La Tour de Babel [English translation]

She said "maybe"

He thought "tomorrow"

Often, between one being and another

The path falls away

The crowd is too big

For comebacks

And our bodies surrender

To other loves

They piled stone on stone, between earth and heaven

They constructed with their hands the Tower of Babel

He shouted "give"

The other said "too late"

At that time, between men and men

There was no more sight

The earth is too big

And men are deaf

And our hands reach

Always open

They piled stone on stone, between earth and heaven

They constructed with their hands the Tower of Babel

For a word which proclaims

A word out of place

There will be flames

Throughout the universe

The mouths are big

For beautiful rhetoric

But the skins sell

The skins of drums

One day our languages

WIll speak of flowers

And marriage

Of four colours

Will you know enough to understand

That they speak of love?

I'll wait for you

At the foot of the Tower

Meanwhile, Cain is still hunting Abel

But I've constructed with my hands the Tower of Babel
