C'est Dire

That's to say

C'est Dire

It's time to sayC'est le moment de dire
That clouds at their worstQue les nuages au pire
Are always animalsSont toujours animaux
That dreams are made of skinQue les rêves sont en peau

That there is no sighQu'il n'est pas un soupir
Which further inspires usQui plus loin nous inspire
That to find the wordsQue pour trouver les mots
We start from scratchNous partons à zéro

That's to say, that's to sayC'est dire, c'est dire

It's time to sayC'est le moment de dire
That tears without laughterQue les larmes sans rire
Have a taste of the oceanOnt un goût d'océan
To salt loversPour saler les amants

That the night knows how to sleepQue la nuit sait dormir
And sirens fleeEt les sirènes s'enfuir
Its frames are made of waterSes cadres sont en eau
That is to say they had a close callC'est dire qu'ils ont eu chaud

That's to say, that's to sayC'est dire, c'est dire

It's time to sayC'est le moment de dire
That black holes suckQue les trous noirs aspirent
Indigo colorsDes couleurs indigos
That we never love too muchQue l'on n'aime jamais trop

That by dint of smilingQu'à force de sourire
It's flowers that we attractC'est des fleurs qu'on attire
That we only know rimbaudQu'on ne connaît Rimbaud
In photos and wordsQu'en photos et en mots

That's to say, that's to sayC'est dire, c'est dire
That dreams can be enoughQue les rêves peuvent suffire

It's time to sayC'est le moment de dire
That the Moon knows lieQue la lune sait mentir
The croissant for fakesLe croissant pour de faux
The past is up thereLe passé est en haut

Let the sea retreatQue la mer se retire
So that we can feedPour pouvoir nous nourrir
From its lovers' raftsDe ses amants radeaux
We will never be too manyNous n'serons jamais trop

That's to say, that's to sayC'est dire, c'est dire
That dreams can be enoughQue les rêves peuvent suffire
