Par les paupières [English translation]

Eyelids are often heavy.

You1'd better close them one day.

And so I sing boredom between the lines

of the whimsical slingshots.

Please, blink.

I am away, I dive, into my nursey rhymes.

I need the pupil, by way of straitjacket

You turn me inot a firelfly

Soon as you think i'm prettier, don't go, that isolates me2

You konw nothing but si, la, sol3

A mask is not the way4

with yeasterday's words.

A stare hidden behind the eyelids

is the way.

I feel able to stop

the rain today.

THis summer, the sky is a comedian

The sandman

went away without wishing good night

Too bad, my sleep is that of a Gipsy.

Crossing the hemisphere

riding the light

You become my heliport

Roaming the uinivers all along your eyelids

Coming back before dawn

A mask is not the way

with yeasterday's words.

A stare hidden behind the eyelids

is the way.

With your eyelids closed you see nothing dark

I am your plaything

By your side I'm losing my dreams

Eyelids closed

A dust of shadow

I am your plaything

By your side I'm losing my dreams

A mask is not the way

with yeasterday's words.

A stare hidden behind the eyelids

is the way.

1. it is not clear whether this impersonal form refers to her or him. These lyrics make so little sense, your guess is as good as mine2. terrible pun on "camisole / ça m'isole". Te pronunciation is not even the same ("kameezol"/"sameezol")3. French notation for B A G notes4. lit. "a mask is not the mean necessary for this". That makes little or no sense in French anyway
