Tribute to René Char, and to us, the refugees of the planet Earth, lost in the universe, floating in the wild.
René Char:
"Tiens vis-à-vis des autres ce que tu t'es promis à toi seul. Là est ton contrat."
Fureur et mystère, Les feuillets d'hypnos (1948).
"L'essentiel est sans cesse menacé par l'insignifiant."
À une sérénité crispée (1955).
"Nous n'avons qu'une ressource avec la mort : faire de l'art avant elle."
La parole en archipel, Les dentelles de Montmirail (1962).
"Les enfants réalisent ce miracle adorable de demeurer des enfants et de voir par nos yeux."
Fureur et mystère (1948).
"Il faut être l'homme de la pluie et l'enfant du beau temps."
Le marteau sans maître (1934).

We came through our story, thrown on a dock, happy and down, it’s OK…
Dirty like pigs, and still not cleared of suspicion,
That day, we talked about the house we had there, the loss of our peers, and today,
REF : we’ll do any job we can
We’d need a roof upon our head
We’ll remain children under the blue sky and we’ll become men under the rain (Ref. "Il faut être l'homme de la pluie et l'enfant du beau temps."
René Char ; Le marteau sans maître (1934))
When everything is fine under the sun of the possible paths
And when we’ll do OK, I promess, we’ll afford our own … Home, home…
We came with empty hands, looking for a decent place to believe in
Looking for some brave hearts to share with
« I ‘ve built a house with my daddy »
« I’ll earn some money to shop with my mummy »
Let’s prepare a meal… At the camp, anyway, it’s OK…
And today…
REF : we’ll do any job we can
We’d need a roof upon our head
« no visa, no home »
We’ll remain children under the blue sky and we’ll become men under the rain. When everything is fine under the sun of the possible paths.
And when we’ll do OK, I promess, we’ll afford our own… Home…
« Welcome home, a cup of tea, some coffee
Welcome to be, my elephants of love,
Welcome home. »
