Trace le long du large et le sang
Trace along the wide expanse and the blood
Dépouillé des efforts souillés
Striped of sullied efforts
Par le temps des vagues
By the time of the waves
Celles qui poussent nos souvenirs
Those that push our memories
Sur les plages formées de rires
On the beaches formed of laughter
Formées de rires
Formed of laughter
Et sans prendre le bord
And without taking the edge
On reste sans visage
We remain faceless
Une masse comme une autre
A mass like any other
Qui vit dans un mirage
That lives in a mirage
La côte nous sépare
The coast separates us
Et nos vœux baignent dans une tranchée
And our wishes drown in a trench
Créée par la guerre
Created by war
Celle qui règne entre moi et les battements
The one that reigns between me and the beats
De mon cœur qui crient jusque là-bas
Of my heart that shout all the way over there
Et sans prendre le bord
And without taking the edge
On reste sans visage
We remain faceless
Une masse comme une autre
A mass like any other
Qui vit dans un mirage
That lives in a mirage
