Hi all,
Here's a song about people in the parisian Subway.
Philippe Janin is singing. We've both written the lyrics.

Here's an approximate translation :

Do these shadows have a soul ?
Or are they only
abused by the wind
which has extinguished their flame ?
Among all the people
Under the freezing neon lights,
They wander mechanically
Until they find a train.

Chorus :
The shadows of subway
Have a heavy heart
They dream of real light,
Space and fresh air ...

And in this movement
Stretches like a shore
On decadent docks
The eternal arrival
Of poor people.
With this flow of characters
My film is falling in love
And this nest egg of pictures
which thus freezes time
makes me think of a cage.
From which hijacking
Are these people hostages ?

These morning ghosts,
Walking the corridors,
Have a sense of duty.
They take the path.
Their sky is concrete,
So they got used to it.
Even the fear of suffocation
Can no longer stop them.
