Went off to swim oh eh oh
Went off to swim
To see the bottom of the water
See the bottom of the water oh eh oh
And from the bottom of the water water
See the boats pass by
Pass the boats oh eh oh
And see the images
Peaceful and flawless
Of a wild sea
Just by changing skin
Fish in the bird cage
Bird without plumage
Gone by the streams
Towards the wise rivers oh eh oh
And the wise rivers mingle with the rollers
Warm oceans oh eh oh
But in the luggage
One illusion too many
Believing that everything is beautiful
Below the level ze ro
And often the sea
Leaves such a bitter taste
When a friend like a brother
Falls from too high
There was nothing more we could do
It's written on his tomb
He left on
One trip too many
It was the dose that knocked him out
Who is the culprit oh eh oh
The horizon too black
Or the trouble of the water
Why did the wise child oh eh oh
Looked for the mirage
Elsewhere than in his skin
Fish in the cage
Will never be able to
Explain to the birds
That we always see too big
Below zero level
And often the sea
Leaves such a bitter taste
When a friend like a brother
Falls from too high
There was nothing more we could do
C 'is written' on his tomb
Left on
One trip too many
It was the dose that knocked him out
