Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Au-delà by Slimane from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Aux aveugles et sans courage
To the blind and without courage
Qui se méfient de la lumière
Who are wary of light
Enfermés dans leur cage
Locked in their cage
Barreaux d'argent et cœur de pierre
Silver bars and stone heart
Tous les sourds, ici-bas
All the deaf people down here
Qui n'entendent que leur puissance
Who only hear their power
Quand peut-être une petite voix
When maybe a small voice
Leur souffle à l'oreille un silence
Their breath in the ear a silence
Serions-nous que de chaire, simples mortels
Would we be only from the pulpit, mere mortals
De passage sur terre, sans voir plus loin que devant soit, mon ange
Passing on earth, without seeing further than before either, my angel
Il y a au-delà
Beyond that, there are
Il y a au-delà haut
There's beyond high
Il y a au-delà
Beyond that, there are
Aux humains de tout visage
To humans of every face
Qui se résument à la poussière
That comes down to dust
Il y a un voyage, plus essentiel qu'il reste à faire
There is a journey, more essential that remains to be done
Il suffirait ici-bas que l'on se donne moins d'importance
It would be enough here on earth to give ourselves less importance
Penser plus haut que ce qu'on voit
Thinking higher than what you see
Pour ressentir d'autres présences
To feel other presences
Serions-nous que de chaire, simples mortels
Would we be only from the pulpit, mere mortals
De passage sur terre, sans voir plus loin que devant soit, mon ange
Passing on earth, without seeing further than before either, my angel
Il y a au-delà
Beyond that, there are
Il y a au-delà haut
There's beyond high
Il y a au-delà
Beyond that, there are
