Tourner la page

Zaho (Zehira Darabid) is my very favourite French artist, even though i don't fully understand everything the first time i listen to her songs... (thank God for google translate), i simply adore her songs. She has such a beautiful voice and is so talented.

Here's a you-tube link to one of her songs that am totally loving at the moment, Tourner la page (Turn the page) and a translation of the lyrics. I tried to get the best translation so some parts might not make perfect sense.

I saw on my way to full landscape
With words I paint pictures
Out of my cage, mounted on one floor 

 Today I fly in the clouds

I let life take me, I let my pen carry me
It is not so easy to turn the page.
When this escapes me and makes me nervous
I sigh and say damage
I stop for a moment, just for a song
I caught the fickle weather

I let life take me, I let my pen carry me
My joys and sorrows
I let life take me, I let my pen carry me
I expect this wave that calls me
To forgive the dumb words, time flows through the hourglass
To forget, do not bend, I advance without knowing where I'm going.

 I try to turn the page (x6)

Drunk as a poet, free like a seagull
I accompany the lonely off
In an ocean of dreams, in good weather or storm
I put my shadow and I swim

I let life take me, I let my pen carry me, it's not so easy to turn the page

To those who listen to me and without giving a total
I am writing to tell you courage.
To those who listen to me even when I doubt
I sing thank you I love you when I'm loose

I let life take me, I let my pen carry me
My joys and sorrows
I let life take me, I let my pen carry me
I expect this wave that calls me
To forgive the dumb words, time flows through the hourglass
To forget, do not bend, I advance without knowing where I'm going.

 I try to turn the page (x6)

I saw on my way to full landscape
With words I paint pictures
I saw on my way to full landscape
With words I paint faces
I saw on my way to full landscape
With words I salute
