Voyager Lyrics in English Les Nubians
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Voyager by Les Nubians from French to English.
Sous un soleil entêté
Under a stubborn sun
N'djamena, la belle est réveillée
N'Djamena, the beauty is awake
Le muezzin interpelle les fidéles de sa voix de miel
The muezzin calls the faithful with his honeyed voice
Remerciant le très haut pour sa bonté
Thanking the Most High for His goodness
J'emporte dans ma mémoire
I carry in my memory
La saveur de ces heures
The flavor of those hours
Les chants et les voix
The songs and the voices
Les douleurs et les pleurs
The pain and the tears
Là-bas, j'ai vu la guerre et l'espérance
Over there, I saw war and hope
Mais, ailleurs, on fait mieux la différence
But elsewhere, the difference is clearer
Partir loin et découvrir
To go far and discover
Quel air l'humanité respire
What air humanity breathes
Comment nos contemporains vivent
How our contemporaries live
Sous d'autres lumières
Under different lights
Voyager, voyager
Travel, travel
Rien ne m'est plus essentiel
Nothing's more essential to me
Plier bagages, voir d'autres images plus
Packing my bags, seeing other images more
Réelles que celles des vitrines actuelles
Real than those in today's shop windows
Miroirs d'ignorance et de suffisance extrêmes
Mirrors of ignorance and extreme smugness
Je me déclare citoyenne universelle
I declare myself a universal citizen
Je m'offre le passeport de Terrienne
I grant myself the passport of an Earthling
Décide que toute terre est mienne
Decide that every land is mine
Rio, Yaoundé, Paris, c'est la même
Rio, Yaoundé, Paris, it's the same
Chacun son karma, le mien d'être nubienne
Everyone's got their karma, mine's being Nubian
Partir loin et découvrir
To go far and discover
Quel air l'humanité respire
What air humanity breathes
Comment nos contemporains vivent
How our contemporaries live
Sous d'autres lumiêres
Under different lights
Voyager, aller toujours plus loin
Travel, always go farther
