Vivre Ou Mourir Ensemble [English translation]
Vivre Ou Mourir Ensemble [English translation]
.
It's natural to be afraid. From there comes the courage
How to dream in color when the future only announce the storm
The happiness we tinker disappears in the gloom
May our hopes are isolated of the madness that shears
Bloody bitterness, days of darkness
With tinted haze lights, unearths funeral grudges
A choir of sobbing croons our afflictions
Carries our burdens, sings our desolation hums
Hatred played footsie with us, proposed us a dance
Fatal and rhythmed on the tempo of our vengeance
If dreams of peace indeed lie dormant in everyone
One can lose his humanity in a maze of grief
How reasoning, when we must do face to the soldiers of dementia
Fear will make us prisoners of clemency enemies
Architects of destruction, masons of horror
Cultivators of abomination, who confuse beauty and ugliness
Memory and bitterness, desire for justice and fury
Firing of bullets on the crowd as blind as their heart
Immersed in excess, drowned in vanity
Most ignorants believe they're elite of humanity
The follies of anger reveal us to ourselves
We know what we can tolerate just when we faced with extreme
Only one thunder of violence muffles our rhetoric
And we blowin' ready to throw France into Eric Zemmour' civil war
This is the game of the division, the trade, and terror
How to sink the nation in unreason and then in horror
Heads of sordid orchestras instrumentalize our sorrows
Poor greedy who hate more than they love
Usually, those who want confrontation ignore its reality
Their arrogance is matched only by their cowardice
They blow on the embers, stashed in their comfort
Make us sing Marseillaise As long as death remains odorless
They think the war but never wears the trellis
When we need more cemeteries, they'll flee the country
Leaving it there, left to itself in fire and blood
Behind the colors of the flag are hiding these enemies of the
Nation
Sowers of disorders, cunners, neurotics
Venom spitters with heart ossified
Unabashed racists who conceptualize hatred
But even the Nazis had their intellectuals
Let us learn from the past; there are not even 100 years the unthinkable became truth
Their speeches put into words what their heart wants in
secret
Finally feeling soothed when Muslims are hunted
When Muslims will be penned, persecuted for their
choices
Only when Muslims will be parked, executed for their faith
They want us to immerse in a total war with no future
In this, the terrorists themselves pursue the same purpose
Gasping for breath, France is snorkeling
Now we realize how much peace is precious
Should we lose a blessing to appreciate its value?
One must be near the fire to feel the heat?
In this globalized World, Baghdad is no longer so far away
And we have only brushed against the horror of their daily
Brutal is the awakening of our carefree years
How many people wake up every day in a state of emergency
Filled with compassion, when terror besieges us
We have other concerns than to enjoy our privileges
Libya to Syria, they reproduce the same mistakes
Their foreign policy makes us bleed inside
Warrior expansion, barely disguised
Pecuniary ambitions under cover of humanity
Arbitrary convictions and unjustified silences
Vulgar use of the concept of freedom
Survival of yours needs necessary the death of others?
Surgical strikes. Sure? In a hospital?
How condemn here while you're financing there?
We're hostages of these power games you make
pass for fights
Blood on their hands, the Petroleum in the retina
The alleged human rights every day they trample them
Support those who fight, fight against those
they support
Demagogues bureaucrats schizophrenic policy
[Outro]
Hatred glue us like a shadow
Since hawks shoot doves
I'm still trying to show myself as loving
A sane mind ruled by insane
We can't touch the ground in this sea of blood
Our desire for peace swim against the tide
The rain falling on beautiful dried hearts
One rarely sees the rocks in bloom
Peace is a cease of fire
Someones laugh at what moves us
While crazies kill innocents
I escape in the smile of a child
Each of our nights awaits his sun
Must we die to exit sleep
We no longer have the choice, and it seems to me
We should live or die together
