bastien keb - the city is beautiful lyrics

[spoken]
there are children here
babies and infants, those who still rest in their mother’s homes
there are children here
those of us who speak by listening
those of us who listen with our eyes and taste with our ears
those of us who know it is better to disappear than reappear
shaken, we shake ourselves
loose of fabricated identities
wе walk these streets until we floatеr
put your phone down
talk to the person beside you without saying a word
yep, [?], yo
you gon’ finish that?
hm, didn’t think so
all the times that time didn’t exist
all the memories that no one remembers
let us have a glimpse through silent eyes, mumbling ears
we feel what isn’t, but is always there
perharps, you need reassurance
as you gaze into asymmetrical webs
created by we who ceaselessly network
huh, not even our dead are erased
not a single foul misplaced, we remember everything
but we’ll never describe how in a city like us
resiliency is our only mission
we are as unnatural as the concrete which carefully covers ancient earth
filled with ruins below
above which some ruined folks unfortunately rest with no rest
as the others who know how to maneuver on this treacherous terrain
share what makes us exist forever
and at the same time ceaselessly complain
dig that jacket, hip as a shoulder
but then again, this is a city who gets younger as it get older
who is given fresh perspectives on ancient ways
it is not just the architecture
but the texture of the beings who live here in this night, this evening, this day
ever attempt to erase a shadow, it does not move
we who are here, we’re here for growth
and as we grow, we groove
maybe, you can’t get, maybe, your access is a bit low on the scale
huh, that’s all right, maneuver different
get to listening to those who speak without flinching
spare some change
