Courage
Elista Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sur la plage, elle se fige
Les yeux à l'horizon
Un point flou se dirige
Vers de lointains bastions

Dès ce matin, que dis je?
Dès l'aube, elle comprit qu'on
Pouvait perdre courage

Comme on perd la raison

Ce que la mer érige
Interdit toute action
Par les hautes voltiges
Contre lames de fond

D'un regard elle fustige
Avec appréhension
La forme qui voyage
Dans l'autre direction

Refrain:
Quand l'avenir incertain charge
La peur des lendemains la ronge
Et son courage atteint le large
Sans lui, comment veux-tu qu'elle plonge?

En nage, panique oblige
Jusqu'à l'ébullition
Elle court comme on s'inflige
D'inutiles ambitions

Elle cherche et elle exige
Qu'on rende à sa raison
Le beau, le doux visage
Du courage en question

Et alors qu'elle néglige
Simplement l'abandon
Arrive le vertige
Bientôt l'imploration

Elle revit le prodige
D'anciennes insoumissions
Et elle longe le rivage
Son courage en amont

Refrain

Sur la plage, elle se fige
Les yeux à l'horizon
Un point flou se dirige
Vers de lointains bastions

Dès ce matin, que dis je?
Dès l'aube, elle comprit qu'on
Pouvait perdre courage
Comme on perd la raison

Refrain
