Zora sourit - Grégory Lemarchal

Une rue les gens passent, les gens comme on les voit

Juste un flux, une masse, sans visage, sans voix

Quel etrange aujourd’hui, quelquechose, mais quoi?

Desobeit, desobeit

Une rue comme d’autres et le temps se suspend

Une tache, une faute et soudain tu comprends

Impudence inouie, insolite, indecent

Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit

Zora sourit, aux trottoirs, aux voitures, aux passants

Au vacarme, aux murs, au mauvais temps

A son visage nu sous le vent

A ses jambes qui dansent en marchant

A tout ce qui nous semble evident

Elle avance et benit chaque instant

Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit

Des phrases sur les murs, des regards de travers

Parfois quelques injures, elle en a rien a faire

Elle distribue ses sourires, elle en recoit autant

Zora sourit, effrontement

Zora sourit, insolemment

Zora sourit pour elle, elle sourit d’etre la

Mais elle sourit pour celles, celles qui sont la-bas

Pour ces femmes, ses soeurs qui ne savent plus sourire

Alors, des larmes plein le coeur, des larmes plein la vie

Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit

A street people pass, people as we see them

Just a flow, a mass, faceless, voiceless

What strange today, something, but what?

disobey, disobey

A street like any other and time stands still

A stain, a fault and suddenly you understand

Incredible impudence, unusual, indecent

Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles

Zora smiles, at the sidewalks, at the cars, at the passers-by

To the din, to the walls, to the bad weather

To her bare face in the wind

To her legs that dance as she walks

To everything that seems obvious to us

She moves on and blesses every moment

Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles

Sentences on the walls, sidelong glances

Sometimes a few name calling, she don't care

She distributes her smiles, she receives as many

Zora smiles, cheekily

Zora smiles cheekily

Zora smiles for her, she smiles to be there

But she smiles for those, those who are there

For these women, her sisters who no longer know how to smile

So, tears full the heart, tears full the life

Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles
