Pierre Rapsat

I’m not a poet, but I wanted you to understand why this song is so beautiful.
This is probably Pierre Rapsat’s most beautiful song.

All the dreams that we have shared
All those dreams, must not be forgotten
All that brings us a bit of sweetness
All that matters leaves us

All the dreams, all those dreams, all those stolen kisses
All those long gone dreams that we have abandoned
That gave us the desire to keep going
Now plead with us just to keep standing

But the dreams, all those dreams that we no longer dream
But those dreams, all those dreams that we believed lost
It only takes a spark so that all of a sudden
They resurface deep inside of us...

Let’s love the stars
Let’s let them go their way
Love the stars

All these dreams buoy us up, make us love life
All these dreams, they lift us up and make us want
Want a better world, it’s beautiful but easy
Not to make mistakes, that’s more difficult

Because the dreams, sometimes fail
And end up in front of a tv screen
In a world that attacks us and can tear us to bits
Alone in a 3 room apartment, all that remains...

Let’s love the stars
Let them go their way
Love the stars
Let them go their way

All the dreams that we have pursued
All the dreams, all these dreams for a happy present
That gave us the desire to go the distance
Now beg us to keep standing

But the dreams, all these dreams that we didn’t dream any more
But the dreams, all these dreams that we thought were lost
It only takes a spark so that all of a sudden
They come back in strength, the dreams are inside us.
The dreams are inside us...
