Je n'ai pas peur de la route 00:22
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte 00:24

[English]
I'm not afraid of the road
Maybe we should see, we need to taste it
Meanders in the small of my back
And everything will be all right
The wind will carry us
Your message to the Great Bear
And the trajectory of our race
In the instant of velvet
Even if it’s useless
The wind will take it away
Everything will disappear
The wind will carry us
The caress and the shelling
This wound that pulls at us
The palace of other days
Of yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry them
Genes slung over the shoulder
Chromosomes in the atmosphere
Taxis to the galaxies
And my flying carpet, yes
The wind will take it away
Everything will disappear
The wind will carry us
That scent of our dead years
Those who can knock on your door
An infinity of destinies
We set one down, what do we keep from it?
The wind will take it away
While the tide is rising
And each one redoes his accounts
I carry in the hollow of my shadow
Dust of you
The wind will take it away
Everything will disappear
The wind will carry us
