Vivre maintenant [English translation]

[Verse 1]

We're one, plus one, plus one, plus one

Happiness isn't defined by genes

You can't lock it in a cage or shackle it with chains

Our paths are not always written in pain

It can spring from the palms of hands rooting for each other

Or from a loved one when you read I love you on their lips

From those moments so important in the course of a life

When everyone is clapping their hands, chanting their joy

In rythme[?]

Sometimes you bump into smiles, sometimes into mistrust

We dream of the good times, after we scream more than we think

On day it's a stir, another it's tears, happiness doesn't come alone and can wipe away the tears

Reveal the beauty in chaos, strength where you didn't expect it

Haul us up out of the hole when nothing's going right

Playing down a failure we thought was too great

Stop hating people that are different from us

The communion of a people celebrating a victory

Contaminated by the hearts filled with hope

It's coming at full speed through the fields

Tomorrow ? No, we're living it now

[Chorus]

Nothing's gonna fall rom the skies, so why wait ?

Smiling times we gotta relive now

Happiness isn't coiled up in chance, it's to be won, it's to be taken, we gotta chose now

[Verse 2]

One plus one and from us it is born

Its strenght at the bottom of the heart slowly awakened

I was predicted evil but I defied the curves

I followed what I learned, then I veered of my course

Understood happiness is just about living

Doing what we want, simply being free

And fulfil all these dreams in our heads

Otherwise not far from us hate and bitterness are creeping

We wanna stay down and keep turning the failure over

Thinking those who're happy are all those who posses

The thousand-pages Book of my Dreams XXX

All that I want : is to live now

[Chorus]x2
