Être un héros, pour les autres
Be a hero, for others
Tel qu'il apparaît dans la lumière
As it appears in the light
J'ai pas choisi
I didn't choose
Risquer ma peau pour les autres
Risk my skin for others
Quand il le fallait, je l'ai fait
When it was necessary, I did it
Mais pas choisi
But not chosen
J'attendais j'attendais sans le savoir
I was waiting for I was waiting without knowing it
J'attendais j'attendais l'innatendu
I was waiting for I was waiting for the innatendu
J'attendais j'attendais sans te prévoir
I was waiting for I was waiting without planning
Et tu es venu
And you came
Maintenant que tu es là
Now that you are there
Maintenant que tu es là
Now that you are there
Etre un héros pour quelqu'un
Being a hero for someone
Ca change toute une vie, tous les repères
It changes a lifetime, all benchmarks
Parce que c'est lui
Because it's him
Même ce flambeau, qu'on détient
Even this torch, which we have
Le jour viendra de s'en défaire
The day will come to get rid of it
Pour lui aussi
For him too
J'attendais j'attendais sans le savoir
I was waiting for I was waiting without knowing it
J'attendais j'attendais l'innatendu
I was waiting for I was waiting for the innatendu
J'attendais j'attendais sans te prévoir
I was waiting for I was waiting without planning
Et tu es venu
And you came
Maintenant que tu es là
Now that you are there
Je sais pourquoi je me bats
I know why I fight
Tous les héros ne sont que des hommes
All heroes are just men
Je le resterai pour toi
I will stay it for you
Les héros ne sont que des hommes
Heroes are only men
Maintenant que tu es là
Now that you are there
Je sais pourquoi je me bats
I know why I fight
