Le Chant de Colombes

The Song of Doves
I often tell myself, I don't have much choice
What's the point in searching if it's like this?
One day I have too much, one day I have none
One day too many, one day I don't know
One more day and I forget about me,
This refrain that carries me, carefree, I remember
For a moment, I forget my pain
With every step I take, I count the hours
We'll meet again in joy and without fear
I'll place my steps in a world where people respond to me
I hear the song of doves
With every step I take, I know
With every step I take
With every step I take, I try
With every step I take
Sometimes, inside it gets so dark
I hold it in, I feel the storm brewing
How can you dream without much hope?
How can you grow without even knowing?
I was sure it was enough to believe
This refrain that carries me, carefree, I remember
For a moment, I forget my pain
With every step I take, I count the hours
We'll meet again in joy and without fear
I'll place my steps in a world where people respond to me
I hear the song of doves
With every step I take, I know
With every step I take (of my steps, of my steps)
With every step I take, I try
With every step I take (of my steps, of my steps)
We'll reap what we sow
Even if I understand almost nothing
I move with the wind, as long as we love
This thread of freedom in my veins
I keep the sweet scent of it
Just for a moment, I forget my pain
With every step I take, I count the hours
We'll meet again in joy and without fear
I'll place my steps in a world where people respond to me
I hear the song of doves
With every step I take, I know
With every step I take (of my steps, of my steps)
With every step I take, I try
With every step I take (of my steps, of my steps)
With every step I take, I try
With every step I take (of my steps, of my steps)
With every step I take, I know
With every step I take
