Salomé Leclerc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
passé l'hiver à chercher la lumière.
Je ne peux pas dire comment je suis restée,
le visage noyé.
Le temps est long.
Quand on ne voit rien,
le temps est long.
Un tourbillon sans borne ni repère.
Je ne peux pas dire comment je m'en suis sortie.
Comment vont les enfants?
Le monde est grand.
Quand on est loin,
le monde est grand.
