Gabrielle Roda : les aiguilles du temps

"As if she was calling me…

I first discovered Bjork in Paris, when she sang at the Elysée Montmartre. First concert, first thrill… It was on February 18th, 1994. Fan from the begining of this extraordinary artist, my ticket for this great concert was the number 0001. Touched by her grace, I cried for the first time at a concert. Bjork, that night, freely gave me what any other artist had not given me before…

As a reply to this force, I wanted to create… This song " In a sigh " is dedicated to my foreign sister.

Above notes and words, this song is in relation to spiritual images… In a sigh, a shell up to my ear… She is Sagittarius and I am Gemini…

The " oh oh oh oh " in the chorus call to mind the echos between French volcanos and Iceland volcanos…

A video clip is about to be shot…"

Gabrielle Roda

lyrics

In a sigh, inside you
In a sigh, I found you
Far away, so long ago
There was a place we used to go

In a sigh, reminds me
Where you hide, beside me
Can you see where shadows meet ?
Can you hear what you reveal ?

In a sigh, in a sigh
A shell up to my ear
In a sigh
Bring to me a dream from the sea
From the blue all is clear

Deeper than a prayer
Deeper than a prayer
Oh oh oh oh...
In a sigh

In a sigh
So light upon a breeze
On a wave, stay with me
I'll close my eyes
And keep your secrets near
Show me all I need to know
A quiet sign
Of where we'll go
When you are here

In a sigh, remember
In a sigh, a thread for you to hold
I was there at the end of the road
In a sigh
In a sigh
In a wish of
My own

French version

Petite voix, intérieure
Petite voix, un ailleurs
L'horizon tout près de soi
En insulaire, ta petite voix

Petite voix, une lueur
Petite voix, la chaleur
Le soleil au creux des doigts
La vie ouverte, ta petite voix

Petite voix, Petite voix
Tout ce feu dans l'air
Petite voix
C'est un secret gardé en mer
Dans le froid d'un courant

Plonger mes prières
Plonger mes prières
Oh oh oh oh…
Petite voix

Petite voix
Nager la nuit entière
Vers ma sœur étrangère
Rapportez-moi
Une poignée de terre
Pour y voir enfin semée
Dans un silence
La résonance
L'écho de ma voix

Petite voix, intérieure
Petite voix, fragile côté du cœur
Doucement je viens t'y rejoindre
Ta Petite voix
Petite voix
Dans un rêve
D'unisson…
