Il Suffira D'un Signe
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Just a Sign
Just a sign is all it takes, one morning
A morning calm and serene
Something tiny, that's for sure
It's written in our books, in Latin
Torn are our rags of good-for-nothings
The chains on our ankles far, far away
You laugh, but just wait, one morning
I'll have everything that shines in my hands
Look at my life, you see it face to face
Tell me your thoughts, what do you want me to do?
We have nothing left at the end of our dead end
The moment will come, everything will change places
Just a sign is all it takes, one morning
A morning calm and serene
Something tiny, that's for sure
It's written in our books, in Latin
And you'll see that the girls, oh yes, you'll see
Will have shining eyes this morning
No more hunger, no more fatigue, just feasts
Of honey and vanilla and wine
Torn are our rags of good-for-nothings
The chains on our ankles far, far away
You laugh, but just wait, one morning
I'll have everything that shines in my hands
The steel that mutilates us, satin!
Our useless wounds in the distance
We'll turn our bars into paths
We'll change our cities into gardens
Just a sign is all it takes, one morning
A morning calm and serene
Something tiny, that's for sure
It's written in our books, in Latin
Torn are our rags of good-for-nothings
The chains on our ankles far, far away
