lyrics

la première menace

la première menace vient dans la nuit
tôt le matin quand tu arrives ou t'enfuis
la première menace vient à cinq heures
l'aube à sa place

et on danse, ça revient, la première menace
le fleuve et les bêtes ont perdu leur grâce
et après, quand on part, la deuxième vague
nous attend au coin, dans nos doigts, dans nos bagues
la troisième, la quatrième, après je compte plus
il est là, elle est là, à moitié à vous
ça arrive, ça se pose, ça boite, ça gonfle
on est là, tous les quatre, un salut au monstre

à cinq heures du mat’, je ne ferme plus les portes
ça ne sert à rien, elle est beaucoup trop forte
on attend la fin, l'état qui remplace
mais en fait, elle revient, la première menace
la première menace

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

the first threat

the first threat comes at night
early in the morning
when you arrive or when you flee
the first threat comes at five o’clock
with the dawn there, where it should be

and we dance, it comes back, the first threat returns
the river and the beasts have lost all their grace
and after, when we leave, the second wave waits
for us, at the corner, in our fingers, in our rings
the third and the fourth, after that I stop counting
he’s there, she’s there, half belonging to you
it happens, it settles, it limps, it swells
we are here, all four of us, a salute to the monster

when five o’clock comes, I no longer close the doors
it makes no difference, it’s far too strong
we wait for the end, another state which replaces
but in fact it comes back, the first threat returns
the first threat returns
