Verse

The moon hangs low above the tiles.

La lune est basse sur les tuiles.

I walk alone for many miles.

Je marche seul sur des kilomètres.

The ovens glow a steady red.

Les fours brillent d'un rouge constant.

While most are dreaming in their bed.

Tandis que la plupart rêvent dans leurs lits.

Chorus

White flour drifts like winter snow.

La farine tombe comme neige en hiver.

I find my calm in the dough.

Je trouve mon calme dans la pâte.

The world outside is loud and fast.

Le monde dehors est bruyant et rapide.

Here the peace is built to last.

Ici la paix est faite pour durer.

Verse

Salt and water, yeast and grain.

Sel et eau, levure et grain.

Muscles work to ease the strain.

Les muscles travaillent pour soulager l'effort.

My hands shape rough dough into a loaf.

Mes mains façonnent la pâte brute en un pain.

Healing in a rhythmic sound.

La guérison dans un son rythmé.

Chorus

White flour drifts like winter snow.

La farine tombe comme neige en hiver.

I find my calm in the dough.

Je trouve mon calme dans la pâte.

The world outside is loud and fast.

Le monde dehors est bruyant et rapide.

Here the peace is built to last.

Ici la paix est faite pour durer.

Bridge

No sirens cry, no engines roar.

Pas de sirènes, pas de moteurs.

Time slows down in this place.

Le temps ralentit dans cet endroit.

Chorus

White flour drifts like winter snow.

La farine tombe comme neige en hiver.

I find my calm in the dough.

Je trouve mon calme dans la pâte.

The world outside is loud and fast.

Le monde dehors est bruyant et rapide.

Here the peace is built to last.

Ici la paix est faite pour durer.
