The cradles
Click to see the original lyrics (French)
Along the docks, big ships
Are bent over by the swell, in silence.
Those ships don't care about the cradles
That women throw away from their own hands.
But when the day of farewell comes,
For women must cry,
And curious men
Must try to [conquer] these deluding horizons.
And on this day, those big ships
Will flee their harbour, lowering
Their heavy weights, held back by
The cradles' souls in the distance,
The cradles' souls in the distance...
