La Terre tournera sans nous [English translation]

What do we believe, what do we hope?

The earth, it will turn without us

Without our delusions, our wildest dreams

And without this world that once was us

What do we hope, what do we believe?

Love owes us nothing at all

And for the others like for us

Love goes away, love doesn't care

Why always love without finishing?

Other suns, other mornings

A winter isn't a spring

We're not giants

That can mock time

Why dream of other lives

Why dream of symphonies?

It should last a day, I believe

Holding the melody

A day decides of his life

What do we believe, what do we want?

The misfortune has melted upon us

It stays for nothing more, nothing at all

Of this kingdom that once was us

Yet, yet it's not so crazy

This happiness was good to us

It kept it, that's all

Nothing for us, nothing for us

What do we believe, what do we hope?

Love owes us nothing at all

And for the others like for us

The earth turns, it will turn without us.
