Résiste [English translation]

When they plan for you a greatly directed life

Where you'll soon forget yourself

When they have you dancing on a mainstream and sad1 music

As when you leave a lover

When you realise that this isn't the life you want

That every morning you wake up with no goal to reach

Resist

Prove (the world) that you're existing

Look everywhere after your happiness, go (and),

Refuse this selfish world

Resist

Follow your heart that is leading you.

This world is not the one you want, come on,

Fight (for it), sign and persist in doing what you have to

Resist

So much freedom for so much sadness

Is it worth it?

When they want you to deny your mistakes

This is not the reason why you are being loved

When you realise that there is no love whatsoever

That you go to bed each night

With no dream within you

Resist

Prove (the world) that you're existing

Look everywhere after your happiness, go (and),

Refuse this selfish world

Resist

Follow your heart that is leading you.

This world is not the one you want, come on,

Fight (for it), sign and persist in doing it

Resist

Dance for a new beginning of the world

Dance for those who are afraid

Dance for all those hearts

that have this right to happiness...

Resist (x3)

Resist

Prove (the world) that you're existing

Look everywhere after your happiness, go (and),

Refuse this selfish world

Resist

Follow your heart that is leading you.

This world is not the one you want, come on,

Fight (for it), sign and persist in doing it

Resist
