Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien là
Le vent nous portera
Ton message à la Grande Ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
Un instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien va
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera
La caresse et la mitraille
Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera
Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant dis ?
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ce qui peut frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destins
On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera
Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous porter
[translation]
Unafraid of where the road may take me
We'll see, we'll have to savor
Twists and turns, the hollow of your back
It will be all right
The wind will take them
Your transmission to the Big Dipper
And the course of the race
An instant of soft velvet
Even if it's useless
The wind will take them
Everything passes but
The wind will carry us
Gentle kisses and machine gun bullets
And the wounds which torment us
The castles of old days
Of yesterday and today
The wind will take them
Genetics in backpacks
Chromosomes in the atmosphere
Taxis to the galaxies
And what about my magic carpet?
The wind will take it
Everything passes but
The wind will take it
The scent of lost years
Things that can come knocking
Infinite destinies
We pick one and what do we keep?
The wind will take it
While the tide rises
And each one totals up the scores
I take deep in my soul
Your remains and ashes
The wind will take them
Everything fades but
The wind will take us

Des méandres au creux des reins

Oh, RP sounds so good lately...! Not sure if they changed anything.
I can hear some more details than before, especially in the percussion and delicate singing. Beautiful. Incredible song, incredible cover!

The opening reminds me of Jeff Buckley’s “Last Goodbye.”
This woman.... Her voice and, other talents.... Saw only one video... Don't even recall what song but, it was like, a "real life skit" sort of thing... Where she sang and, stepped/danced to the others in video... Done outdoors....Seems to be a really positive, upbeat type of woman! The video was something that "puts a reality" on the artist! So cool! What a thrill it would be to actually meet her! Even seeing a show would be pretty damn great! 🥰
love this…

I am giving 10 to this cover, because of perfect emotional performance deeply relating with this songs atmosphere and dealing with loss and despair lyrics . Original has 9 from me.
Merci 🙏 RP

My understanding is the original version of this song was done by someone with some personal issues or problems or something. Playing this a lot now may have be a result? The driveing toe -tapping pluckiness of that version still has its allure to me, but this somber, haunting version does seem to fit the words now that I've seen the translation.
Wow what a great song!
I actually thought the guitar riff was Reckoner by Radiohead at first. The guitar generally has a Radiohead vibe… then it ramps up to include some brass, not to mention her voice is amazing. Really loving this

Jelani va ta faire enculer! Et ouais je me suis habitez en Suisse pendant cinque an.
I would like Radio Paradise to play the Noir Desir version of this song. It has more energy.
I cannot find it today but many years ago before Noir Desir, I heard a Russian protest song possibly by Vladimir Vysotsky that sounded very similar. Maybe Bertrand Cantat borrowed parts of it. I will have to find and run some music plagiarism software on it.
Pick a word: Soothing, moving, much, much, much more than amusing. let's say when listening to this beauty, "there's Nothing I'd rather be doing".

Interesting take.
Upon reading thru comments, seems about 50/50 on Sophie's version vs the original. So, I did as suggested, and went to YT music, and punched in the original band. Their version is ok. But, sorry for dissention but, Sophie put one helluva effort into her version, and it comes out far more soulful and heartfelt. IMO, her version stands far larger than the original.

Haters, spare us your bullshit, hit PSD and move on.
It's pleasant. I still prefer the original.
This is a nice cover, but in my mind the original is MUCH better.

I believe the translation you're commenting on is a word-for-word literal translation, lacking any of the poetry or nuance of the original text. I could be wrong, my French isn't good enough to give a more poetic translation.

Noir desir please
Should watch the french motion picture using this song at the end : Ma vie de Courgette
Heartbreaking !
This song is a monument. Should also take a look at the official video clip by Noir Désir and its explanation (the different phases of life)

I'm not afraid of the road
So let shall see, shall taste
Some windings in hollow of the kidneys
And all will be right there
The wind wil carry us
You message to the big bear
And the path of my run
An instantaneous of velvet
Even if it is useless
The wind will carry the day
All will disappear but
The wind will carry us
The caress and the grape shot
And this wound which tugs us
The palace of others days
Of yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry theim
Genetic in shoulder strap
Some chromosoms in atmosphere
Some taxis for the galaxies
And my flying carpet tell me ?
The wind will carry it
This perfume of our dead years
Those who can knock at your door
Infinity of destiny
We put one
And what do we retain of it ?
The wind will carry the day
While the tide mounts
and everybody make again his counts
I bring to the hollow of my shadow
Some dusts of you
The wind will wear theim
All will disappear but
The wind will carry us
So let shall see, shall taste
Some windings in hollow of the kidneys
And all will be right there

Now, this is a cover! She brings her own style, her own magic to the song. It doesn't diminish the original, but gives it a whole other dimension. I never understand when professional musicians cover to sound like the original, but Sophie certainly doesn't do that!

Just learned that Sophie recently did a cover of Steven Wilson's Song of I. How cool is that?
At first I thought I was so smart.. recognizing so many French words... then I realized it was the same song🙄
heard this first on FIP radio and now here !

A good cover, though I much prefer the original by Noir Desir. Still, the 7 1/2 average score sounds about right.
I like this cover. Just cranked it up.
Would also bet that the Berlin music scene is very cool.

agreed
I don't give out 10's very often. Take a 10, Sophie.
This is kind of OK, but the original is much better.
Cool version !
I do really love the original but this is really good and despite what has been said below, I thing this cover does bring something additional.

Getting tired of all these Le Vent Nous Portera incarnations on Radio Paradise. What else does French music culture have to offer us? Surely it isn't that narrow.

I like this one better than the original.
Love this tune.
Nice cover version.
Melancholic, lack lustre, .........running out of tepid adjectives here..........My, how my viewpoint has changed in 3 years.
Nouvelle version pour moi. Oui, meilleure que les autres.
La bonne femme a une belle voix.

Better than the original
Excellent cover, makes it sound her own. The original is epic too.

Here are 3 totally different French artists that can be heard on RP

There are more. Just do not have the time to look them up.

This is OK but the Noir Désir version is better.

8Gave it a 3; in the absence of the original (solid 8), I could rank this higher, but in the end, my conclusion is: why bother making a cover with so little new to offer? pxd

I LOVE IT! Nice version.
What is their not to like about this song? So beautiful.
This version too sombre and melancholy for me. The original has a more optimisitc yearning feeling
