Exil
05:59
|

|
D'étoile en faille
D'un battement d'aile
Traverse d'est en ouest
Un rêve en plein sommeil
Les rumeurs du midi
Flottent dans les airs
La clameur perfore
Un silence de verre
Allongés dans les dunes
Coeur caché qui tressaille
Cri de sentinelle
Un abri de fortune
Se sauver de la foule
De tous les vainqueurs
Des trémolos, des hymnes
Des promesses des pasteurs
Ligne de ton épaule
Chant qui désarme
L'alcôve des cabanes
Mémoire d'ici ou d'ailleurs
Exiler toute peur
Amarrer l'amour fol
Le soleil pour cortège
Voler par dessus les murailles

Become
04:31
|
|||
|
By way of the roof and the ladder
When you travel without your brother
If you've been secluded with no water
Become so become
Still there is no light in your vision
Where there is no light there's no wisdom
In sky, at sea or in the system
Become so become
Moon shine not without me
Earth travel not without me
Time go not without me
Vision know not without me
Sweet parade of a soul
Go not without me
Sweet parade of a soul
Go not without me
By the road without a sign
Against the books that made you blind
And to those you've been unkind
Become so become
To gaze beyond the range of time
To have nothing left behind
And for the stars that don't shine
Become so become
Sweet parade of a soul
Go not without me

Keep the Light
05:21

Twice as right
With her faith in hell
She blows from east to west
Heartless and vain
She crawls in the city
Writes her fiction there
She poses as victor
With no care for life and rain
Your mill turns with all winds
You go where it takes you blind
I know you too well
To be a part of yours
You must be a fool
Playing the joker
As I leave your scene
I don't hold any anger
You've made me so old
Before my time
So few of you are fine
And so many left behind
But we live in the shade
With my beautiful love
And in love without age
So you will say of us when we'll die
You'll say of us when we'll die
They did not know fear
On the green path in this lifetime
They smiled at each other, whispering
This is a game of color
In which we both undress
And we smiled at each other
We shall keep the light, we shall keep the light

Electric Sky
04:56
|
|||
|
Something's changing in the sky
Your garden is loosing grace
What is here and what is there
What is blue and what is red
The fire is burning bright
It's burning in your stairs
Control is on your mind
Freedom is somewhere else
Rise and fall instead of all
Night and day for you to say
Where is now and where is then
Hellos, goodbyes and lullabies

De Roses Vermeilles
05:47
|
|||
|
De roses vermeilles
Nos champs sont fleuris,
Et le bras des treilles
Tend à nos corbeilles
Ses raisins mûris.
Puisque chaque année
Jetant aux hivers
Sa robe fanée,
Renaît couronnée
De feuillages verts,
Puisque toute chose
S'offre à notre main
Pour qu'elle en dispose,
Effeuillons la rose,
Foulons le raisin ;
Car le temps nous presse
D'un constant effort ;
Hier la jeunesse,
Ce soir la vieillesse,
Et demain la mort.
Étrange mystère !
Chaque homme à son tour
Passe solitaire
Un jour sur la terre ;
Mais pendant ce jour,
De roses vermeilles
Nos champs sont fleuris,
Et le bras des treilles
Tend à nos corbeilles
Ses raisins mûris.

I dreamt of a day of wind and rain,
I would come home to you at fall of night
And see your window flushed with firelight.
There in the evening's lonesomeness I’d wait
Yourself the sun, and I the melting frost,
Myself the flax and you the kindly fire,
Yourself the maze wherein my self is lost,
There in the evening's lonesomeness I'd wait
A moment standing at the garden gate
trusting that my happiness was true,
A moment, standing at the garden gate
The kind warm lights of home and love and you
Your love the port whereto my body sails,
My hope the ship whose helm your hand guides,
Your grace the wind that must my course avail
My faith the flood, against the wind and the tides
Then, lest they’d vanish to be mine no more,
I’d speed my steps along the garden path,
Cross my own threshold, close the wind-blown door
And find you in the firelight of the hearth
Happiness is to kneel beside you there
And feel your fingers resting on my hair

Still Waters
04:47
|
|||
|
Here come the sunny days, promising no more rains
Lighting up the skies soothing all winter pains
Reflections decorate the black trees and the plaines
You believe in the world like the child you were once again
Restrained, tamed
It's a perfect game
This beauty weighs me down, a painting on the wall
The dancers are dancing, spinning as they call
The waters are still but everything screams we will fall
Ocean, river and forest we once had it all
Restrained, tamed
It's a perfect game
Sustained, refrained
Dust and flame

Je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur saigne lorsque le soleil se couche
et pourquoi je pleure à l'heure du chien loup
je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur se gonfle au souffle du vent dans les arbres
et quand il enfle les voiles des navires
je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur chante
quand le soleil ébloui les fenêtres
et réchauffe l'ombre des hortensias,
je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur rit de la douleur des galets
et de mes pieds transpercés par l'eau des vagues,
je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur se cache
quand la pluie fouette et le ciel se fâche.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi mon coeur tinte au bruit du sceau
qui balance à ta main et se farde au bordeaux
de ta robe d'intérieur,
je ne sais pas pourquoi j'aime les platanes des casernes,
la craie du bitume qui dessine des ciels.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi tu es parti
sans me dire au revoir
et que depuis mon coeur se languit des cyprès.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai le coeur gros
quand novembre balaye les graines d'août,
et quand l'automne pleure l'arrivée du printemps.
Je ne sais pas si mon coeur aura peur de son dernier battement
et si l'hiver venu le jardin s'engourdira
lentement.

Deer on the Run
05:15
|
|||
|
The deer is on the run
The edges have come undone
The sweet and the bitter
Shine straight down through the sun
There's talk of a place
Somewhere by a lake
Wrapped in fields of love
Where everything has been said
From ancient myths to darkest hours
The amber light in the sky
The nearest of the distant stars, say
Happiness hides on the hills
Sometimes it sleeps and sometimes kills
When the blue's not yet black
You can see the distant crack
They say it's the horizon
Close your eyes and turn your back

Slaves
05:47
|
|||
|
Like a rising sun
I can hear you calling me
But the rising sun is here to fall in me
When the tide is gone
I can hear you catching me
When the tide is gone, I am here to fall in me
No longer the pain
Slaves we are born
In the falling rain
I can hear you calling me
But the falling rain is here to fall in me
Like a rising sun
I can hear you calling me
But the rising sun is here to stay with me
No longer the pain
Slaves we are born

Deleyaman
Deleyaman is a French-American band founded in 2000 by Aret Madilian, Beatrice Valantin and Gerard Madilian. Their sound
can't be pigeon-holed into a single genre, it has been described as enigmatic and poetic. They are the first alternative band to have included the ancient wind instrument, the duduk, in their permanent line-up.
