Las flores que crecen en mi alma
No son más que símbolos de
La esperanza

He envuelto destellos de emociones
Como trenzas de luz
Atravesando mis canciones
Mientras te veía crecer
Lejos de la tierra que te vio nacer

Supimos fragmentar el aire
Para así, no dejarnos colgados
Lado a lado a los sentimientos
No cauterizados
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber

Respira hondo
Que ahora podemos
Duérmete una noche entera
Que el mañana no existe
Leonardo

Ya voy ya voy
Y te salvo
Si pudiera
En este mismo momento
Iría ya de un salto

TRANSLATION:

The flowers that grow within my soul
Are nothing but symbols of hope

I’ve wrapped glints of emotions
Like braids of light
Through my songs
While I saw you grow 
Far from the land
That saw you be born

We knew to fragment the air
So as to not leave us hanging
Side by side to feelings
Not cauterized
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing

Breathe deeply
Because now we can
Sleep an entire night
Because tomorrow does not exist

Leonardo
Leonardo

I’ll go, I’ll go
And I’ll save you
If I could
In this very moment
I’d take a leap and be there

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”
