They hold each others by the hand

And walk in silence

In those faded cities

which are rocked by drizzle

Only their steps ring

Hummed step by step

They walk in silence

The desperates

 

They have burnt their wings

They have lost their branches

Shipwrecked in such a way

That death looks white

They come back from loves

They have awaken

They walk silently

The desperates

 

And I know their way for having walked it

Already more than a hundred times

A hundred times more than halfway

Less old or more bruised

They are going to reach its end

They walk in silence

The desperates

 

And below the bridge

Water is sweet and deep

Here is the good hostess

Here is the end of the world

They cry their firstname

Like newlyweds

They melt in silence

The desperates

 

Let stand up the one

who throws them the stone

He only knows of love

The verb “to love oneself”

On the bridge there is nothing left

But a light mist

They are forgotten in silence

The ones who have hoped

 

Se tiennent par la main

Et marchent en silence

Dans ces villes éteintes

Que le crachin balance

Ne sonnent que leurs pas

Pas à pas fredonnés

Ils marchent en silence

Les désespérés

 

Ils ont brûlé leurs ailes

Ils ont perdu leurs branches

Tellement naufragés

Que la mort paraît blanche

Ils reviennent d´amour

Ils se sont réveillés

Ils marchent en silence

Les désespérés

 

Et je sais leur chemin

Pour l´avoir cheminé

Déjà plus de cent fois

Cent fois plus qu´à moitié

Moins vieux ou plus meurtris

Ils vont le terminer

Ils marchent en silence

Les désespérés

 

Lente sous le pont

L´eau est douce et profonde

Voici la bonne hôtesse

Voici la fin du monde

 

Ils pleurent leurs prénoms

Comme de jeunes mariés

Et fondent en silence

Les désespérés

 

Que se lève celui

Qui leur lance la pierre

Ils ne sait de l´amour

Que le verbe “s´aimer”

 

Sur le pont n´est plus rien

Qu´une brume légère

Ça s´oublie en silence

Ceux qui ont espéré

–Brel’s “Les désespérés”  (1965)
