Secret Lyrics

Si tu ressuscites
Un grain de granit
Du fond de la terre
Je saurai me taire
Si tu ressuscites
Un grain de granit
Je saurai me faire petite

J'ai vu se dessiner une vipère
Je voudrais lui ressembler
Accrochée à tes larges épaules pâles

Tout ce que je sais
Restera secret

Si tu ressuscites
Un grain de granit
Du fond de la terre
Je saurai me taire

Si tu ressuscites
Un grain de granit
Je saurai me faire petite

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

If you rise from the dead A granite grain Of the bottom of the earth I shall know how to be silent If you rise from the dead A granite grain I shall know how to become small

I saw taking shape an adder I would like to resemble him Hung on your broad pale shoulders

All that I know Will remain secret

If you rise from the dead A granite grain Of the bottom of the earth I shall know how to be silent

If you rise from the dead A granite grain I shall know how to become small
