Danser sous acide 01:27
Et se sentir comme une plume qui vole, qui vole au gré du vent 01:29
Je domine les montagnes 01:35
Et me dirige vers Babylone 01:37
J'veux me perdre dans le temps, je me sens Sphynx 01:39
Et je marche sur les plaines 01:43
Et je sens l'herbe douce qui caresse la plante de mes pieds 01:47
Il y a des femmes au loin 01:52
Je veux danser avec elles 01:55
Elles me prennent par la main et nous faisons la farandole 01:57
Moi je viens de Bethléem et toi du Nord 02:01

Baiser Khazar 03:46
C'est "keum" des frères 03:49
Sous l'oeil bienveillant du Sphynx 03:51
Avec leurs yeux de lynx 03:54
Ils dansent sous les étoiles 03:57
Ils "firment" au fond de l'âme 03:59
Et se délectent à tour normal 04:01
Sphinx, Sphinx tourne! Emporte moi! 04:04
Et guide moi sur le chemin 04:08
Qui nous emmènera au loin 04:12
À mille et une années lumière 04:14
Et nous durerons dans le temps, nous serons Sphynx 04:17

[English]
Dancing on acid
And feeling like a feather that flies, that flies in the wind
I dominate the mountains
And head towards Babylon
I want to lose myself in time, I feel like a Sphinx
And I walk on the plains
And I feel the soft grass caressing the soles of my feet
There are women in the distance
I want to dance with them
They take me by the hand and we dance in a chain
I come from Bethlehem and you from the North
But it doesn't matter because we are brothers and sisters
We are One with the Universe
Like the stars that burn in my heart
(Sphinx)
...
Khazar kiss
It's "dude" with the brothers
Under the benevolent eye of the Sphinx
With their lynx eyes
They dance under the stars
They "firm" deep in the soul
And indulge in turn normally
Sphinx, Sphinx spin! Take me away!
And guide me on the path
That will take us far away
A thousand and one light years
And we will last in time, we will be Sphinx
...
