Solitude des latitudes
Se glisse dans tes draps.
Solitude
Ce soir te quittera.
Solitude,
Solitude.

La nuit semble douce et magique,
Ça ressemble aux Amériques,
Ce qu'on lit quand on est enfant,
Belliou-la-Fumée, Croc blanc.
La nuit semble douce et tranquille
Mais tu trembles, que t'arrive-t-il ?
Solitude et feu qui s'éteint,
Coup de feu dans le lointain.

Solitude des latitudes
Se glisse dans tes draps.
Solitude
Ce soir te quittera.
Solitude des longitudes,
Solitude.

La nuit semble douce et tranquille.
Ça ressemble à une ville
Dont on rêve quand on est enfant.
Carthage et ses éléphants.
La nuit semble douce et pourtant,
Tu te réveilles de temps en temps.
Solitude et feu qui s'éteint
Coup de feu dans le lointain.

Te glisse entre les doigts
Solitude...

Solitude of latitudes
Slips into your sheets.
Solitude
Tonight will leave you.
Loneliness,
Loneliness.

The night seems sweet and magical,
Sounds like the Americas,
What you read as a kid,
Belliou-la-Fumée, Croc blanc.
The night seems soft and quiet
But you're shaking, what's the matter with you?
Loneliness and fire going out,
Shot in the distance.

Solitude of latitudes
Slips into your sheets.
Solitude
Tonight will leave you.
Loneliness of longitude,
Loneliness.

The night seems sweet and quiet.
It looks like a city
You dream about when you're a kid.
Carthage and its elephants.
The night seems sweet and yet,
You wake up from time to time.
Loneliness and fire going out
Shot in the distance.

Slips through your fingers
Loneliness...

Another lovely one JP. Love all the guitar work here, and your vocal performance is very sensitive and fits the music so well.

thank you Nigel...and I just realized that I didn't quote you in "my Pantheon at SC", I'm going to rectify this if only for this monumental "demoiselle d'Ys" that I'm bumping as well
