Les Acrobates - The acrobats


You're going to laugh, maybe
You're going to smile, I believe
The irony often teases tenderness
I approach with neither malice (maliciousness) or makeup (the plain unvarnished truth)

They're going to cry, maybe
I'm watching (for something/being on the look out for something)
They're going to smile, I believe
They know all about what appeases (calms/soothes) me and the rest
Look after (watch over) the right (exact) eliquilibrium (balance/stability) in me

I suspend (postpone) the acrobatics moves
The space
Of a loving gesture
Of a thank you
This light bonus of fright (fear)
Is for my Mother, my Father, my Sister
Simply

When I forget what my name is and the rest
It's toward you that I guide
My steps
