Derrière la saleté
Behind the dirt
S'étalant devant nous
Spreading out in front of us
Derrière les yeux plissés
Behind the wrinkled eyes
Et les visages mous
And soft faces
Au-delà de ses mains
Beyond his hands
Ouvertes ou fermées
Open or closed
Qui se tendent en vain
Stretching in vain
Ou qui sont poing levé
Or that are fist raised
Plus loin que les frontières
Beyond borders
Qui sont de barbelés
Which are barbed wire
Plus loin que la misère
Beyond misery
Il nous faut regarder
We have to look
Il nous faut regarder
We have to look
Ce qu'il y a de beau
What's beautiful
Le ciel gris ou bleuté
The grey or bluish sky
Les filles au bord de l'eau
Girls at the water's edge
L'ami qu'on sait fidèle
The friend we know faithful
Le soleil de demain
The sun of tomorrow
Le vol d'une hirondelle
The Flight of a Swallow
Le bateau qui revient
The boat that's coming back
L'ami qu'on sait fidèle
The friend we know faithful
Le soleil de demain
The sun of tomorrow
Le vol d'une hirondelle
The Flight of a Swallow
Le bateau qui revient
The boat that's coming back
Par delà le concert
Beyond the concert
Des sanglots et des pleurs
Sobs and tears
Et des cris de colère
And cries of anger
Des hommes qui ont peur
Men who are afraid
Par delà le vacarme
Beyond the din
Des rues et des chantiers
Streets and construction sites
Des sirènes d'alarmes
Alarm sirens
Des jurons de charretiers
The swearing of carts
Plus fort que les enfants
Stronger than children
Qui racontent les guerres
Who tell the story of the wars
Et plus fort que les grands
And stronger than the big ones
Qui nous les ont fait faire
Who made us do them
Il nous faut écouter
We have to listen
L'oiseau au fond des bois
The bird at the bottom of the woods
Le murmure de l'été
The whisper of summer
Le sang qui monte en soi
The blood that rises in itself
Les berceuses des mères
Mothers' lullabies
Les prières des enfants
Children's prayers
Et le bruit de la terre
And the sound of the earth
Qui s'endort doucement
Falling asleep gently
Les berceuses des mères
Mothers' lullabies
Les prières des enfants
Children's prayers
Et le bruit de la terre
And the sound of the earth
Qui s'endort doucement
Falling asleep gently
