about

Golden Boy is the story of Anwar, a young boy obliged to cross the sea by boat to flee the war in his country. In a conversation with him, I try to comfort him and I confess that I don't really understand why this is happening to him. But one thing is for sure...he is a golden boy. His death won't be forgotten and his loss won't be in vain.

A story brought to life in music, words and drawn animation by the violinist of the band. But above all a tribute to all those children who suffer an unjust and painful fate due to human imperfection. The video was produced in support of the NGO Open Arms.

lyrics

Il arrive doucement
Sa carapace est une chose fragile
Mais ce qu’il ne sait pas
C’est que sa force est ailleurs

Il m’a demandé ce qu’il avait fait
Pour mériter une charge aussi lourde et folle
Je lui ai répondu que je ne savais pas vraiment
Qui avait décidé ça

S’il vous plait, donnez-lui la force de partir
Allégez le fardeau qu’il est prêt à porter
S’il vous plait montrez-lui la voie à suivre
Car je sais que c’est un garçon en or, un garçon en or

Balancé dans les vagues
Son corps est une chose fragile
Mais je sais que son âme sera
Toujours avec moi

S’il vous plait, dites-moi ce que nous sommes
Pour autoriser une vie si triste et douloureuse
Parce que je ne peux vraiment pas comprendre
Ce sort fou

S’il vous plait, donnez-lui la force de partir
Allégez le fardeau qu’il est prêt à porter
S’il vous plait montrez-lui la voie à suivre
Car je sais que c’est un garçon en or, un garçon en or
