Hear me when I say
No no ohoo
Feel it in your chest
Have it in your mind
With joy around your heart
Wooooo hooo

You have it in abundance
Claim it in his presence
Supply it in holy grail
Choose in the sky a star
To live on it
This too shall pass
You’ll emerge strong
And brighter
Use bad times
To build your power
Feel it in your chest
Have it in your mind
With joy around your heart
Woohoo ohooo

Les sons du silence}
Bonjour Obscurité, ma vieille amie,
Je suis revenu discuter avec toi,
Car une vision s'insinuant doucement en moi
A semé ses graines pendant que je dormais.
Et la vision plantée dans mon esprit
Demeure encore,
Au cœur du son du silence.
Dans mes rêves agités, j'ai arpenté seul
D'étroites rues pavées,
Sous le halo d'un réverbère.
J'avais rabattu mon col dans le froid et l'humidité
Lorsque mes yeux ont été poignardés par l'éclat d'un
néon,
Qui déchirait la nuit,
Et effleurait le son du silence.
Et dans cette lumière pure, j'ai vu
Dix mille personnes, peut-être plus,
Des personnes qui discutaient sans se parler,
Des personnes qui entendaient sans écouter,
Des personnes qui écrivaient des chansons, qu'aucune voix
jamais ne partagea.
Mais personne n'osait
Troubler le son du silence.
"Imbéciles, dis-je, vous ignorez donc
Que le silence, tel le cancer, se propage ?
Entendez mes paroles pour que je puisse vous apprendre,
Prenez mes bras pour que je puisse vous atteindre."
Mais mes paroles, comme de silencieuses gouttes de pluie
sont tombées
Et ont raisonné dans les puits du silence.
Et les gens se sont inclinés et ont prié
Le Dieu lumineux qu'ils avaient créé.
Et le panneau s'éclairant soudainement nous avertit,
Grâce aux mots qu'il faisait apparaitre.
Et le panneau nous disait : " Les paroles des prophètes
sont écrites sur les murs du métro,
Et dans les entrées des immeubles,
Et sont murmurées dans le son du silence."
Paul Martos
This is one of the most beautiful songs by a folk-rock duo known for beautiful songs. I especially love "Scarborough Fair", an amazingly gorgeous song.
