According to St. Bede, Ceolfrith set out from his monastery on 4 June 716, a thursday. Among the things he took with him was an enormous book, a gift he intended to deliver at his earthly destination. The giant book Ceolfrith took with him, now known as Codex Amiatinus, is the oldest surviving, complete Latin Bible in the world.  Ceolfrith took one of the three giant bibles written in the Wermouth monastery, where he was the abbot, as a gift for St Peter’s shrine in Rome. " ... and got on a horse, speeding away from the land of the Angles to the lands where, with a freer and purer spirit for contemplating angels, he might be delivered to Heaven".
On 12 August Ceolfrith "reached the lands of Gaul", where he was received with honour by King Chilperic himself. The party then travelled over land. Ceolfrith went part of the way on horseback and part of the way being carried on a litter, as he was becoming ill. He reached Langres around 9am on 25 September. He died there on 29 September 716.

Recorded in Milan, with Lorenzo Di Biasi (www.sartoria57studio.it/).

Immersed in the intense green of nature,we enjoy, 
as long as we are allowed, 
the light breeze of the wind that caresses our faces!

---- Paroles :

Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule contre toi, 
Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule avec toi.

Quand tu me touches,
Tout se bouscule en moi,
Tes mains, ta bouche,
Tes yeux contre moi.

Quand tu me frôles, 
Le souffle court déjà, 
Je ne sais plus où je suis.

Ton âme caresse ma peau,
Je frissonne de toi,
Ton corps écrit quelques mots,
Je frissonne déjà.

Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule contre toi, 
Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule avec toi.

Je veux te sentir, 
Tout contre moi, 
Je veux te sentir, 
Juste là.

Quand tu m’enlaces,
Tes yeux me parlent tout bas,
Je sens la lumière au bout de tes doigts.

Un goût de nous,
Un goût de je ne sais quoi,
Je ne sais plus où je suis.

Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule avec toi.

Et je brûle,
Je brûle,
Je brûle pour toi,
Je bascule, 
Je bascule avec toi. 
Et je brûle,
Je brûle,
Je brûle déjà,
Je bascule contre toi.

Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule avec toi, 
Et je brûle pour toi, 
Je bascule contre toi.
Et je brûle.
