Le rendez-vous

There were three at the meeting
Who looked at each other with wild eyes
They were three at the corner of the street
But one wasn’t expected
They were three who knew well
That one of them held in his hand
What could turn a May sky
Into a sky of mourning forever

One too many...
In that brief moment
Where a new story
Takes the place of another
One too many...
That just one outstretched arm
Can leave lying
Among the people passing by

They were three at the meeting
Who looked at each other with wild eyes
They were three who knew well
That everything rested in one hand

"How I loved her...
How she loved me...
What beautiful hours..."
Thought the one who came from the past
"How I love her...
And how she loves me...
It’s worth dying for..."
Thought the one who took his place
But her... But her...
What was she thinking?
In that moment where everything can fade away...

They were three at the meeting
Who looked at each other with wild eyes
They were three at the corner of the street
But one wasn’t expected

And that one knew very well
That the past couldn’t change anything
That the future is stronger
Stronger than everything and than death

And suddenly... the arm fell
Who could stop
A love about to be born
Happiness can still dance
And this life can sing
Who could no longer be...

They were two at the meeting
Who left happy and wild
Towards their sun without seeing the one
Who returned alone into his night...
