Leny Escudero - The journey


Original Title: "Le voyage"
Year: 1974
(Him) Tell me, is it for now?
You always say "Wait"
And that we have plenty of time
To make the journey

(Her): It's true it's too early
Harness the horses
Call back the crew
We are barely fifteen years old

(Him) We are fifteen years old, it's true
But I love you, you know
I know the East and the West
I know the North
It's the South I want
The South is in your eyes

(Her) Come on, wait
One must be wise
You crumpled my blouse
One must be patient
We have time
For the light-hearted gallantries
We'll do it your nice journey
We are always twenty years old

(Him) We are always twenty years old
But not for very long
One day we are thirty years old
And then one day fourty
And then we do not count no more
It's time which is counting us
And there, there is more than
necessary in the fairytales

(Her) Oh you were right
I beg for your forgiveness
If I had known
That you'd be my companion
But I could not have known
You who were the first
That you would be the only one
That you'd be the last
Come, it's our last wrecking
We'll do it, the journey
Yes, but just the two of us
Come, put your hand in mine
Don't be afraid, I'm holding you tight

(Him) Oh, don't push me
You are expected over there
It's not that I am tormented
To go in hell
But I can't now
I have something to do
After all there is no hurry
I want my share of caresses
I've the regret of the vine arbour
I want to finish my bottle

(Her) Do not leave me
I'm afraid to get cold
Oh, come right against me
If you loved me
Like I loved you
You only loved me
Tell me, my love
For the last time
