lyrics
CHEVAUX
Chevaux boueux courant jusqu’à leur mort
pour le plaisir de la société.
Société qui elle-même court après sa mort
pour le plaisir de l’économie.
Le cheval numéro un est un grand étalon noir
qui porte bien sa tristesse,
j’aimerais dormir dans ses bras.
Il me fait penser à ceux et celles
qui ne s’attendent à rien,
c’est un cheval à toute épreuve.
Le cheval numéro deux
cheval boiteux,
vieil homme solitaire
qui a perdu l’envie d’aimer.
Je m’attende à ce qu’il dure.
Sa mort sera lente.
Il ne connait plus personne,
il n’a plus aucun souci.
La jument numéro trois,
elle prend tout au sérieux,
elle s’est attelée de la misère des gens.
Ça ralentit, ça essouffle, ça énerve le coeur,
mais elle est tellement durcie,
elle sera fière jusqu’au bout.
Le quatrième cheval a l’air d’avoir soif.
Sa grosse langue sèche pend à sa droite.
Il a le goût de vivre, il est intéressé.
Il suit à distance tous les autres chevaux.
Qu’il est beau! Qu’il est blond
le cheval numéro cinq!
Avec tous ses rubans il ressemble au soleil!
Il émet une chaleur, un charme redoutable,
très populaire, il court presqu’à perte de vue...
J’ai misé tout mon argent sur le sixième cheval,
cheval adolescent qui fonçait vers l’éternité.
Un mauvais présage, une arrogance forcée.
Un vent du nord, une famille déchirée
C’est le numéro sept qui est mort en premier,
cheval pollué qui s’arrachait les poumons.
Il était jaune et malade, il est tombé sur le côté.
Le plus grand des nuages est venu le chercher.
(translation)
CHEVAUX (horses): Muddy horses running until their death for the pleasure of society. Society itself running after its death for the pleasure of the economy. Horse number one is a great black stallion who wears his sadness well, I would like to sleep in his arms. He reminds me of all the people who expect nothing, a full-proof horse. Horse number two, limping horse, old solitary man who has lost the desire to love. I expect him to last long, his death will be slow, he cares for no one, he has no worries. Mare number three, she takes everything so seriously, she has harnessed herself with the misery of others. It slows one down, it winds one down, it overexcites one’s heart. Yet she is so tough now, she will be proud till the end. The fourth horse seems to be thirsty, his big dry tongue hangs on his right side. He has the will to live, he is interested. He keeps up with all the other horses from afar. He is so handsome, he is so blond, horse number five with all his ribbons he resembles the sun! He emits a heat, a fearsome charm. Very popular, he runs as far as the eye can see. I put down all my money on the sixth horse, an adolescent horse charging towards eternity. A bad omen, a forced arrogance. A wind from the North, a family torn apart. Number seven is the horse who died first. Polluted horse coughing up his lungs. He was yellow and sick, he fell on his side. The greatest of the clouds came and got him.
Such a special album I struggle to think of what to say about it. At times I'm afraid or put off even listening to it and sometimes its the most comforting thing in the world. I got this from a vinyl code and I only listened to that physical copy of it the morning after the night my dog died. The first time I ever lost someone that meant the world to me and it was the first time I didn't cry to it. This album is beautiful and if youre reading this, you are loved memon_dayz
