La vie ne m'apprend rien [English translation]

Who dares to tell me he can teach me about the feelings?

Or show me what to to to be great?

Who can change what I'm carrying in my blood?

Who has the right to forbid me to be alive?

On which side are the good or the bad people?

Their evangiles made me a faithless.

Life doesn't teach me anything

I just wanted to talk a little, choose a train *

Life doesn't teach me anything

I would like to cling to something, take a way, take a way

CHORUS

But I can't, I don't know*

And I'm still stuck there

It aren't the laws that make the men anymore but some men who make the law

But I can't, I don't know

And I'm still stuck there

To those who believe that my money make my head sleep

I tell that it's not enough to be poor to be honest

They maybe believe that freedom can be bought

What is there left of the ideals under the shellfire

When their preachers are sheltered from the fight

The lives of the dead aren't saved by medals anymore

Life doesn't teach me anything

I just wanted to talk a little, choose a train*

Life doesn't teach me anything

I would like to cling to something, take a way, take a way

CHORUS
