Comédie Tragédie Lyrics in English Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comédie Tragédie by Mozart L'Opéra Rock from French to English.
Little coward
Wants to be big
But he stays seated
Little buffoon
Insults the sultan
But he's punished
Life's unfair
But it depends on who
Life's unfair
Especially for the little ones
Life's unfair
And that's why we laugh
Among the great, the mighty
The rotten laugh
Let's love each other
Comedy, tragedy
All children are ours
Comedy, tragedy
No matter the blows
You'll turn the other cheek
Comedy, tragedy
Blessed are the poor
Chosen for heaven's kingdom

SONG MEANING

Comédie Tragédie turns everyday injustice into a flamboyant stage play. A timid dreamer who never stands up, a fool who mocks the sultan only to be silenced, crowds of mighty people laughing at the misery they create — each scene shows that life hands out its punches unevenly. The powerful treat suffering like slapstick, proving that for the « petits », existence feels more tragic than comic.

But when the chorus sweeps in, the spotlight shifts. "Aimons-nous les uns les autres" calls for universal love, insisting that every child belongs to us all. The song urges listeners to answer cruelty with kindness, to keep faith that those who endure poverty and humiliation will find their reward in a higher kingdom. By blending biting satire with a hopeful plea, Mozart L'Opéra Rock delivers a track that is as catchy as it is thought-provoking.
