Pourquoi cette pluie pourquoi?
Cette eau, ces nuages qui nous étonnent
Elle dit : cette pluie tu vois
Ce sont des pleurs pour les yeux des hommes
C’est pour vous donner des larmes
Depuis trop longtemps elles ont séché
Les hommes n’oublient pas les armes
Quand ils ne savent plus pleurer
Coule pluie coule sur nos fronts
Idir, Pourquoi cette pluie ?
Translation:
Why this rain, why?
This water, these clouds that surprise us
She says: this rain, you see
They are cries for men’s eyes
This is to give you tears
Since so much time they dried up
Men don’t forget weapons
When they no longer know how to cry
Let rain flow, let rain flow on our foreheads
Edit: make the message clearer
I really like the lyrics for Epitaph, by King Crimson.
Girls own the void!
Let’s make some noise
Don’t leave the house without a party bag, check this!
I’m still a princess, I can curtsy, I can beat you at tetris!
Girls own the void!
Let’s make some noise
Don’t leave the house without a party bag, check this!
I’m still a princess when there’s nothing left to wearFrom Girls by Patricia Taxxon
I occasionally forget that video essays aren’t their main thing.
This isn’t easy because so many songs have lyrics that I love. But if I absolutely had to choose one, I would choose Don’t Let Me Come Home A Stranger by Robin and Linda Williams. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful.
