- Bears in the Night -

1999

Gaëlle Konak

Listen, we are bears in the night
We dance and sing for the stars
We lift our paws and try to touch them
We lick them, oh! we eat them all...
 
It’s been a long time since yesterday
All hopes for dawn are allowed...
We hope you’re home before we leave... (So hungry!...)
We hope we’re shot down if we tried... (Oh! but so in love...)
 
 
Be quiet, we are lambs in the dark
We dance and sing to soften the mouths
Silently praying for the dog to come
Bears lick us, oh! they eat us up...
 
It’s been a long time since yesterday
Shouldn’t dawn be there now?...
We hope they’re full when they are done with us... (So angry!..)
We hope we didn’t cry too loud... (Oh! cause so in love...)
 
 
Don’t judge us, we are bears in the night
We’ll never make it home alive
We shove our snouts into our mind
We lick it, but it eats us up...
 
It’s been a long time since yesterday
All hopes for dawn died out...
We hope we’re dead before you leave us... (So sorry!...)
We hope you’re dreaming of daylight... (Oh! and so in love...)
 
It’s been a long time since yesterday
The bears ate the lambs and cried...
But I hope you know how much I... (So in love...)
I hope I’m God before you die.
