Chanter [English translation]

Singing

Singing to forget our pains,

To rock a child, singing,

To be able to say "I love you"

And singing at every moment.

To beg the sky together

In one and only church,

Finding again the essential and doing

everything so that silence breaks.

Upon the barricades,

Bound hands and feet,

Covering the shoots,

Singing without stopping.

And uniting our voices

Around the wine that inebriates,

Singing for someone who's passing away,

Not to stop living.

For someone who's passing away

Not to stop living.

Singing

For the one who's born, loving him,

Teaching him only love,

Forming only a single round,

Singing again and always.

A new day is just born,

Being able to still be amazed about it,

despite everything, singing louder and louder.

What I only can do is singing.

And uniting our voices

Around the wine that inebriates,

Singing someone who's going

Not to stop living.

What I can do is only sing

For someone who's passing away

Not to stop living.

Singing,

To forget our pains,

To rock a child... singing,

To be able to say "I love you"

And singing at every moment.

Upon the barricades,

Bound hands and feet,

Covering the shoots,

Singing without stopping.

And uniting our voices

Around the wine that inebriates,

Singing for someone who's passing away,

Not to stop living...

What I can do is only sing

For someone who's passing away

Not to stop living...
