Yellow quince... cover art

Paroles

Sweet, yellow light
As I was a child.
My mother put a quince
That ripens slowly by the window...
I would bite it, but it hurts,
A kind of longing seizes me...
And now that the year passes
I feel like I'm getting older.

My mother had no baubles,
No tinsel or star...
She decorated the winter holidays
With quince...
My mother put a quince
By the window facing the road...
And I see it shining,
I don't have the strength to consume it.

Yellow quince...
Bittersweet...
Lamp by the window
Our whole life!
Lamp by the window
Our whole winter!
