Il voyage en solitaire [English translation]

He travels alone

And no-one forces him to be silent.

He sings the earth.

He sings the earth.

And it's a life without mystery

Which speaks for itself.

For whole days,

He sings the earth.

But he's alone.

One day,

Love

Left him, it went

To tour the other side

Of a city where there wasn't enough place

To park.

He travels alone

And no-one forces him to be silent.

He knows what he has to do.

He sings the earth.

He remains the only volunteer

And, since he has nothing more to do,

Stronger than a whole army,

He sings the earth

But he's alone.

One day,

Love

Left him, it went

To tour the other side

Of a city where there wasn't enough place

To park

And look, here's the miracle, in short:

It's then that his song is good

Because it's for the joy that (the earth) gives him

That he sings the earth
