lyrics

Jardin Nippon
(Lyrics : Thierry Sportouche/Music: Tim Hunter)

A la recherche des mystères de la lumière
De la musique des couleurs pures
Telles les voyelles coloriées d’Ar-thur
Ou les rimes de Verlaine impaires
Couleurs chaudes glacées
Couleurs froides embrasées
Comment transcrire sur le cane-vas
Ces émotions qui sont en moi ?
 
J’ai créé mon jardin nippon
Un arc-en-ciel en guise de pont
Qui se mire dans l’é-tang
De mes printemps
De tes vingt ans
Jardin nippon, Jardin nippon
 
Impression sur ma rétin’e
Le voile d’une belle ondin’e
Créature frêle, Irréelle,
Immortelle, Immortelle
Silhouette sur ma palette
Emmène-moi au loin, Emmène-moi au loin
 
J’ai créé mon jardin nippon
Un arc-en-ciel en guise de pont
Qui se mire dans l’é-tang
De mes printemps, De tes vingt ans
(bis)
 J’ai créé mon jardin nippon ,Ad lib

Translation:

In search of the mysteries of light
Music of pure colours
Like the coloured vowels of Ar-thur
Or Verlaine’s odd verses
Glazed warm colours
Cold colours burning
How transcribing on the can-vas
The emotions inside me?
I created my Japanese garden
A rainbow as a bridge
Which reflects into the pool
Of my springs
Of your twenty years

Japanese garden, Japanese garden

Impression on my retina
The veil of a beautiful mermaid
Frail creature, unreal
immortal , immortal
Silhouette on my palette
Take me far away, Take me far away

I created my Japanese garden
A rainbow as a bridge
Which reflects into the pool
Of my springs
Of your twenty years
I created my Japanese garden
