Ephemeres

[666secretvid]

Did anyone else notice: at 0:11, the two books that the pilot/Daniel is holding? One of them is "Terre des Hommes" the other "Vol de nuit"- both books by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry!! (The author of the book "The little prince" on which the musical is based)

Eh, it's not a great translation, but it's apparently the only one on the internet, so it's better than nothing.

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Ephemeral things/That love the short-lived folly/That lets us hope for heaven/And we attach ourselves to stones/Ephemeral things/Who are, in the end, no more than a grain of sand in a desert

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Ephemeral things/That the love the short-lived folly/That lets us hope for heaven/And we attach ourselves to stones/Ephemeral things/Who, in prayers,/Find the meaning of destiny/However uncertain...We want to believe in eternal things/To forget all the precarious things/That can only make us see/Our mere mortal condition...Ephemeral things/Trapped in a greenhouse/Like fragile insects that are born/To go out into the light

[cdtseng]

thank you so much for taking the time for not only uploading the video but also posting the lyrics.

beautiful song!

[rabidfangirl777]

That was a wonderful song. what does ephemeres mean?

[martapeel]

ephemeral; short-lived

it's a song about mortality; "one can believe in eternal things to forget about all the precarious (mortal) things that encompass the earth and sky.."

"ephemeral, threatened by a final end..."

*the french translation is VERY rough btw*

Ephémères

Epris de folie temporaire

Qui nous laisse espérer le ciel

Et nous attache à des pierres

Ephémères

Pour enfin

N'être dans ces déserts

Plus qu'un grain de poussière

[570629]

Ephémères Qui en prières Trouvent un sens à leurs destins Si incertains Ephémères Pris au piège sous l'effet de serre Comme ces fragiles insectes qui naissent Pour s'éteindre en pleine lumière Ephémères Avoir la sagesse nécessaire De prendre un peu tout à la légère Et savoir se détacher de la Terre

[570629]

Ephémères Menacés par une fin prochaine Les explosions en chaîne Les amours et les gloires passagères Ephémères Avoir la sagesse nécessaire De prendre un peu tout à la légère Et savoir se détacher de la Terre Ephémères Epris de folie temporaire Qui nous laisse espérer le ciel Et nous attache à des pierres

[570629]

l'aviateur:

On veut croire à des choses éternelles

Pour oublier toutes ces choses précaires

Qui encombrent la terre et le ciel

Les poèmes et les dictionnaires

Car nous sommes

[570629]
