Camille – Quand Je Marche Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is obviously about love, and losing a lover, through death or being dumped, or maybe just being separated from someone. Here's my translation:


When I walk, I walk.
When I sleep, I sleep.
When I sing, I sing.
I abandon myself.
When I walk, I walk straight.
When I sing, I sing bare[?].
And when I love, I only love you.
When I think about it/you,
I don't sleep anymore.

I am here.
I am inside.
I am up.
I wouldn't mock myself at all anymore.

Listen to what you told me.
The song of the world when it rains.
When the dawn rises I am there.
And when the night falls
I fall too.

I am here.
I am inside.
I am up.
I wouldn't mock myself at all anymore.


When I am hungry
Everything nourishes me.
The dogs' barking, and then the rain.
When you leave, I stay here.
I abandon myself.
And I forget about you.

Anaïs Mitchell – Orion Lyrics 18 years ago
i just saw anais in concert, and she said that she wrote this song about a drummer she performed with in austin, tx. he was the same age as her and had dreams of becoming a star, but he died suddenly in his apartment in nyc in his early twenties...pretty sad.

Anaïs Mitchell – Shenandoah Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is a parent reminiscing about his/her daughter, who left the family farm for bigger and better things. Perhaps the daughter is meant to be Mitchell, who grew up on a sheep farm. I like how it's told from the parent's point of view, showing their love for her, but also their disappointment that she didn't stick around and carry on the family tradition.
