À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Quand mon écran est enfumé
When my screen is smoky
Que je me sens désarmé, que ma tête va éclater
When I feel helpless, when my head is about to explode
À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Quand je vois des enfants crever
When I see children dying
Mais que je peux rien faire, à part en parler
But I can do nothing, except talk about it
À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Quand j'ai des larmes par milliers, que des familles meurent noyées
When I have tears by the thousands, when families drown
Parce qu'elles rêvent de traverser
Because they dream of crossing
À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Quand j'écris une chanson, ça me donne juste l'impression
When I write a song, it just gives me the feeling
D'avoir été dans l'action
Of having been in action
Mais je ne suis qu'un homme, un fou
But I am only a man, a fool
Sûrement que je rêve debout
Surely I dream standing up
Et maintenant on fait quoi?
And now what do we do?
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Oh, mais répondez-moi
Oh, but answer me
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
À quoi on sert?
What are we for?
Sur Terre, on est des millions à se poser la question
On Earth, there are millions of us asking the question
Mais personne nous répond
But no one answers us
À quoi ça sert?
What's the point?
Quand le dialogue est rompu entre deux inconnus
When dialogue is broken between two strangers
Qui ne s'écoutent plus
Who no longer listen to each other
À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Quand c'est la loi du plus fort, je suis faible face à la mort
When it's the law of the strongest, I am weak in the face of death
Un bébé a-t-il tort?
Is a baby wrong?
À quoi je sers?
What am I for?
Avec cette putain de chanson
With this fucking song
Qui fera sûrement pas le pont entre la rage et la raison
That will surely not bridge the gap between rage and reason
Mais je ne suis qu'un homme, un fou
But I am only a man, a fool
Sûrement que je rêve debout
Surely I dream standing up
Et maintenant on fait quoi?
And now what do we do?
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Oh, mais répondez-moi
Oh, but answer me
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Et on sort
And we go out
Et on passe à autre chose
And we move on
Mais comment on ose
But how do we dare
Se regarder en face?
To look ourselves in the face?
Et on sort
And we go out
Et on passe à autre chose
And we move on
Mais comment on ose
But how do we dare
Se regarder dans la glace?
To look at ourselves in the mirror?
Et maintenant on fait quoi?
And now what do we do?
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Oh, mais répondez-moi
Oh, but answer me
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Mais je ne suis qu'un homme, un fou
But I am only a man, a fool
Sûrement que je rêve debout
Surely I dream standing up
Et maintenant on fait quoi?
And now what do we do?
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
Oh, mais répondez-moi
Oh, but answer me
On fait quoi?
What do we do?
