Les couleurs du temps

The sea is blue between two brown rocks
I would have loved it in orange
Or even in rainbow like the sea spray
Strange

I want to change the colors of time
Change the colors of the world
The rising sun, the rose of the winds
The direction my circle will turn
And the water of a tear and all the ocean
That rumbles

I swept the streets and the benches
Dressed the cities in ribbons
Painted the Eiffel Tower flesh pink
Married the subway to the sea
The sky is iron between two chimneys
I would have loved it violet
Or even in rainbow like the smoke
From China

I want to change the colors of time
Change the colors of the world
The rising sun, the rose of the winds
The direction my circle will turn
And the water of a tear and all the ocean
That rumbles

I am of all colors
And especially those that cry
The color I wear is
Mostly the one they want to erase
And your black hair smothered by the night
I want them to be multicolored
Like a rainbow that ignites the rain
At dawn

I want to change the colors of time
Change the colors of the world
The words I hear will be bright
And we will dance in a circle
A circle brown, red, and saffron
And blonde
