J'avance [English translation]

Say, what good is it to walk on this Earth,

Without ever speaking to you…without ever approaching you ?

And the time that passes doesn’t make a difference at all.

Yes, this time that passes is so futile.

Say, what good is it to wander below the sky,

Without ever holding you…without ever smelling you ?

And the people who pass by, walk hand in hand…

And these people, who pass by, couldn’t care less.

But I continue, and I move forward.

Beyond the streets, I cast my hope.

And I continue, and I move forward.

Here, nothing is lost. But nothing is won beforehand.

And I continue, and I move forward, and I move forward.

Say, what good is it to spend the winters

Without gazing at you…without hugging you a little ?

When the persistent cold

Grasps me, hits me, and rolls over me,

Yes, your cold-heartedness whisks me away.

But I continue, and I move forward.

Beyond the streets, I cast my hope.

And I continue, and I move forward.

Here, nothing is lost. But nothing is won beforehand.

And I continue, and I move forward.

Towards these unknowns that are so many in presence.

And I continue, and I move forward, and I move forward.

Say, what good is it to call out prayers,

If no one hears, if everything always costs me ?

And my voice breaks

Knowing too well to keep silent, and my voice breaks,

But hopes.

But I continue, and I move forward.

Beyond the streets, I cast my hope.

And I continue, and I move forward.

Here, nothing is lost. But nothing is won beforehand.

And I continue, and I move forward.

Towards these unknowns that are so many in presence.

And I continue, and I move forward, and I move forward.

Say, what good is it to walk on this Earth,

Without ever speaking to you…without ever approaching you ?
