    Default

    From the album "Faux mouvement" (2000).

    Lyrics :

    Je reviens
    Je reviens, encore
    Tu n'as même pas vu
    Que j'étais partie alors
    Je suis revenue
    Comme on rentrerait au port
    Fatiguée
    De passer
    Par dessus bord

    Je reviens
    Je reviens et j'ignore
    Ce qui nous ramène
    Ce qui nous ramène au bord
    On a déjà vu
    La mer rendre certains corps
    Qu'on avait dit portés disparus

    I really love that song even if it's sooooo sad. I can't understand why on Earth a restaurant is using a so depressing song for its website, I assume that their clients don't understand it.

    If it usefull for anyone here is the translation.

    Je reviens
    (I'm coming back)
    Je reviens, encore
    (I'm coming back again)
    Tu n'as même pas vu
    (You haven't even seen)
    Que j'étais partie alors
    (that I was gone)
    Je suis revenue
    (I'm back)
    Comme on rentrerait au port
    (Like if back to the port)
    Fatiguée
    (tired..
    De passer
    ... of falling...)
    Par dessus bord
    (...overboard)

    Je reviens
    (I'm coming back)
    Je reviens et j'ignore
    (I'm coming back and I ignore...)
    Ce qui nous ramène
    (...what take us back...
    Ce qui nous ramène au bord
    (...what take us back to the shore)
    On a déjà vu
    (We already saw...
    La mer rendre certains corps
    (... the sea giving back some corps)
    Qu'on avait dit portés disparus
    (that were said to be lost in the sea)

    very very depressing but so poetical song, sounds like French poets Rimbaud or Verlaine, no?
