Comme les oiseaux [English translation]

Tell me if you want

to take a ride together,

dancing on the sea,

stepping across rivers.

Sunlight slumbering

between the trees.

Don't wait until tomorrow

for life to slip between our fingers.

Like the birds in the air

sing mysteries

we have all we need to feel good1

Wearing our souls on our sleeves.

We will climb very high

with our backpacks.

We'll see where light

is hiding on Earth.

...

On the steps of our forefathers

we're walking in the desert.

It's hard to believe

we're walking across our history.

When we get out in the country

with a confused heart

you can already see up there

the horizon getting brighter.

Like the birds in the air

sing mysteries

we have all we need to feel good

Wearing our souls on our sleeves.

We will climb very high

with our backpacks.

We'll see where light

is hiding on Earth.

...

(repeat and fade)

1. "avoit tout pour plaire" actually means "we're very attractive" but I suspect a wrong use of the expression
