cecilia from buenos aires, who sang and wrote the music, and maxence from paris, who wrote the lyrics, collaborated to write this song that became the soundtrack to my time in berlin. they were both studying in berlin with my friend hadas. we recorded this song, as well as "sulfur sleeping" at their apartment in kreuzberg.
lyrics
lyrics originally in French written by Maxence Klein
English translation:
tomorrow will be today as yesterday
if the sun rises again on berlin
will you come to the library with us
a theater where books sing in unison
yesterday will be today as tomorrow
if the sun rises again on berlin
we'll go to see the abandoned tower
where the west used to listen to the east
in unison
if only the spying soldiers had been discharged for freedom
had been replaced by little creatures
militants of happiness, of pleasure, and of calm
thus history could have been reoriented, enchanted, and redeemed
it would be for everyone
a place more livable
tomorrow will be today as yesterday
if the sun rises again on berlin
will you come to the library with us
a theater where books sing in unison
