...an old birthday card........

~ chinese proverb~.........dedicated to my best friend.

No indifference [pas l'indifférence]

No Indifference --- [Jean-Jacques Goldman 1981]

I'll accept the pain,
I'll accept the fear,
I know the consequences,
and bear the tears.

I accept whatever the cost
all the worst of the best
I'll take the tears and the doubts,
and risk all harm.

[chorus] All, but no indifference
all, but no elapsing time
with days all alike
colorless days without zest.

And I'll learn the pain
And I'll learn the hurt
For the pleasure of a presence,
For a whispering.

I'll learn the meaning of phrases
The warmth of words,
I swear I won't be a "good child" anymore,
I promise to be foolish.

[chorus]

I'll give ten years for a look
I'll give castles and palaces for a rail track
A piece of life for all comfort,
A lot of certainties for still being able to desire.

I'll trade dead years for a bit of life,
I'll be searching for the key to any freakiness
I'll take all tickets to all possible journeys,
Go anywhere changing environment.

Erasing all absent hours,
Painting all in new colors
All those lying souls
And who are smiling with tears in their eyes.
