Petite valse de Narbonne plage [English translation]

The sky is blazing this morning.

I don't need anything anymore.

Pensive, the cliff

flows onto a stone pine

and cradles me comfortably

without the slightest hitch.

It's so good to take a breather,

to snatch the wind's light dress.

It's so good to listen to the ciccadas,

to breath the weather1 in,

let the silence melt,

disturb the march of the elephants2.

Solitude is beautiful,

at the whim of choosing it3.

The maidens' bridge

knows its pleasures.

Footsteps on the flagstone

disturb the peace of this moment.

I picture the wandering

of two young lovers.

It's so good to take a breather,

to snatch the wind's light dress.

It's so good to listen to the ciccadas,

to breath the weather in,

let the silence melt,

disturb the march of the elephants.

I'll leave my nest

yet another time.

I wil miss

the warmth of your bed.

It's so good to take a breather,

to snatch the wind's light dress.

It's so good to listen to the ciccadas,

to breath the weather in,

let the silence melt,

disturb the march of the elephants.

1. could also mean "time"2. I suppose she means this3. sounds just as strange in French. She might mean "as long as you can choose to be solitary", but that's not what she says
