[C'est] la fête [English translation]

Look, everything changed this morning:

I don’t understand any of it.

It’s a party, a party!

Young and old, large and small,

We’re all friends.

It’s a party, a party!

It’s like a big sunburn, a chaotic wind

Nothing is the same anymore today.

The world dead and buried

To revive ;

We can breathe.

It’s a party, a party!

More noise, more smoke,

Since we’re all going on foot.

It’s a party, a party!

The bread and wine are free,

And the flowers too.

It’s a party, a party!

It’s like a big sunburn, a chaotic wind

Nothing is the same anymore today.

Since the time we dreamed of it,

And died of it ;

It’s here.

It’s a party, a party!

Damn is my city beautiful,

Without these fucking trucks.

No more diesel but plenty of grass

All the way to the tarmac.

Damn is my city beautiful.

With these kids playing,

Joking around and breaking everything.

Who are no longer afraid of the wolf.

And water, it’s really water

That we can drink from the pit of the streams.

Come dance in the street;

It’s not defended anymore.

It’s a party, a party!

Truthfully, I tell you:

It’s paradise.

It’s a party, a party!

It’s like a big sunburn, a chaotic wind

Nothing is the same anymore today.

We have our eyes open wide

On freedom

And freedom

It’s a party, a party!

It’s a party, a party! (x2)
