Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

Dans les vagues de Biarritz disparaît le fracas du monde
Pas un jour pas un solstice sans l’écume qui vagabonde
Au fond des âmes brûle un sésame
C’est le présent qui s’enflamme

Dans les mots que tu me glisses
: des secondes suspendues
Faudrait il que j’abolisse le temps qui passe et les vertus
Je laisse fuir les âmes d’artistes, les sentiments hédonistes…

Dans les rides de tes yeux, les minutes ralentissent
Dans tes gestes voluptueux se dessinent les délices

Ici et maintenant, Dans la douceur
Que donne le souffle du temps
Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,
Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

English translation :

HERE AND NOW

Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...

In the waves of Biarritz,
disappears the
turmoil
of the world
Not a day,
not a solstice without the foam that roams
Deep in the
soul burns a
sesame
It's the present that ignites
it.

In the words you
whispered: suspended seconds
Should I abolish the passage of time and the virtues
I let the souls of artists flee, the hedonistic feelings ...

In the wrinkles of your eyes, the minutes slow down
In your voluptuous gestures
we see
the delight
Here and now, In the sweetness

Which time
breathes
Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...

Gotta keep on movingGotta find a way to get close to youHelp me keep on moving, gottastay on my feet if I wanna get close to youI’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,And I just don’t know what else to do
Gotta keep my head up, everyNow and then look up to the skyBeen so low I don’t recall what the
Leaves on the trees look likeI’m doing my best,But won’t you help me with the rest
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask
If only I could love youI would spend all night getting close to youIf only I could love you I would
Be the one you could call yoursOh it sounds so pretty,
But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stay
You gotta ask
I won’t say it won’t work if youSay you’ll do the same
Hold myself still,StopAnd get myself to stayBut every time I tryYou just slip off to the sideAnd I keep moving
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask x2

I left home when I was 17Just to see if the grass was really green4 years deep of things left behindbut you know I’ve got it all still on my mind
Bet you’ve already heard a song like thisOne that ends in that perfect farewell kissBut I won’t play that same old gameNot that flawless role we all seem to wanna play
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I love you now that you want me toAnd that’s not something I usually doDigging up the roots of this old oak treeIs just a little harder than I thought it’d be
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I gave you the key to let yourself inTo that secret place nobody’s ever beenYou peaked your head inside and looked aroundI can only hope you won’t let me down
I don’t know if you seeJust how much you mean to meSo let me know what you findIn this sheltered heart of mine
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
