C'est seulement comme ça que la

A man's life can change
Ma famille give me conseil
My family gives me advice
Mon enfant, toi aussi, parti là bas
My child, you too, go there
la vie là bas la vie là bas
Life there, life there
La vie là bas la vie là bas
Life there, life there
N'est pas facile, la vie là bas

Où plutôt rester voir pleurer nos mères?
