Sing love

Finally the calm the silence
The night slips to my knees
Is that the owl (without feathers on its head) or the owl (with feathers on its head)
This tensed up cry of iron throws itself
Nothing more metamorphoses
My life freezes all at once
It looks like when I compose
That I play my last asset
 
Sing sing sing
Sing sing sing
Sing sing
Sing love out loud
 
A butterfly knocks into the window pane
With a stubborn ardor
A light below the nose
And we here clowning around
To each their lamp their source
To each their dancing master
Remember me above your Great Bear
Oh my love of whom I was born
 
Sing sing sing
Sing sing sing
Sing sing
Sing love out loud
 
Far away the lights turn on
This paper that reaches out my arm
Each time that I hold the pen
I shake in fear and from cold
I go I hesitate and I back away
Who wants to run away from me
What is this fire that burns me
Which sounds the hour to this belfry
 
Sing sing sing
Sing sing sing
Sing sing
Sing love out loud
 
The time spreads out under the climbing vine
The pencil slips from my fingers
When your passing dress awakens me
Love is like it comes from silk
Children play hopskotch
Outside the rain snaps its fingers
Your lips pass in the noise of wings
I never loved you
 
Sing sing sing
Sing sing sing
Sing sing
Sing love out loud
