Autrefois, je ne savais pas
qu'il est des mots qu'on n'entend pas
mais un soir une ombre est venue
qui m'a dit : "Écoute un peu plus
une voix te parle en mots inconnus
entends-tu la voix du silence
je m'en suis allé promener
les peupliers se sont penchés
pour me raconter des histoires
qu'ils étaient les seuls à savoir
et le vent et la mer
doucement me parlaient
j'entendais la voix du silence
et depuis j'ai vu des gens
qui jetaient des mots à tous vents
et qui discouraient sans parler
qui entendaient sans écouter
en proposant des chants connus
que nulle voix n'a jamais repris
et leurs cris couvrent la voix du silence
les hommes ne voient plus les fleurs
ils en ont pris des rides au coeur
ils espèrent en faisant du bruit
meubler le vide de leur vie
et même au ton, sans un bruit
en gouttes de rosée étouffées
etouffées comme la voix du silence
toi tu dors à mon côté
et je n'ose pas parler
de peur que mes mots se confondent
avec le bruit que fait le monde
mais je t'aime tant
qu'un jour enfin tu comprendras
tu m'entendras
dire les mots du silence
