Voices Voices of roots, fog and poplars Talking to the river banks Talking to the crazy Voices in the head Voices against time That fill life Remaining in silence Voices that I no longer hear Voices that only you know Miss your voice you know Mama don’t cry Mama don’t cry Voices of memories Foolish days Lost in boredom During a summer at the bar Oratory voices Voices in the mouths of priests And from a bit more daring nuns Those found in mangers Voices that I no longer hear Voices that only you know Miss your voice you know Mama don’t cry Mama don’t cry It’s been a long time Mama you don’t know It’s been a long long time Uh it’s been a hard time Mama you don’t know It’s been a hard hard time Wax evening Dripping from my eyes The night is clear there are those who hope at the foot of the evening Nameless voices Shout loudly Stormy voices Dreaming the other river bank Masters’ voices Barking at your dreams Here where the leash Is not only for dogs Voices without a sound They don’t know who they are Miss your voice you know Mama don’t cry Mama don’t cry Mama don’t cry Mama don’t cry Mama you don’t know Mama don’t cry
