Maintenant Lyrics in English Vianney , Renaud
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maintenant by Vianney from French to English.
I packed my bag a hundred times
Never sure I'm in the right place
I look at the world and I don't get used to it
Filthy and sublime at the same time
I ask myself a thousand questions a day
I'm a third of the way there
Is living old
Worth the detour?
We want to make history
Eat the world, haunt memories
The ego gets lost, then we fall
Through the mirror
From young and docile, we end up fossil
Is thinking about tomorrow useful
Or futile?
I'm ready to fight for another thousand years
And I'll do it for my children
Before, I was never afraid
Then I became a parent
I'm afraid of the future
Not mine but theirs
Not the bonds but the worst
The seas rise, the flowers fade
The elders teach us
The kids annoy us
And all this won't change
No more student, no more dreams
No more "tell me, dad"
You who have lived a thousand lives
What do you say about it?
Is life lived in Paradise
Or down here?
Now, but not later
Cherish the moment, sweep away the past
Some would want to live long
It's a mistake, you should live better
Now, but not later
Cherish the people, sweep away the regrets
Some would want to live long
Me, I don't have the time
Even better
I packed my bag a hundred times
One day, it will be done for me
And I won't even know
But it will be the last time
I never think about it, yet I should
Yet, I know I'll cry
If I haven't experienced anything by then
Grant me forgiveness
Cast me away if I've rejected
What's the point of the power of words
If it doesn't serve the duty to love
To keep the intoxication of my youth
To keep my heart lit
Tell me the secret
It's now, but not later
Cherish the moment, sweep away the past
Some would want to live long
It's a mistake, you should live better
Now, but not later
Cherish the people, sweep away the regrets
Some would want to live long
Me, I don't have the time
Even better
Some would want to live long
Me, I want to leave
Happy
