Альбом Stereolab

ah c'est un travail que cet
amour qui fait souffrir
Qui frustre quand on n'arrive
pas a s'ouvrir

Le carcan le control semblent
alors plus faciles
Ne reservent pourtant que des
temps difficiles

On le force on le crie
on cherche à l'exprimer, l'exorciser
Dans un effort de détente
de laisser aller, laisser aller

Quand l'amour prévaut il invite
à la transformation
La volonte de puissance n'est
que fait évanescent.

C'est la tentation
D'être toute absorbée
De n'avoir plus à se soucier
du temps de notre vie
C'est la peur de vivre,
d'aller jusqu'au bout
Celle aussi d'aller à la rencontre
de sa finitude
C'est la tentation
De nier le présent
Parce que c'est justement lui
qui est insaisissable
Se voiler la face,
plutôt que d'être claire
Ne point vouloir embrasser son
état de solitude

Mon arbre est tout fleuri
Pourtant il fait encore très
froid dehors

LyricsOn en attend des fruits
Les nouriciers
Qui rendent beau et fort

Il est comme ma vie
Des fois morose
D'autres fois haut en couleurs

Assise sous l'arbre en fleur
Au creux de l'ombre
De la lumière, du bonheur

Look in the mirror that's held out
See the spot that concerns us all
The universal place
Common ground, common space

Have to go through so much violence
To get to that forsaken place
Via this paradox
That space can be attained

Gone the torments, uncertainties
Place where we finally
Agree

People are pressed,
Liberties crushed
Shouldn't it resound
Cry of our soul?
It is so faint I can't hear it
I know it's there
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere

Men could ask for happiness
They could ask for brotherhood
When we were not a lonely crowd
Natural was impersonal,
was non individual
Where strangers were not a threat
but more of a potential
Public space was wide open
The relevance was action

Beyond the cry,
lies the meaning
Common language
of belonging
It is throttled, it is confused
Has to be there
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere...

The beauty of this creature could only be equalled by
the extent of its paradox only be equalled by
because it wanted two things
opposite and conflicted

It wanted the light, it wanted everything in sight
wanted to dominate or at least to participate
idling in the comfort
of its chair and its slippers

The curiosity of the extraordinary creature
was indeed limited because it could not suffer
the unknown, in any shape or form
at the same time it wanted to look everywhere

Set up in its seat at the top of its tower
the creature revelled in being a spectator
through the glass, what a glorious view
relishing the gift of so much transparence

Relishing the gift of so much transparence
having had absolutely no influence.

Refusing what you are given
You want things to be the old way
Resisting the revolutions
Changes are coming anyway

Unable to thrive to change
The mask doesn't veil anymore
Strip yourself of all your riddles
Do not reject all the lessons

You're not a child anymore
You're not your former self
And what's reality now?
The tools you've used to get by
Aren't the keys to your tomorrows

The wind is blowing
The sea is shifting
The storm is rumbling
Darkness descending
The gales are sweeping
The waves threatening
Horizon is grim
Tempest arriving

Hey skipper, look ahead, navigate
Hey skipper, look ahead, navigate
Hey skipper, use your head, manoeuvre
Hey skipper, look ahead, navigate

Oh the winds can blow but
your sails can defeat it
The storms may rumble,
we all know your hull is fit

That sea is rough now
Mind you do not slip
Could destroy your ship
Put a nail in it

When darkness descends,
Your radar will be your sight
The waves may unleash,
your mast will stay standing high

You are the captain
Do you feel equipped?
You have now taken
The helm of your ship.

When two people have a project
they begin a competition
In which there will be a winner and a loser
State of dominance over one or the other

This dominance is integral to
all human's ways and actions
The necessity to keep at disposition
An object or being desired by another

Knowing through training that he wants to keep it
Learning everyday, he will have to dominate

Our brain makes us act
behave and react
A pulsion that drives us to stay alive

Need to satisfy our fundamental needs
The nervous system enables that drive

Through consumerism, escape and struggle
LyricsAs well as inhibition

All these mechanisms that preserve balance
Biological well being

Seems that until now we have used our brain
Just to dominate, just to dominate

Knowing through training that he wants to keep it
Learning everyday, he will have to dominate
When two people have a project
they begin a competition

We've to widen the knowledge of
how our brain works to understand
Or nothing will, will ever change
(?)Will to an end

Give birth without seizing
Act and except nothing
They flower let them free
Unite with the dust and be

Give birth without seizing
Act and except nothing
They flower let them free
Unite with the dust and be.

Tout est finitude
et recommencement
la nature a des cycles
éternel changement

Ça c'est fini, c'est bien fini
oui c'est fini maintenant
C'est ça la vie qui continue
au travers du changement

Il a choisi la vie
la vitesse c'est fini
pourtant on s'aimait
mais on se déchirait

C'est bien fini, oui c'est fini
la vie avec mon amant
C'est ça la vie qui continue
au travers du changement

Tout est finitude et recommencement

Tout est finitude et recommencement

On ne joue pas avec la liberté
Elle ne se divise pas tout comme l'égalité
Elle ne peut être achetée, négociée
Ni échangée contre de la sécurité

Au diable vos lois qui appriment nos peuples
Mettent en péril nos civilisations

Puissances despotiques
veulent codifier leur domination
La déguiser en ordre naturel
Maintenant c'est aux hommes de mener leur combat
De créer un idéal de liberté, de justice.

In this mess,
precious dust
Gather strength, softness
Guard the gods
guard the judges
Din of geometric chaos
The chaos

What a mess
The precious dust
Gather strength and softness
Guard the gods
guard the judges
And contort the geometric
The chaos

What a mess
The precious dust
Gather strength, the softness
Guard the gods
The judges
LyricsContort the geometric chaos


The joy to love
To know to learn
Are the essence
Of existence,
And so couldn't they
Govern it too?
To open up,
[??face to a work??]
The joy to love
To know to learn
Are the essence
Of existence,
And so couldn't they
Govern it too?
The joy to love
To open up.
