Lyrics: Something, someone, Far away, maybe close, Yes, something, yes, someone, Calling you, maybe no one. Yes, it will pass, it's a sickness, As it came, you can make it go away, Freckles disappear From a beautiful teenage memory here You swallow a bit of bitterness and sweetness Like evenings in a small town. To something, to someone, I have to think of a fragrance, Maybe go, maybe love, What is love? It's silently listening to the moon, It's losing you and suffering without making a sound, Love is you, a slowed-down awakening of a flower, Loving more is a sweet madness, it's also partly my fault That I love you more. Like a sparrow on a tree Waiting for a shot to throw itself down Towards the earth and its scent That too often smells of war and smoke, And meanwhile, it goes on and it grows, The deluded one, nothing ever ends. And something and someone Approaches with its poison, New and ancient, asks for little, It seems like a game, I don't know what to do, Maybe go, maybe love... What is love? It's silently listening to the moon, It's losing you and suffering without making a sound, Love is you, a slowed-down awakening of a flower, Loving more is a sweet madness, it's also partly my fault That I love you more.
