lyrics

Leizu Lyrics by Christina Goh (translated):

VERSE 1
Rien que l’essence de l’être
Only the essence of the being
Sans apparences
Without tyrany of appearances
Sans dégoût
Without disgust
Soie si douce pour Leizu
Silk so soft for Leizu

CHORUS
Leizu, Leizu, Leizu, Leizu

VERSE 2
Car c’est un ver ! Austere,
Because it is a worm ! Austere,
Hasard des natures
Chance of nature
Sur le chemin des mûriers
On the path of mulberry trees
Le fil était long
The thread was long
Pour s’approcher de l’horizon
To approach the horizon
Mais Leizu a chaudement pleuré son nom
But Leizu deeply wept over her name

CHORUS
Leizu, Leizu, Leizu, Leizu

BRIDGE
Tisser la vie comme lisser la soie
Weave the life as smooth the silk
Pour couvrir la peine jusqu’aux cimes de douleurs
To cover the sorrow up to the tops of pains
Tisser la vie comme lisser la soie
Weave the life as smooth the silk
Cocon pour les vies en demeure
Cocoon for the lives silenced
Mais Leizu a chaudement pleuré son nom
But Leizu deeply wept over her name
CHORUS
Leizu, Leizu, Leizu, Leizu
