lyrics

WHERE ARE YOU ?
Lyrics: original poem in French and
Innu by Josephine Bacon, translated and adapted by Robin-Joël Cool
Music: Robin-Joël Cool
Performe by Mentana

You’re going to the city
Believing in a better life
In your evasion,
You evade yourself
You’re going from meetings to meetings
You tell a story that resembles yours

You’re going so far
Away from your birth
Your escape doesn’t dance no more
Music has lost its rhythm
You stagger toward the light
Like a mayfly that burns its wings

Chorus:
Where are you in your unfinished life – please
Where are you so I won’t loose you - please
Where are you so I won’t forget you - please
Where are you in your nowhere

A scarlet sun greets you
You’re somewhere else
You’re a frightened little girl
Who’s lost her own language
You’re out there
Where you’ve lost yourself

Your cry for help flew away
To the worried northern wind
You pray to be heard so hard
But your cry just keeps on quiet
Your soul
Returns home with your people
