Je Viens Du Sud

I have in my heart, somewhere
Some melancholy
Mix of barbarian blood
And wine from Italy
A wedding in the countryside
Pulled by two horses
A path in the mountain
To go fetch the water
I have deep in my memory
Lights from the past
That a very old woman in black
Illuminated for me
A house all in stones
That the sea has eroded
Above a cemetery
Where the crosses are leaning

I come from the south
And by all the roads
I return there

I have in my voice, some evenings
Something that screams
Mix of a barbarian song
And an Italian sky
Monumental angers
That the winds have blown to me
Endless speeches
After lunch

I come from the south
And by all the roads
I return there

I have somewhere in my heart
Some melancholy
The desire to set right
The clocks of my life
A path in the mountain
When I will need water
A garden in the countryside
For my days of rest
A house all in stones
That the sea has eroded
Above a cemetery
Where my father is laid to rest

I come from the south
And by all the roads
I return there
And by all the roads
I return there
