Le Temps Perdu

I suggest to you
The time of cherries and roses
The time of silky caresses
Let's give time to the sweetness of things

And if you feel like it
Let's take the time to be silent
To entwine our breaths and tongues
Let's take time for important things

And let ourselves be overturned carried caressed
by lost time
Let's stay calm motionless without a flutter of wings
without a blink of an eye

And against the implacable
Against the devil's racket
Let's find time for the impossible
For the unexpected for the unpredictable

And against the ephemeral
Against the first cruelty
Against the marble of our tombs
Let's take all our time every second

And let ourselves be overturned carried caressed by the sweet lost time

Our lives lengthen and suddenly there they are in our hands
All alive all warm all naked
I suggest to you
To find again the time of roses
The time of silky caresses
Let's give time to the sweetness of things

Yes I suggest to you
To find again the time of roses
The time of silky caresses
Let's take time for the sweetness of things.
