Indochine je n embrasse pas

opposite the port
there were the forts
the black boat
anchored at the ramparts
and I could only see
that every night
I wanted it
I walked
In remote places
I was afraid to pass into this world
Behind the lighthouse
a little at random
in the light
and welcome to land
you know that sailors like dolphins
and even if I know
that 'it is ephemeral
and even without regret
I keep my eyes open
you see that they are no longer afraid of you and of us
I don't kiss
no I don't kiss like that
but life is beautiful
forgive me
forgive me dear friend
of the homeland
as a sign
as a sign of survival
and give me to your king
I keep within me
that I keep with me
a little life, a little desire
and I waited
according to the arrivals
for the ghosts
to leave their kingdoms
and to satisfy all their desires tomorrow
and from the shore
I saw the stranger
in the clouds
it was my freedom
and that one fine day finally
it will be love
I don't kiss
no I don't kiss like that
but it's beautiful life
forgive me
forgive me dear friend
of the homeland
as a sign
as a sign of survival
and give me your king
I keep within me
that I keep with me
a little bit of life a little bit of desire
