steveinsocal "…with these English-language translations, primarily taken from "Tu ne mourras pas", Maude and Carole Facal have crafted an album that if you were unfamiliar with her Francophone versions you would be hard pressed to identify the originals, especially given that to these ears the arrangements appear quite similar... this allows Maude's hushed vocals, coloured with just a tinge of Francophone inflection, to shine in any language…"

Your dress was floating ‘round you    Like flowers do When the soft wind blows    Like a pretty girl’s dream      Sweet and naïve A beauty unknown          You wanted to burn with love      Give your everything Share your body and your soul For dawn always remembers    To bring you light  And warm you up inside     
 So may the days be sweet And the moon shine       May your heart beat And make you feel alive You’re shaken   And you will be shaken again ‘Cause you know How this will end    
 He drank water from your lips Salt from your eyes Wrapped his hands around your mind   He wrote you poems For you to keep  In the secret of your garden
 You saved his promises In your heart sealed  Like water in cement But passion and love May disappear     Like morning dew in the wind   As days go by And cool nights fall In your saddest dream   Where the moon is dark   You’re shaken    And you will be shaken again ‘Cause you know How this will end   You’re shaken And you will be shaken again Now you know  That you’ve lost your man Without you realizing Years are gone Nothing will be the same Like a tree waiting   For spring to come Naked you will remain

Ask Me 03:19
I still had the key But I knocked anonymously For years, I ran away  From our abysses I see through the window I remember chaos How did we end this way? Despite the pieces we lost  The torn photos of us I think of you always I just want to talk  But I stay still        Like a scared bird Like a fragile kid      I face my remorses,  Sorrows and wrongs Sadness invades me I stood guard so long It weakened my heart  It broke my body Oh, ask me  If I want to stay Ask me I promise that I changed  I know you see The tears in my eyes And I'll let you take care of me New lines on your face Like a measure of time Traces of shivers and joy Try to cover the pain Wisdom in your bones  It guided you down the road You kept changing Me in a watchtower Waiting for hours  I was so lonely Oh, ask me  If I want to stay Ask me I promise that I changed I know you see The tears in my eyes  And I'll let you take care of me Oh, look at me I’m so tired now    Forgive me I want no more wars I know you see   That I dropped the gun  And I'll let you take care of me I'll let you take care of me And I'll let you take care of me

Laura Said 02:36
Laura said Take me with you It’s not easy to blur    The colours painted on my heart    They could be good for you   When your world is falling down    The old days are gone Emptiness is making you feel blue   I'll take some for you As the morning breaks for the two of us May the sun rise and the birds sing low We can grow old and it won’t be sad       Just because we loved our lives      She softly pulled The arrow from his arm    And she set him free Blood flowed Delicately weaving lines As pain disappeared He gave his answer with a smile He wanted her near There’s room Waiting for her in his heart    All is possible He finds himself in the green of her eyes Shining without gold, feeling rich inside Forgetting the things he lost to the past All the lies that made him cry

As we lie down on the sand Quiet shore, silver sky     Somewhere in the lines of our hands Our faces, our smiles In the embers of volcanoes on fire Even in the never ending winter I would love you to stay   And feel you here with me   A million more years and days You will not die And my dreams shall be our only saviors   A delay that makes you live forever  So I will remember The sweetness in your voice Here with me  Whenever I’m sad     Oh, when twilight falls On the wildflower fields  Soft rain echoes on the land, Resonates in my ear                      And the waters, they’ll carry us wherever          In the hope of reaching a new goal    I would love you to stay   And feel you here with me   A million more years and days You will not die In my blood, in my joy You’ll be alive

In the River 03:10
A thousand times You were there for me I can't count them    There’s too many  When I was worried When I was cold Your arms around me  Like a warm coat    I see my eyes In the mirror of the river Let my tears Find shelter in the water     Lying in this  Sweet bed of waves I let my sorrow  Flow away  When changes turned me    Upside down    Upside down You by my side Through rain and storm Remember when    I hurt myself   You hurt yourself You made me laugh Healed me with kisses  I healed you with kisses  I see my eyes In the mirror of the river   Mirror of the river Let my tears Find shelter in the water  Shelter in the water Lying in this  Sweet bed of waves  Sweet bed of waves I let my sorrow Flow away You are gone But I have to be brave Early in the morning I thought of you You thought of me  I saw a rainbow Shine through the window  Now you’re gone  I’m on my own You’re on your own But memories of you Still keep me warm    Keep you warm    I see my eyes In the mirror of the river   Mirror of the river Burning tears  Find shelter in the water Shelter in the water I miss you  And everything is wrong    Everything is wrong    But I have to go  And live on my own  You are gone Still I am not alone    You’re not alone You remain with me until infinity   I remain with you until infinity   You remain with me until infinity  I remain with you until infinity

Summer was going away  A heavy sun blinded the eyes of jaded bodies In a hurry    And there, I saw you Bloodstains on your little shoulders Walking slow   On Gallaway Road La la la… Under your blue-colored hair  Your broken eyes    So tired of crying Salty tears Thorns of a rose I heard your dog barking Hidden behind your legs   He wallowed In your ghosts   On Gallaway Road La la la... And there, I saw them These people who  Stepped over you But I didn’t stay  I was in a hurry I should have taken the time  And in your hands  Put a couple of cents You stayed alone On Gallaway Road La la la… Sun’s so heavy On Gallaway Road

Leo Leo 03:23
Leo Leo We’re all on fire  But your words Still calm me down    The luminous boats  Want you on board The scent of those flowers  Is so sad Leo Leo I’d like to do better But you see I’m not brave enough     Cause we lose our heroes One after another And the raptors All rush in their yards   La la la... Leo your echoes Slow down the crowds   And haunt their minds As they walk You said broken bodies Know how to hold love  And their beauty Can also end wars   But I still lose The glow of my youth  I hold on to it so tight Leo you knew Time unties promises  And people fade  Taking their turn   Leo Oh Leo I couldn’t do better Than to hope Their games are over La la la…

Load up on guns, bring your friends 
It's fun to lose and to pretend
 She's over-bored and self-assured 
Oh no, I know a dirty word Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous
 Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious
 Here we are now, entertain us
 I'm worse at what I do best
 And for this gift I feel blessed
 Our little group has always been
 And always will until the end Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain u s
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us
 And I forget just why I taste
 Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile 
I found it hard, it's hard to find 
Oh well, whatever, never mind Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello, how low
 Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous
 Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious
 Here we are now, entertain us
 A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido 
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
