about
The idea for this song came to me in the summer of 2020 while I was sitting in a beautiful garden with nothing more but a book and a coffee. However, I only finished writing it in March 2022.
While the original idea for the song came to me in French, I spontaneously mixed English and French while writing the lyrics of the verses. Since most of the books I am reading are either in English or French, it makes perfect sense, though!
This is the album version of the song.

lyrics
Un livre et un café
Assise dans un jardin
I don't need much
Le soleil m'étreint
I'm feeling its soft touch
Là entre les fleurs
The sunlight kisses me
J'y retrouve mon coeur
What more could I need
Car j'ai un livre et un café
C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Les mots déploient leur magie
J'oublie tous mes soucis
Loin d'ici
Sentant les pages entre mes doigts
I feel pure bliss
Je me perds dans les histoires
I'm in my happy place
L'air sent l'été
And there are butterflies
Près des azalées
I sit here with sparkling eyes
Car j'ai un livre et un café
C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Les mots déploient leur magie
J'oublie tous mes soucis
Loin d'ici
Et j'ai un livre et un café
C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Les mots déploient leur magie
J'oublie tous mes soucis
Loin d'ici
English translation:
Sitting in a garden
I don't need much
The sun embraces me
I'm feeling its soft touch
There between the flowers
The sunlight kisses me
I find my heart there
What more could I need
Because I have a book and a coffee
That's all I need to travel
Far from here
Far from here
Far from here
Words unfold their magic
I forget all my worries
Far from here
Feeling the pages between my fingers
I feel pure bliss
I get lost in the stories
I'm in my happy place
The air smells like summer
And there are butterflies
Near the azaleas
I sit here with sparkling eyes
Because I have a book and a coffee
That's all I need to travel
Far from here
Far from here
Far from here
Words unfold their magic
I forget all my worries
Far from here
And I have a book and a coffee
That's all I need to travel
Far from here
Far from here
Far from here
Words unfold their magic
I forget all my worries
Far from here
Assise dans un jardin
I don't need much
Le soleil m'étreint
I'm feeling its soft touch
Là entre les fleurs
The sunlight kisses me
J'y retrouve mon coeur
What more could I need
Car j'ai un livre et un café
C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Loin d'ici
Les mots déploient leur magie

Sentant les pages entre mes doigts

Look at the moon water. Thank God for making me smart. I listen to songs like this. We have overcome the snubbery of the world and survived. Now we make our lunar orbit. Try your best to absorb it. I like the genuinely good instrumentation. These songs are constructed intelligently so that listeners will enjoy it. Aliens await us with open arms.
