about

Cette chanson met en relation la mort et l'histoire d'un soldat français du début du conflit, étendu dans un champ, entre sommeil et mort. Elle s'inspire du poème Le dormeur du val d’Arthur Rimbaud.

Quelques explications de textes :
"Blood drop falling for only noise."
Des gouttes de sang tombant comme seul bruit.

Dans le poème de Rimbaud, un ver dévoile « deux trous rouges au côté droit » pour indiquer l'état de mort du soldat ; ici c'est le bruit des gouttes de sang sur le sol qui le dévoile.

__________

This song relates the death and the story of a french soldier during the beginning of the war, lying in a field between sleep and death. It is inspired by the poem Le dormeur du val by Arthur Rimbaud.

"Blood drop falling for only noise."

In Rimbaud's poem, a verse reveals "two red holes on the right side" to indicate the state of death of the soldier ; here, the sound of the drops of blood on the ground reveals it.

lyrics

While he sleeps on this plain, the ground continues to shine
Eyes are closed, storm are dozed, battles don't care for divine sign
While he sleeps, smile on his face, his mother prepares the things to come
Uniform, dashing and numb, there was no terror to be done
Golden hair like the wheats
White and fresh complexion
Sleep well
The grass is a perfect mattress to rest
Lean boy
The blue of your shirt will echo the one from the sky
Sleep well
Reach the warm you get against you mum's breast
Smile boy
Your dreams are reliable, the best way not to cry
While he sleeps on this field, the war will silent his rage
Moved by his loosening, he has dropped his guns, his cage
While he sleeps, shiny skin dressed, his father prepares his return
His cap sunk on his head, he seems ready to wake up, without concern
His hand, half-naked, half-gloved
His life, half-hated, half-loved
Sleep well
The grass is a perfect mattress to rest
Lean boy
The blue of your shirt will echo the one from the sky
Sleep well
Reach the warm you get against you mum's breast
Smile boy
Your dreams are reliable, the best way not to cry
How long the boy could wait
Smiling in devil's land
His officer is late
To wake him up, do what is planned
How long will this war last ?
How many sleeping boys
He sleeps his everlast
Blood drop falling for only noise
