Cockburn, Bruce - Badlands Flashback Lyrics
Mon corps se pence
Ma main s'entends
Prends du gravier
Un morcean blanc de coquille
Un mugissement
L'antique mer
Rempli cet espace qui a ete le mien
Lozanges mobiles
Des herbes flottantes
Un cri soudain
D'oiseau flamboie au firmament
Une troupe d'antilopes
Sabots scintillants comme du verre
Un rire sonne comme le cristal
Dans le ciel vide
Quelqu'un danse comme une flamme
[English translation:]
The body stoops
The hand goes out
Picks up from the gravel
A fragment of white seashell
For a moment
A roaring
The ancient sea
Fills the space that just now was mine
Moving diamond-shapes
Grasses flowing
The sudden cry of a bird
Blazes all along the sky
A herd of antelope
Crosses the horizon
Hooves scintillating like glass
A laugh rings like crystal
In the empty sky
Someone is dancing like a flame

Ed Sheeran sells millions and the genius of Bruce Cockburn goes largely unnoticed. Go figure.
Il fait référence à Blaise Cendrars…un Suisse de La Chaux-de-Fonds
Chills down the spine every time I hear this.
Pandora just played this song for me, and I stopped what I was doing to sing along, after all these years. I love that album.
I have an incredible "accidental French" lyrical conundrum from this tune...
Dude was a pacifist genius
My favourite BC song
YES! The rest of the album...
I am new to Bruce Cockburn. This song is exquisite - are then any others in his catalogue that come close to this?
Many! Check out a collection of his instrumental work "Speechless", each one is exquisite as well. Peace.
