to caress her
I learned to lose, to gain over others and time
By shooting a gun, running in training
Caresing strange crowds, the podiums
And the nudges
Passion, the world and money
I was running on my beach sheltered from the trade winds
A race with the waves, just an old score to settle
Then chance crossed my life
I'm a stranger everywhere today 'today
Was it bad or good? This is how it is
