Le Dernier Siècle Lyrics in English Fortune Cookie Club
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Dernier Siècle by Fortune Cookie Club from French to English.
En un siècle, regarde ce qu'on a fait
In a century, look what we've done
Éliminé la moitié des espèces
Eliminated half of the species
En un siècle, on s'est exclu de la nature
In a century, we have excluded ourselves from nature
Sous prétention de façonner le futur
Under the pretense of shaping the future
Mais à quoi donc sert le progrès
But what is progress for?
S'il ne nous rend pas meilleur?
What if it doesn't make us better?
Dans la grande marche du progrès
In the great march of progress
Combien tombent, ô combien meurent?
How many fall, oh how many die?
Dans nos ateliers, nos usines
In our workshops, our factories
Dans nos champs et dans nos mines
In our fields and in our mines
On a le souffle coupé
We have our breath taken away
Souffre sans s'écouter
Suffer without listening to yourself
On a le souffle coupé
We have our breath taken away
La conscience voûtée
The hunched conscience
Y'aura pas de justice, y'aura pas de changement
There will be no justice, there will be no change
Sans changer notre nature profonde
Without changing our deep nature
Y'aura pas de victoire, y'aura pas de changement
There will be no victory, there will be no change
Si le climat social ne change pas
If the social climate does not change
On n'admet pas notre ignorance
We don't admit our ignorance
Dérision et insolence
Derision and insolence
Y'aura pas de développement durable
There will be no sustainable development
Tant que l'Autre est exploitable
As long as the Other is exploitable
Comme si t'achetais des indulgences
Like you're buying indulgences
Tu plantes des arbres, signes une autre entente
You plant trees, sign another agreement
On a le souffle coupé
We have our breath taken away
Souffre sans s'écouter
Suffer without listening to yourself
On a le souffle coupé
We have our breath taken away
La conscience voûtée
The hunched conscience
Yeah
Yeah
Tous connectés
All connected
Yeah
Yeah
Dans l'arrogance
In arrogance
Yeah
Yeah
Déconnectés
Disconnected
Yeah
Yeah
Dans l'insouciance
In the carefree
