Benjamin Biolay "Le sommeil attendra" lyrics

Translation to:en

Le sommeil attendra

Gardons les yeux grands ouvertsSur ce point par ici, le sommeil attendraComme des statues de pierreSerrons-nous, car voici que le soleil est là

Faisons l’amour puis la guerreEntre deux corridasLe sommeil attendraRespire la brise passagèreQui s’en vient puis s’en vaCar le soleil est là

Quand rien ne va plusQue nul n’est d’accordGageons que le sommeilSaura nous attendre encoreLe fleuve est en crueL’archipel, pèle à mortJe crains que le sommeilNe sache attendre encoreAttendre encore

Gardons les yeux grands ouvertsEt nettoyons la nuit étoilée de crachatsAu loin, là-bas, c’est la guerrePar ici l’évier fuit, mais le soleil est là

Gardons les yeux grands ouvertsEt avalons la pluieLe soleil est partiFaisons le tour de la TerreCar la terre nous ennuieLe soleil est ici

Quand rien ne va plusQue nul n’est d’accordGageons que le sommeilSaura nous attendre encoreLe fleuve est en crueL’archipel, pèle à mortJe crains que le sommeilNe sache attendre encoreAttendre encore

Sleep Will Have To Wait

Let's keep our eyes wide openOn this point, over here, sleep will have to waitJust like stone statuesLet's hold each other, for the sun is here

Let's make love, and then warBetween two corridasSleep will have to waitBreathe in the passing breezeWhich comes, and then goesFor the sun is here

When everything goes wrongAnd nobody agreesLet's bet that sleepWill wait for us some moreThe river is risingThe archipelago, bared to deathI fear that sleepWon't be able to wait anymoreTo wait anymore

Let's keep our eyes wide openAnd let's clean the spit-starred nightFar away, over there, it's warOver here the sink is leaking, but the sun is here

Let's keep our eyes wide openAnd let's swallow the rainThe sun is goneLet's travel all around the worldFor the world bored usThe sun is here

When everything goes wrongAnd nobody agreesLet's bet that sleepWill wait for us some moreThe river is risingThe archipelago, bared to deathI fear that sleepWon't be able to wait anymoreTo wait anymore
