Aigues Mortes
Ataraxia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

L'absence eternelle,
L'insolite mystere,
ritual, le froid avec
ses silences de faux,
mille sepulcres pour dispuatre,
Aigues Mortes, Aigues Mortes.
Solitude sterile des doleurs, defiles
nocturnes et triste j'erre, vide
nenie et je meurs, mille sepulcres




pour dispuatre, Aigues Mortes,
Aigues Mortes.

The singer then mentions the desolate solitude of sufferings, stating that they wander around in a sad and nocturnal parade, feeling empty and dying.
