Chantal Allon is a writer-composer-performer who takes authenticity seriously. She has never sacrificed anything to the altar of fame and it’s too bad if her successes have often been private ones.
Her favourite themes are those of love and its associated joy and pain. She also likes to champion Man in the face of his existential problems and to expose the failings of a society that abandons the weakest by the side of the road. She tackles the most mystical subjects with astonishing simplicity and her lyrics become the vehicle of powerful messages. She addresses the Creator of the Universe, anxious to voice the silent protest of a suffering civilisation striving to create a new world that has been promised generation after generation.
“Les chemins d'exil” (The Paths of Exile), her latest work, reveals the inner struggle of those who believe and those who doubt so much because of the apparently impenetrable silence from heaven in this world racked by violence and injustice.
Chantal Allon has written almost all the French lyrics for the composer and performer Robert Lauri and he has written and arranged all the music on this album.
The Allon-Lauri duo has succeeded in creating a real osmosis between the lyrics and the music, giving rise to profound, moving and timeless songs thanks to an inclination towards sober and sensitive arrangements that leave lots of room for Chantal Allon’s vibrant interpretation.
“SINAI” is the first track from her latest album. She seems to have found an audience judging by all the interest aroused to date, which is encouraging.
Chantal Allon, an atypical artiste and a career worth keeping an eye on!.......
Translation of the song lyrics SINAI by Chantal Allon :
I've known some who doubt,
Others who dread You,
Some gone astray who cross your path,
Those who came back from You,
Some disillusioned by your law,
Those who no longer walk in your step
The lost lovers,
Voices that fell silent,
And who no longer sing our ways,
Wounded soldiers from a faith gone astray,
That just a sign from you will bring back.
I've known some who come
Others who return to you
Scared of their uncertain laws,
Fallen angels who mourn,
At the gates of your heart,
That error has broken in pain.
And then hands outstretched,
Distraught looks,
Forests of souls above the stars.
Those who have fled the world,
From those shadowy ghettos,
But that a sign from You shall comfort.
Just a sign from You,
Give us just a sign,
As strong as those of the past.
Sinai your law will always dictate our law,
May the day of return come.
I've known some who tremble,
And others who bring together
Messengers of time miracles.
Just a sign from You,
Give us just a sign,
As strong as those of the past.
Sinai your law will always dictate our law,
May the day of return come.
I've known some who watch over,
Others who awake us,
And lie in wait for any of your gestures.
From these hearts so pure,
Make a wall weep,
To have stones talk one by one.
Of those souls who rise,
Bringing with them
Sparks of an eternal flame.
