DE LA CONTEMPLATION
Lagarde-Enval - At Grand-Pa's (Corrèze), France
Je revenais aux sources, je voyais les farfelus et la vie aux champs. Les grand-parents avaient su me donner l'amour de la communication difficile, la maison en pierre, et les vaches devant. Les abeilles se ramenaient, normal nous étions en été, et personne ne courrait comme un dératé devant la bestioles aux ailes. Ne vous en faîtes pas, elle est bien plus libre que vous.
I was back to the beginning, I could see the weird guys and life in the fields. My grand-parents knew how to give me the love for the difficult communication, the stonehouse, and the cows in front. The bees were coming by, as usual, this is summer, and nobody was running like a fool in front of the insects with wings. Don't worry, the bee is freer than you.

@Z: I was back home, in the house that saw me growing up. I had to take some time off, just resting in this far from everything land.
@Emilie: Oui
