These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Sur la Terre tant de visages
On Earth so many faces
Dans les villes, dans les villages
In the cities, in the villages
Mais qui parmi ces fourmis
But who among these ants
A mis peut être un ami
Maybe put a friend
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Si on se rencontrait
If we met
Et dans tous ces inconnus
And in all these strangers
Ces gens qui passent dans la rue
These people passing in the street
Sont des âmes oui mais
Are souls yes but
On ne les connaîtra jamais
We will never know them
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Et bien si on se parlait
Well if we talked
Dans tous ces passants, je sens
In all these passers-by, I feel
Comme des sentiments dedans
Like feelings inside
Des compagnons, des âmes-soeurs
Companions, soulmates
Qui conviendraient à mon coeur
Who would suit my heart
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Et si on s'arrêtait
What if we stopped
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
