Two souls (A la d​é​rive)

by Peregrine Wade

/

about

A bilingual duet between the living and the dead, heavily inspired by musical theatre.

lyrics

[Person] I'm at my wits' end, I could really use a friend
[Ghost] Repose-toi donc à l'ombre
Tranquille de ma tombe
[Person] May I?
[Ghost] Allez-y.
[Person] This grass is nice, I might stay...
[Ghost] Je ne parle pas l'anglais...
[Person] That's okay... I'm a psychic anyway!

[Instrumental]

[Ghost] Je sais bien que demain
Te semblera lointain
Qu'il n'y a rien à faire--
[Person] This burden is so hard to bear--
Que c'est la nature de l'univers--
[Person] I used to be good at this, I swear--
[Ghost] Qui nous attire vers notre fin.

[Person] But every morning I wake up
Feeling that I'm not enough--
[Ghost] Ma chanson est terminée
La tienne ne fait que commencer--
[Person] But every morning I wake up
Feeling that I'm not enough--
[Ghost] Ta chanson n'appartient qu'à toi
Il suffit d'un peu de foi en soi-même--
[Person] -- no thanks to them,
Who made this world the roughest ride
But survival is a point of pride
When one is lost -- like me --

[Ghost, contrapuntally] Deux âmes à la dérive...
[Person, contrapuntal, then in unison] Two lost souls are we...
