Hiro [English translation]

[Intro]

I wish I could travel through the time

I wish I could travel through the time

[Verse 1]

If I had Hiro Nakamura’s power

I would go back to the birth of my children Lenny and Inaya

I would have gone to Sanaa

And boycott the take off A310 plane of Yemenia

I would have gone and see my grandfather for a last time to tell him that I take care of his daughter, may he rest in peace

I would have gone and meet Martin Luther King

And after his speech, I would have shown him the picture of Barack Obama

I would have gone in Harlem Temple

And push out Malcolm from the stage before than the bullet hits him

I would have gone to Mandela's jail and told him to be strong, your ideas will become President of South-Africa

For those who love Lady Diana

I would have made a terrific traffic jam under the Alma Bridge

I would have gone to Bahamas

Not for holidays but to empty the hold of the plane where was Aaliyah

[Indila]

We can't change the past

But the future is ours

Be the change that you want to see in the world

[Bridge]

I would have liked to travel through time

I would have liked to travel through time

I would have liked to travel through time

[Verse 2]

If I had Hiro Nakamura’s power

I would have been to Kinshasa to see Muhammad Ali fighting

Then celebrate the Comoros's first independence day

And hold tight my grandfather in my arms

then go straight to Paris-Dakar in the savanna

to stop the helicopter of Daniel Balavoine

I love truth of people that have a red nose

I would have punctured the tires of Coluche's motorbike

I would have gone to Medine to welcome Muhammad

Then go to see Moses crossing the red sea

I would have been there, on the birth day of the son of Mary

Two hours later joining Gandhi's salt march

I would have went take a seat nearby Rosa Parks

And to Woodstock to see Jimmy Hendrix's live

I would have gone to Motown's birthday

To see Mickael perform moonwalk

I would have gone to New York

To sound the alarm at 7 am in the twin towers

I would have gone to Irak

To teach to journalists how to target with their shoes

I would have gone to Afghanistan

Throw out the video recorder of last Commandant Massoud's interview

I would have been in Angola

and ask to Adebayor’s team not to go now

I would have gone to Clichy-sous-Bois

to switch off the electricity block before Zyed an Bouna came in

I would have gone to Kunta Kinte or on Goree Island

To give them guns before the come in of the settlers

I would have meet army's african soldierswho fought for freedom to tell them that one insults their sons as fuckin’ immigrants

I would have gone to Austria to avoid that Adolf Hitler's parent meet together ever

But even if I had the Nakamura’s power

What could I done against Haiti's Earthquake, the Tsunami or Katrina ?

And for Alaska ?

Everything that nature gave us,

she will take it back

So many things that I wish I could change or live

So many things that I wish I could delete or live again

But that's impossible my friend

I take a breath and I blow ma thirtieth candle

[Outro]

I would have liked to travel through time

But we can only live in the present

We can only live in the present

[Indila]

Be here and now live your life!

The world is awaiting for a better future, we're one and we're willing to share love and happiness

But all we can do is live the present time
