Lyrics (Carmen Braden)
Tombez sur la terre
Elle vous attend
Tous les bruits du monde
Tous les bruits du guerre
Vous survolerez
Comme la terre vous embrasse
Comme la terre accept votre descent.

Translation

Fall to the earth
She waits for you
All the noise of the world
All the noise of the war
You will fly over
As the earth embraces you
As the earth embraces your fall.
