Plume [English translation]

Heavy as a feather

[First verse]

I'd like to be as contemporary as timeless

For that I'll contemplate the sky

I'm of those who keep their ears open

Not of those who wait for nothing

There was no one when we wept

It's the massacre that reality brings

Since it's God that takes away the dream

My Lord it was for that that we implored you

I see the reamains of good will

In my blended heart

Taken away by a crow, embodied by your body

I could still cry

But now I'm just a remote-controlled missile

That you armed when you decided to leave me

I don't know who you are anymore, but it's

Totally my fault, you're completely wrong

If you think that boys go to the club to danc

WE think you have time to make it right

When we have to hurry, among those who we made give in

How many want to confess sins?

I foresaw that some would use a shrink's help, uh

We are all entitled to this redemption

[Chorus]

So I married my quill

To face storms and push away the mist

There's only one and it absorbs me

Like the drop of ink on which I put the emphasis

I'm here but I'm absent, yeah

I married my quill

[Second verse]

Tonight for my sailors there will be no dinner and dance

We'll share a bottle that we'll pass around in the center

Yeah, we like to be together, all year round, people feel it

Attracted to violence because we were born in blood

No deals made with cowards

Those we had when I had nothing

Except for my struggling friends, those that we boo with axes

Alone in my cabin, eyes on my avenue

I'm thinking about all of those who got caught

The wheel of fortune doesn't turn anymore, there's probably a steering wheel lock

I'm thinking about you my brother who married his quill

Dusted your armor and pushed away the mist

Harmful liquid in your water bottle as soon as the crisis damages you

And when you write these lines

Stars align outside your chrysalis

Blessed be the one that embelishes your sky

Even in the carceral horror

When your painful mistakes are surrounding you

And when evil grips you

You have an honest woman, you're now sure of it

Because in your eyes the flames danced

Be strong, you who married your quill

If it's the only one that you liked

If your ways don't part anymore

[Second chorus]

Me, she absorbs me like the drop of ink on which I put the emphasis

I'm here but I'm absent, it's true

I'm not really here anymore since I married my quill

To face storms and push away the mist

There's only one and it absorbs me

I'm here but I'm absent, uh

[Third verse]

If I was a sailor I would raise anchor and

My glass of rum and I'd sing

To the glory of women in low-cut dresses

There are some that I forget quickly and I run like a coward

But you, you left, leaving me white as a sheet facing the empty bed

If you let the flame die, I'd die first

Don't forget that forgiveness feeds on confession

With a scrutinizing eye, every passerby watches our fights

But, it's none of their business, love is blind

Nothing is more dangerous than a girl with a broken heart

But you hatred it's my only light in this tunnel

Because if you hate me you love me

I didn't cut you any slack, apparently

You fell for another to destroy me

You tell me that your heart is taken and then

We make love, you find it evil and insane

And your lover is surprisingly more magnetic than a loving husband

[Outro]

You know, me, I married this quill

It keeps me from loving you

It keeps me from writing that we don't love each other anymore

I married this quill

It keeps me from loving you

It keeps me from writing that we don't love each other anymore
