L'étiquette

The Label

A knit stitch

A backwards suit

My nice sweater is tailor-made

Here we are dressed up for winter

Matching in lace

100% pure string

And so what if I feel cramped

In the life that was tailored for me

Properly obedient

Properly people

Properly useless

I remove the label

And it flies away

(I throw it out)

Departing in the air

Toward the unknown

Fly more,

Fly more

Higher than my preconceived notions

Yes, fly more,

Beyond the currents

To a carefree sky,

You ascend to the clouds

Be kind1 to the happiness that comes

And breathe at last

I breathe at last

The tertile2 that we believe

The notions that we lose

Who knitted this long and winding road3 for me?

Who cut this jacket on the wrong side?

Properly delicate,

Baby doll,

Used too much,

A bit soft,

The label

I throw it out

Departing in the air

Toward the unknown

Fly more,

Fly more

Higher than my preconceived notions

Yes, fly more,

Beyond the currents

To a carefree sky,

You ascend to the clouds

Be kind to the happiness that comes

And breathe at last

I breathe at last

For an incredible dream

To a carefree sky,

I ascend to the clouds,

And kind to the happiness that comes

I breathe at last

I breathe at last

And I fly in my head.

1. légère translates to 'light' (not heavy) but that doesn't really make much sense here
2. I cannot find this word anywhere, not sure if maybe there's a typo
3. chemin de croix refers to 'way of the cross' and in this sense is meaning a very difficult thing or a struggle
