For the full calendar, go here.
They hold each others by the hand
And walk in silence
In those faded cities
which are rocked by drizzle
Only their steps ring
Hummed step by step
They walk in silence
The desperates
They have burnt their wings
They have lost their branches
Shipwrecked in such a way
That death looks white
They come back from loves
They have awaken
They walk silently
The desperates
And I know their way for having walked it
Already more than a hundred times
A hundred times more than halfway
Less old or more bruised
They are going to reach its end
They walk in silence
The desperates
And below the bridge
Water is sweet and deep
Here is the good hostess
Here is the end of the world
They cry their firstname
Like newlyweds
They melt in silence
The desperates
Let stand up the one
who throws them the stone
He only knows of love
The verb “to love oneself”
On the bridge there is nothing left
But a light mist
They are forgotten in silence
The ones who have hoped
Se tiennent par la main
Et marchent en silence
Dans ces villes éteintes
Que le crachin balance
Ne sonnent que leurs pas
Pas à pas fredonnés
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés
Ils ont brûlé leurs ailes
Ils ont perdu leurs branches
Tellement naufragés
Que la mort paraît blanche
Ils reviennent d´amour
Ils se sont réveillés
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés
Et je sais leur chemin
Pour l´avoir cheminé
Déjà plus de cent fois
Cent fois plus qu´à moitié
Moins vieux ou plus meurtris
Ils vont le terminer
Ils marchent en silence
Les désespérés
Lente sous le pont
L´eau est douce et profonde
Voici la bonne hôtesse
Voici la fin du monde
Ils pleurent leurs prénoms
Comme de jeunes mariés
Et fondent en silence
Les désespérés
Que se lève celui
Qui leur lance la pierre
Ils ne sait de l´amour
Que le verbe “s´aimer”
Sur le pont n´est plus rien
Qu´une brume légère
Ça s´oublie en silence
Ceux qui ont espéré
–Brel’s “Les désespérés” (1965)
Pogo says
@We?
Epitaphs should not be a lie too.
joe says
Anger, fear, lies are powerful forces….we’ll have to see if they are really the answers to our problems or a delusion fed to millions by a life-long con man. He promised last night to spend every bit of his strength and energy “working” for the American people – a sad joke from the man who routinely showed up in the Oval office at 11:00 am after spending the morning watching TV.
Sadly, the siren song of the demagogue feels comforting – we’ll see how it turns out.
James says
Well, all I can say is…
Congratulations President Trump!
You did it… you got the majority of the American public to vote you into office once again.
As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Fool me thrice and well… I donno… could anyone be fooled three times in a row?
Apparently so!
Good luck.
