Lyrics & translation
Verse
The stopwatch waits in the dustbin today.
Le chronomètre attend dans la poubelle aujourd'hui.
I stopped counting every single beat.
J'ai arrêté de compter chaque battement.
No more race against the sun.
Plus de course contre le soleil.
Just the warmth beneath my feet.
Juste la chaleur sous mes pieds.
Chorus
Let the hours simply drift away.
Laisse les heures dériver tout simplement.
Finding magic in a common day.
Trouver la magie dans un jour ordinaire.
Beautiful, plain, and slow.
Beau, simple, et lent.
Beautiful, plain, and slow.
Beau, simple, et lent.
Verse
Steam rising from a quiet cup.
La vapeur monte d'une tasse tranquille.
No big plans written in ink.
Pas de grands projets écrits à l'encre.
The world moves on without me.
Le monde continue d'avancer sans moi.
And I finally have time to think.
Et j'ai enfin le temps de réfléchir.
Chorus
Let the hours simply drift away.
Laisse les heures dériver tout simplement.
Finding magic in a common day.
Trouver la magie dans un jour ordinaire.
Bridge
I used to fear the silence.
J'avais peur du silence autrefois.
With nowhere left for me to hide.
Sans plus aucun endroit pour me cacher.
Chorus
Let the hours simply drift away.
Laisse les heures dériver tout simplement.
Finding magic in a common day.
Trouver la magie dans un jour ordinaire.
Beautiful, plain, and slow.
Beau, simple, et lent.
Beautiful, plain, and slow.
Beau, simple, et lent.
