Calogero "Avant toi" lyrics

Translation to:enfilvtr

Avant toi

C'est des jours entiersPloyer sous un fardeauJamais légerToujours courber le dosAvant toiAvant toi laisse moi te dire queC'est traîner des piedsC'est exister à peineDésespérerQue quelque chose advienneAvant toiAvant toi laisse moi te dire

Avant toi c'était quoiSinon un préambuleUn long chemin de croixPuis tout basculeAvant toi c'était rienOu si peu que mon corpsAvant toi se souvientDe s'être senti mort

C'est se démenerChanter dans le désertPour qui c'étaitTous ces vers, tous ces airsAvant toiAvant toi laisse moi te dire

Avant toi c'était quoiUn répétitionDe mots de gestes lasPuis l'explosionAvant toi c'était rienOu si peu que mes brasN'avaient jamais étreintQue du vide et du froid

Avant toi c'était quoiSinon un préambuleUn long chemin de croixPuis tout basculeAvant toi c'était rienOu si peu que mon corpsAvant toi se souvientDe s'être senti mort

Avant toi c'était quoiJuste une scène immenseBien trop vaste pour moiEt puis tout danseAvant toi c'était rienOu si peu que ma vieCommença le matinDu jour où je te vis

Before you

There are whole dayswhen I'm drowning under a load.Never making it through,always turning my backbefore you.Before you, let me tell you thatthis means to train legs,to acknowledge the pain,to be in despair,that something else occursbefore you do.Before you speak, let me tell you.

Before you came, there was something.Probably a prelude,a long golgothatoo harsh.Before you [came], there was nothingor something smaller than my body.Before you [come in], it recalls in its memorythat it feels dead inside.

This means to battle yourself,to sing within the desertfor everything existing.All these sights, all these winds.Before you.Before you speak, let me tell you.

Before you came, there was something,a routineof empty words.And then, the explosion.Before you, there was nothing,not even my knees.They've never feltso much empty or cold.

Before you came, there was something.Probably a prelude,a long golgothatoo harsh.Before you [came], there was nothingor something smaller than my body.Before you [come in], it recalls in its memorythat it feels dead inside.

Before you, there was something,an immense scene in particular.Too vast for meand with much dance afterwards.Before you, there wasn't anythingor any reason my lifestarted every morningor everyday to see you.
