about

J’entonne (French): I sound out.
“ Between the thought and the action, there is the decision; the moment when it has come time to step forward... or to sound out. ”

lyrics

J’ENTONNE (YOU WON’T KNOW ‘TIL YOU KNOW)

À nouveau sur le chemin des quatre fils
J’aime bien cette rue
Douce quiétude me berce dans mes pas
J’me sens plus près de moi
J’me sens plus prêt pour moi
J’laisse passer les questions qui ne me concernent pas
J’laisse passer les klaxons qui sonnent bas
J’avance dans ce beau silence d’une légèreté étonnante
Et j’entends

You won’t know ’til you know
You won’t know ’til you know
Doesn’t matter if you listen
Or dig your head in the snow

Je n’suis pas le premier à passer par ici
Ni serai-je le dernier à vouloir en fuir
Tout c’que j’sais c’est qu’au fond j’ai ce grand désir
D’être bien avec toi
D’être bien avec moi
D’faire face à ces peurs qui, d’en dessous, me déchirent
D’aimer plus fort que je n’puisse en revenir
J’m’arrête, j’respire
J’attends... j’attends... j’entends

You won’t know ’til you know
You won’t know ’til you know
Doesn’t matter if you listen
Or dig your head in the snow
You won’t know ’til you know
You won’t know ’til you know
All you can do is hang on
And find someone to hold

Le vent se lève
Je l’envie
Je veux le suivre
Le vent lève
Et moi aussi
Je m’lui confie

(Chorus)
