These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Toi, ma terre
You, my land
De mon père et de ma mère
From my father and mother
Un goût amer
A bitter taste
Me surprend quand je pense au vert
Surprises me when I think of green
De tes figuiers et a ton front de mer
From your fig trees and your waterfront
Moi je chante fière de mes racines
I sing proud of my roots
Mon pays, ma terre, mes origines
My country, my land, my origins
Je les porterais comme un insigne x2
I'd wear them like an x2 badge
C'est une prière
It's a prayer
Pour ne plus voir pleurer ces mères
To stop seeing these mothers cry
Comme un frère
Like a brother
Aime ton prochain
Love your neighbor
Et fait taire
And shut it up
Cette voix qui te pousse a la guerre
That voice that drives you to war
Moi je chante fière de mes racines
I sing proud of my roots
Mon pays, ma terre, mes origines
My country, my land, my origins
Je les porterais comme un insigne x2
I'd wear them like an x2 badge
Je ne connais pas ma destinée
I don't know my destiny
Ni les mistères de mon passé
Nor the wrilies of my past
Je sais simplement d'où je vient
I just know where I'm coming from
Et avec ca j'irais loin
And with that I would go far
Moi je chante fière de mes racines
I sing proud of my roots
Mon pays, ma terre, mes origines
My country, my land, my origins
Je les porterais comme un insigne x4
I'd wear them like an x4 badge
