Chant de Paix, by Noga (RTS / Switzerland) | New European Songbook 2018

The voice: that is where everything begins, stems from, for Noga. It is the organ, the invisible cord that connects all her lives, whether she is on stage in concert, giving improvisation lessons through Catalyse, the organisation she founded in Geneva, or taking part in contemporary art performances.

Lyrics:
In the noise without light
Dig even on your knees
Lie down in the earth
Vermine and mud
Terror and hatred
When men are mad
It was yesterday
only yesterday
It was yesterday
It is still
every day and everywhere
It was yesterday
only yesterday
It was yesterday
It is still
every day and everywhere
When the light returns
Hope has the taste
Of the fragrances of the earth
Such sweet blends
