Tous les tracks ringards des années 80 !

Partial Translation from Google

GOLD - A little closer from the stars ( A little bit more near from the stars )

They left their land
Their fields of flowers and their sacred books
Crossed the rice fields
To the great salty river

Without love, without a cry
They closed their faces of honey
Eyes wet with rain
Hands reaching for the sky

A little closer from the stars
In the garden of silver and light
To forget the scorching shores

A little closer to the stars
Sheltered from the wrath of the wind
Barely a little freer than before

At the foot of the stone walls
They burned their paper dragons
Closed their eyelids
On steel tracks

They who thought they were getting old
Watching their children grow up
In the shadow of a smile
White marble Buddhas

A little closer from the stars
In the garden of silver and light
To forget the scorching shores

A little closer from the stars
Sheltered from the wrath of the wind
Barely a little freer than before

They speak half words
Halfway between life and death
And in their half-closed eyes
The Sun, Sunny's still shining

An island of light
A kite has landed on the sea
A wind of freedom
Too far, too far to take them away !

A little closer from the stars
In the garden of silver and light
To forget the scorching shores

A little closer from the stars
Sheltered from the wrath of the wind
Barely a little freer than before

A little closer from the stars
In the garden of silver and light
To forget the scorching shores

A little closer from the stars
Sheltered from the wrath of the wind
Barely a little freer than before

A little closer from the stars,
In the garden of silver and light
To forget the scorching shores

Un peu plus loin des étoiles est une chanson dont le sujet est les boat people (personnes fuyant la misère et la dictature communiste extrêmement répressive et liberticide) de l'Indochine (Vietnam, Cambodge et Laos) à partir de 1975. Le film Boat People (Passeport pour l'Enfer, de Ann Hui, 1982) en est une très bonne illustration. Je vous le recommande, par-contre c'est pas joyeux.
