In addition to its excellent interview about the Tonnerre River, Raôul Duguay gives us, on this International Rivers Day, a magnificent song dedicated to the beauty of our rivers, source of life. Good listening to all!
RIVER
In the middle of the river naked on an island
In heaven on earth not far from the city
The water was so clear, the air was so pure
We spent nights and days drinking in love
It's been so long since I drank from love
The days flow and flow and I await your return
The river knows about our crazy loves
The salmon in my dream swims up the river
But today on our island life is fragile
A whole forest on our backs and our loves in the water
The salmon is swimming on its back, it has smoked too much
Air so polluted that the water has to be washed away
It's been so long since I drank from love
The days flow and flow and I await your return
The river knows about our crazy loves
The salmon in my dream swims up the river
But on another river far away from business
I preserved an island far from the city
The pink flesh of salmon, love is so good
We will go see the lily bloom at dawn
It's been so long since I drank from love
The days flow and flow and I await your return
The river knows about our crazy loves
Ah! how short life is when the dream ends
Raoul Duguay
