about

Chris's first single in his second language, French, is a stripped-down and wistful piece of indie folk that plumbs the depths of a personal ocean with the song's namesake.

lyrics

Ma Baleine

Ma baleine
Plonge dans les profondeurs
J'aimerais tant la suivre
Mais j’ai trop peur
Alors, je reste en place
Je flotte à la surface
En attendant qu’elle revienne
Ma baleine

Ma baleine
M’a expliqué une fois
Quand je disparais
Je ne suis jamais loin de toi

Dans la mer sans rivage
Je me nourris et je nage
Pour me garder pleine
Ma baleine

Quand elle sort de l’eau
Et retombe sur le dos
Un ange de l’océan
Je reconnais la forme
D’un amour trop énorme
Que je comprends à peine

Ma baleine
Voyage dans le temps
À travers l’univers
En chantant son vieux chant
Ce soir je vais l’accompagner
On pourrait se rencontrer la tienne
Ta baleine
Ta baleine
La tienne
Ta baleine
