Ce monde est triste
This world is sad
Ça fera des tonnes d'artistes
It'll create loads of artists
Qui feront des tonnes de disques
Who'll make tons of records
Pour noyer leur égoïsme
To drown their selfishness
Mystère sur la terre
Mystery on the earth
Certains se mettent à l'envers
Some turn themselves upside down
Les autres essaient de s'y faire
While others try to cope with it
Si fiers
So proud
Nos qualités
Our qualities
Se comptent en petites quantités
Are counted in small quantities
Nos qualités
Our qualities
Oui mais oui mais oui mais
Yes but yes but yes but
Soy soy soy
I am am am
Lo que soy

No cambio por nadie perdona mi amor
I wouldn't change for anyone, forgive me my love
Soy soy soy
I am am am
Lo que soy
What I am
No cambio por nadie eso es mi valor
I wouldn't change for anyone, that's my worth
J'ai peur pour les miens
I'm afraid for my loved ones
J'ai peur pour mon avenir
I'm afraid for my future
Alors je joins les mains
So I join my hands
Et j'essaie de sourire
And I try to smile
J'ai peur pour les miens
I'm scared for my loved ones
J'ai peur pour mon avenir
I'm scared for my future
Mais rien ne me donne l'envie de ralentir
But nothing makes me want to slow down
Nos qualités

Se comptent en petites quantités
