Together, we share with you this francophone song entitled ” Dépasser l’ennui (l’ennemi) ” performed as a duet by singer-songwriters Frank Williams and Marty B. This duet is accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Guy Godin on guitar. The latter focuses on the stigma that exists in the mental health sector and, more specifically, suicide among men. The song reflects the feelings that a person may have when he or she thinks he or she is alone in his or her whirlwind of emotions. As such, it is an integral part of the music-conference “Le mal de trois males” (The Sickness of Three Males).
Lyrics
L’ennemi frappe si fort, Il détruit ma maison
(The enemy hits so hard, he destroys my house)
J’en ai perdu le nord, et l’amour des saisons
(I lost the north, and the love of the seasons)
Mon coeur est lourd et ma tête tourne en rond
(My heart is heavy and my head is spinning in circles)
Les feuilles tourbillonnment comme une journée d’automne
(The leaves swirl like a fall day)
À chaque coup de vent, moi, j’ai mal en dedans
(With each gust of wind, me, it hurts inside)
Mon coeur est lourd et ma tête tourne en rond
(My heart is heavy and my head is spinning in circles)
Comment faire pour trouver (How to find)
La confiance dans la vie (Confidence in life)
La force de continuer (The strength to continue)
Pour dépassser l’ennuie (To overcome boredom)
L’ennemi frappe si fort, que j’en perd la raison
(The enemy hits so hard that I lose my mind)
J’en ai perdu espoir, j’m’érase en dedans (I lost hope of it, I erase inside)
Mon coeur est lourd et ma tête tourne en rond
(My heart is heavy and my head is spinning in circles)
Comment faire pour trouver (How to find)
La confiance dans la vie (Confidence in life)
La force de continuer (The strength to continue)
Pour dépasser l’ennuie (To overcome boredom)
Comment faire pour trouver (How to find)
La confiance dans la vie (Confidence in life)
La force de continuer (The strength to continue)
Pour dépasser l’ennuie (To overcome boredom)
Comment faire pour trouver (How to find)
La confiance dans la vie (Confidence in life)
La force de continuer (The strength to continue)
Pour dépasser l’ennuie (To overcome boredom)
L’ennemi frappe si fort, il détruit ma maison…
(The enemy hits so hard, he destroys my house)
