L'important, c'est la rose

The Importance of The Rose

 
You who walk in the wind
Alone in the too-big city
With the gentle boredom
of passing
You who she let go of
To run towards other moons
To run from other destinies
The important thing...
 
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
Believe me...
 
You who look for a little money
To get you through the week
In the town, you walk
Your swinging
stuntman, sun going to sleep,
You pass in front of banks,
If you are nothing but an acrobat,
 
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
Believe me...
 
You, little one, who your parents
left alone on earth
Little bird without light
Without spring
In your jacket of white cloth
It's cold like in La Bohème
You have a heart like in Lent
And however...
 
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
Believe me...
 
You for whom, giving giving,
I sang these few lines
As if to give you a sign
in passing
Say in your turn now
That life has no importance
Except for a flower that dances
on top of time...
 
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
Believe me...
 
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
The important thing
Is the rose
Believe me...
 
L'important, c'est la rose


Toi qui marches dans le vent,
Seul dans la trop grande ville,
Avec le cafard tranquille,
Du passant...
Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber
Pour courir vers d'autres lunes,
Pour courir d'autres fortunes,
L'important…
 
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
Crois-moi…
 
Toi qui cherches quelque argent
Pour te boucler la semaine,
Dans la ville, tu promènes
Ton ballant.
Cascadeur, soleil couchant,
Tu passes devant les banques.
Si tu n'es qu'un saltimbanque,
L'important…
 
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
Crois-moi…
 
Toi, petit, que tes parents
Ont laissé seul sur la terre -
Petit oiseau sans lumière
Sans printemps.
Dans ta veste de drap blanc,
Il fait froid comme en bohème.
T'as le coeur comme en carême,
Et pourtant…
 
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
Crois-moi…
 
Toi pour qui, donnant donnant,
J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes -
Comme pour te faire un signe
En passant -,
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Que la vie n'a d'importance
Que par une fleur qui danse
Sur le temps…
 
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
Crois-moi…
 
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
L'important,
C'est la rose,
Crois-moi…
