On Est Loin

I reread your letters
I was absent without seeming to be, I swear
I still believe in it, perhaps
But since nothing lasts
We are far away, we are far away

Far from my red sea, from the desert
Far from paradise, from hell
Far from the Pacific, from our dreams
When the day breaks
We are far from everything
Far from ourselves

I watched the film again
And I did, I believe, my best
I caressed the mountaintops
But in the gray-blue sky
We are far away, we are far away

Far from my red sea, from the desert
Far from paradise, from hell
Far from the Pacific, from our dreams
When the day breaks
We are far from everything
Far from ourselves

I repeated the mistakes
Made hearts capsize, again
I found happiness
Tonight, drifting on the water
We are far away, we are far away
Far from America and the lands
Far from paradise and hell
Far from Atlantis, from our dreams
How short life is
We are far from everything
Far from ourselves
