Il nous faudra du courage
We'll need some courage
Mais, tu ne le dis pas
But, you won't say it
Inévitable naufrage
Inevitable shipwreck
Mais, tu ne le dis pas
But, you won't say it
(Et là) voir le monde se défaire
(And there) see the world unravel
Mais, tu ne le dis pas
But, you won't say it
Quoi qu'il n'y a plus rien à faire
Even though there's nothing more to do
Que tout vole en éclats
That everything bursts into pieces
Mais où va le monde?
But where is the world going?
Mais où est ma tombe?
But where is my grave?
Mais que devient le monde?
But what is happening to the world?
Un tout qui s'effondre
A whole that is collapsing
L'aube a comme un goût de brume
Dawn has a taste of mist
Mais, tu ne le dis pas (tu ne le dis pas)
But, you don't say it (you don't say it)
L'espérance se dénude
Hope is stripped bare
Mais, tu ne le dis pas
But, you don't say it
(Et là) que n'ai-je un pinceau d'écume
(And there) if only I had a brush of foam
Pour peindre un au-delà
To paint a beyond
Moi, je sais bien pourquoi la lune n'a
I know well why the moon
Plus le même éclat
No longer shines the same
Mais où va le monde?
But where is the world heading?
Mais où est ma tombe?
But where is my grave?
Mais que devient le monde?
But what happens to the world?
Un tout qui s'effondre
A whole that's collapsing
Mais où va le monde?
But where is the world heading?
Mais où est ma tombe?
But where is my grave?
Mais que devient le monde?
But what happens to the world?
Un tout qui s'effondre
A whole that's collapsing
Mais où va le monde? (Il me faudra du courage, mais, tu ne le dis pas)
But where is the world heading? (I'll need courage, but you don't say it)
Mais où est ma tombe? (Inévitable naufrage, mais, tu ne le dis pas)
But where is my grave? (An inevitable shipwreck, but you don't say it)
Mais que devient le monde? (Il me faudra du courage, mais, tu ne le dis pas)
But what is happening to the world? (I'll need courage, but you don't say it)
Un tout qui s'effondre (Inévitable naufrage, mais, tu ne le dis pas)
A whole collapsing (Inevitable shipwreck, but you don't say it)
Il me faudra du courage
I'll need courage
Mais, tu ne le dis pas
But you don't say it
Inévitable naufrage
Inevitable shipwreck
