1 I see the city again celebrating and delirium
Suffocating under the sun and under the joy
And I hear in the music the screams, the laughter
Which burst and bounce around me
br/>And, lost among these people who jostle me
dazed, distraught, I stay there
When suddenly I turn around, he steps back
And the crowd comes to throw me into his arms...
Carried away by the crowd
Who drags us, drags us along
crushed against each other
br/>We are only one body
And the flow without effort
Pushes us together in chains
And leaves us both
blissful, intoxicated and happy
Carried along by the crowd
Who rushes and dances
A crazy farandole
Our two hands remain united
And sometimes lifted
Our two entwined bodies fly away
And both fall back
fulfilled, intoxicated and happy.
2 And the joy splashed by her smile
pierces me and wells up deep inside me
But suddenly I let out a cry among the laughter
When the crowd comes to tear it away from between my arms...
Carried away by the crowd
Who drags us, drags us along
Keeps us away from each other
I struggle and I struggle
But the sound of his voice
Is choked in the laughter of others
And I cry out in pain
Of fury and of rage and I cry
And dragged by the crowd
Who rushes and dances
A crazy farandole
I am carried away
And I clench my fists
Cursing the crowd who is stealing from me
The man she gave me
And whom I never found...
