Des gens qui cherchent la lumière
People who seek the light
En pleine nuit
In the dead of night
Des gens qui courent après l'amour
People who chase love
Et qui le fuient
And who flee it
Des bras qui se lèvent pour un Dieu
Arms that rise for a God
Qu'ils ne voient pas
Whom they don't see
Moi, j'ai ta chair contre ma chair
Me, I have your flesh against my flesh
En ça je crois
In that I believe
Vivre pour le meilleur
To live for the best
Se vouloir pour tout se donner
To want each other to give everything
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Richer for keeping nothing
Que l'amour
But love
Des hommes qui n'ont que l'illusion
Men who only have the illusion
D'attendre un signe
Of waiting for a sign
Et des femmes qui pleurent leurs enfants
And women who mourn their children
Et restent dignes
And remain dignified
Toi, tu me rends plus fort chaque jour
You make me stronger each day
Sans dieux ni loi
Without gods nor law
Et quand nos corps se font l'amour
And when our bodies make love
Je sais pourquoi
I know why
Vivre pour le meilleur
To live for the best
Se vouloir pour tout se donner
To want each other to give everything
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Richer for keeping nothing
Que l'amour
But love
Que l'amour
But love
Oui, vivre pour vivre libre
Yes, to live to live free
Aimer tout ce qu'on peut aimer
To love all we can love
Encore et toujours ne vouloir
Still and always to only want
Que l'amour, que l'amour
Only love, only love
Vivre pour le meilleur
To live for the best
Se vouloir pour tout se donner
To want each other to give everything
Plus riche de ne rien garder
Richer for keeping nothing
Que l'amour
But love
Que l'amour
But love
Oui, vivre pour vivre libre
Yes, to live to live free
Aimer tout ce qu'on peut aimer
To love all we can love
Encore et toujours ne vouloir
Still and always to only want
Que l'amour, que l'amour
Only love, only love
