I.
Laughing and crying
With these harlequins
And gypsies dancing
Like a carrousel
Of shadows
Beneath a harvest moon
II.
Je ris et je pleure.
Je cours et je tombe
Dans les bras du monde
Qui se rit moqueur,
Des amours
Du soleil et de la peur.
Chorus
Take the burden off my shoulders,
But leave the bird in my head.
Take the burden off my shoulders,
But leave the bird in my head,
Singing...
With trembling lip
I shout Your name
Til it echoes
Like a bird in your head.
