MAURANE - Il faut tourner la page

Maurane interprète "il faut tourner la page" lors du premier concert anniversaire de Claude Nougaro le 9 septembre 2004, à Toulouse

One has to make a fresh start (literally "turn the page over")

A change of scenery
Set one foot on the bank
Virgin
One needs to put things behind us
Reach the other shore
Unknown coastline
Bare
And there, embrace the tree
The marble post
Flying out into the sky
So you leave the Earth
For a solitary place
A star-studded place
One has to make a fresh start

Become simple again
Just like these holy souls
That can tell you with one look
Better
Than all those smooth talkers
And self-righteous preachers
Falsifiers of god

One has to make a fresh start
Throw away the old book
The old book of specifications
Oh yeah!
One has to keep silent
Pierced by a spear
That gets blood to trickle
White blood

One has to make a fresh start
Tread on the shore
Where nothing is fake
Welcome the mystery
Smile
And fall silent...
