Ensemble Et Maintenant Lyrics in English David Hallyday

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ensemble Et Maintenant by David Hallyday from French to English.
Men down, others on their knees
Dreams in dust or dragged through the mud
Where are we
Women, mothers, others who cry
Shouts of anger to hide their pain
What can we do
For another step
For a new start
That leaves nobody out
Who should we believe
It's together and now
While there's still time
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
It's together and now
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it
Words of war, words of love
Empty words like in too many speeches
What are we waiting for
Sisters, brothers of the same color
Lands without borders to overcome our fears
What must we do
For another step
For a new start
That leaves nobody out
Who should we believe
It's together and now
While there's still time
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
It's together and now
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it
While here, everything still needs doing
Before it's too late
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
While here, everything still needs doing
Before it's too late
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
It's together and now
While there's still time
Where our beliefs take us
Is heaven worth it
It's together and now
Not elsewhere, not otherwise
If our prayers stay vain
Is heaven worth it

SONG MEANING

**“Ensemble Et Maintenant” invites us to look at the world’s pain with open eyes and do something about it. David Hallyday paints vivid scenes of people on their knees, mothers in tears, and dreams dragged through the mud, then throws us a lifeline: unity. The chorus rings out like a stadium chant—Together and right now!—reminding us that real change is possible only if we act as one, without delay.

Instead of waiting for some distant paradise to fix things, the song asks a bold question: If our prayers go unanswered, is heaven even worth it? Hallyday challenges empty speeches and borders, urging sisters, brothers, and every color of humanity to take “one more step” toward a fresh start that leaves no one behind. It is both a protest anthem and a hope-filled rally cry, pushing listeners to swap passive wishing for collective action while there is still time.
