La vie ne m'apprend rien [English translation]

Who dare say he can teach me about emotion

Or show me what it takes to be great

Who can change what I carry in my blood?

Who has the right to forbid me to live?

On which side may I find the good or the bad?

Their gospels have turned me into a non-believer

Life teaches me nothing

All I wanted was to talk a little find my own way

Life teaches me nothing

I would so much like to persevere and find a path, find a path

CHORUS

But I cannot, I do not know how,

And I remain stuck to the spot.

Laws no longer make men, but some men still make laws.

And I cannot, I do not know how,

And I remain stuck to the spot.

To those who believe that money dulls my head

I will tell you that it's not enough to be poor to be honest

Perhaps they believe freedom can be bought

So many ideals still exist under the trigger

Whilst their preachers shelter from the battle

Medals no longer save lives of the dead.

Life teaches me nothing

All I wanted was to talk a little find my own way

Life teaches me nothing

I would so much like to persevere and find a path, find a path

CHORUS
