C'est pas toujours au bout du monde
It's not always at the end of the world
C'est pas forcément loin d'ici
It's not necessarily far from here
Y'a bien des espoirs qui se fondent
There are many hopes that are founded
En ne relevant rien qu'un défi
By taking on nothing but a challenge
Va, où tu veux
Go wherever you want
Va, où ça vit
Go, where it lives
Va, comme tu peux
Go as best you can
Mais reste pas assis
But don't sit still
Là où ça pleure
Where it cries
Là où ça crie
Where it screams
Là ou ailleurs
There or elsewhere
Mais reste pas assis
But don't sit still
Va, où tu veux

Va, où ça vit

Là où ça pleure
Where it cries
Là où ça rit
Where it laughs
Là ou ailleurs
There or elsewhere
Mais reste pas assis
But don't sit still
Reste pas assis
Don't sit still
Derrière nos portes on se retranche
Behind our doors we take refuge
Nos judas nous font tout petits
Our peepholes make us very small
Si c'est pas pour relever les manches
If it's not to roll up the sleeves
À quoi aurait servi Gandhi

Faut soit partir, soit rester

Comme Mahatma l'a fait
Like Mahatma did
Faut pas dormir, s'allonger

Faut pas subir et pas rester planté
Don't suffer and don't stay stuck
Sans agir, sans bouger
Without acting, without moving
