Parce qu'on vient de loin [English translation]

Because we come from far

(meaning we survived= Corneille survived the massacre in Rwanda where he saw his all family killed)

We are our own fathers

so young and yet so old

That reminds me, you know

We are our own mothers

So young and so serious

But it will change

We spend our time

Making plans for the day to come

While the nice time

Goes and let us empty and unsure

We waste too much time

Sweating and ruining our hands

What for if we are not sure to see tomorow ? For nothing

Chorus

So we live everyday as if it is was the last one

and you would do the same if only you knew

How many times the end of the world came close

So we live everyday as if it is was the last one

Because we come from far (meaning we survived= Corneille survived the massacre in Rwanda where he saw his all family killed)

But when time gets tough

We think our story can’t be true

and when the winter lasts

We say to ourselves the heat will come back

and it is easy like that

Days after days

We realise nothing is eternal

that is why even in Love

I will love every queen as if it was the last one

It is pressuring living only of prayers

As long as I am concern, I cherish every moment before the light turns down
