Introduction in English:
Some of my friends accuse me of having a longing for death or even of glorifying death. In fact, I often deal with death in my lyrics - as I do in this song and the whole album that will be released in the next 12 to 15 months. 
But as with previous songs, I always say that I can enjoy life all the more by fully accepting death as an inevitable reality. Many people who try to suppress this fact constantly feel an underlying, agonising fear that tends to keep them away from the wonderful aspects of life. 
In addition, recognising that death is a constant companion from birth leads to even more profound gratitude for every day that I am allowed to live. 
The song ‘Rendezvous with Death’ was written at a time when I was at an important turning point in my life. During this phase, I realised that I had to let some things ‘die’ in order to continue living well. In this respect, this in-depth rendezvous was necessary in order to move forward again. Another example of how death and life are inextricably linked.


Lyrics in English

Rendezvous with Death

The dead comes very quietly
He sneaks up behind you unnoticed
He has stolen your lifelong dream
So don't even start making plans for the future

In the most beautiful kiss he takes your joy
In the greatest rush of life he simply unplugs you

He cradles you gently in his lap, lulls your mind, sings you to sleep
Before you awake, he draws you all the way in to himself 

He is waiting for you in the treetop 
Lean in, he takes you to himself
With every branch he has already grasped you
The dead

Deutscher Originaltext

Rendezvous mit dem Tod

Der Tod kommt auf ganz leisen Sohlen
Er schleicht sich unbemerkt von hinten an
Er hat Dir Deinen Lebentraum gestohlen
Drum‘ fang‘ erst gar nicht mit Zukunftsplänen an

Im schönsten Kuss nimmt er Dir Deine Freude
Im größten Rausch des Lebens stöpselt er Dich einfach aus

Er wiegt Dich sanft in seinem Schoß, lullt Dich ein, singt Dich in den Schlaf
Bevor Du erwachst zieht er Dich ganz zu sich hinein 

In der Baumkrone erwartet er Dich 
Lehn Dich an, er nimmt Dich zu sich
Mit jedem Ast hat er Dich schon erfasst
Der Tod

Rendezvous mit dem Tod (Rendezvous with the dead)

Rendez-vous mit dem Tod (Rendez-vous with Death)

The northern hemisphere is still in the middle of winter but we can dream of all those lovely warm days - past and future - on the beach with our loved ones!

It has been a long week at the office. And today is Valentine's Day. Let's pop around the corner to the small cosy jazz club we know so well. So many familiar faces, all those gentle jazz vibes floating in the air. But tomorrow is another day. Time to go home despite the rain - just thinking of all that jazz and all my love.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sleeping  :

Don't blame me
if I sleep
everything is moving too fast
Like a cat
I'd often rather dream
Than live my own life
We recover a lot of strength
When we sleep
The night brings advice
Everything is magic in our dream
Little star of light join the bear

Volcan
L'energie du soleil
la vie dans ses doigts
aux entrailles de la terre
la puissance du magma
doucement se réveille ...

Je sens comme un appel
la lumière d'un phare
un cri bien au delà
a  l'abri des regards
un chant millénaire ...

Volcano
The energy of the sun
life in his fingers
in the bowels of the earth
the power of magma
wake up slowly ...

I feel like a call
the light of a lighthouse
a cry far beyond
isolated
an old song ...

Volcan - Collaboration Steph OUNA & Lena & Cyril MENDEZ
