Citoyen du Monde [English translation]

I don't have a war anthem nor a homeland nor a President

I have no army but that of those who want

To fight for love despite the rule of money

I have no people to exploit, no wealth to produce for my own

I have no ground to protect from these miserable people who come from around the world

And if we should starve to death together here, be welcome

Rather die than live in abundance, dressed in clothes when so many others are naked

Citizen of the world, supporter of a world without borders (X2)

There is the good foreigner who you welcome arms open wide

And there is the bad one who you hunt down as soon as he crosses your border

There is the good one, who will be useful to you

And there is the hoodlum who you don't want to see coming to your town at all

If you look for the brute, go where you talk dollars, cash and crude oil

But anyway don't look for the sheriff I shot him down when he told me he only protected the rich

Citizen of the world, supporter of a world without borders

And if you're not happy with your share, you'll take more without having to fight

There are so many losers in this world, so easy to knock down

Look at all these borders they are but dark scars

Open wounds of ancient conquests, remains of useless sacrifices

So many poor soldiers sent for the task died

While in some cosy place the colonels were celebrating the victory with champagne

There is only one dream I chase, one sentence that sounds inside of me

Beyond the borders the Earth must belong to all or to none

Citizen of the world, supporter of a world without borders
