Elle Est Comme L'etoiles

Some speak to the crowd
And others speak to the desert
How many words flow
About time, about money, about war

Some speak of the East
And others of the USSR
Of the Bible or the Quran
Of paradise, of express happiness

Some speak of borders
And hope
My mother
Makes silence speak

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but says nothing
She is like the stars
She gives her light and asks for nothing

The prophets in the headlines
Make and unmake destiny
The chosen ones on the platforms
Always have the formula for tomorrow
Some speak of the earth
Of non-violence
My mother
Makes silence speak

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but says nothing
She is like the stars
She gives her light and asks for nothing

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but never says anything
She is like the stars
She asks for nothing

Some abandon you
Others come and desire you
But as soon as you love a man
The most beautiful is impossible to say
Some speak of love, of tolerance
My mother makes silence speak

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but says nothing
She is like the stars
She gives her light and asks for nothing

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but never says anything
She is like the stars
She asks for nothing

She is like the stars
She knows a lot but says nothing
She is like the stars
She gives her light and asks for nothing
