Le Troubadour [English translation]

I'm only a troubadour

I entertain my world but the world isn't doing well

And the earth turns turns turns turns turns not round

but I cannot do anything about it

Nothing more than a troubadour

I entertain my world but the world isn't doing well

My songs turn turn turn around this world

In order to start anew¹

The world is doing badly, I amuse myself about it

Insolent impertinent

When our dictators abuse their power²

I write a song, that makes people laugh

The world is doing badly but what can I do about it

With my rants my puns,

Neither politician nor soldier³,

I am only a troubadour

Refrain2

Anway, this world is not mine

I write songs to escape this earth

Instead of living today I prefer

To sing while waiting for tomorrow (2x)

Refrain1

If I begin to sing about love

They tell me How dare you

Blow away the petals of a rose

While in the world there are all these dead people⁴?

To arms, citizens

Holding revolutionary slogans

You know how that turns out in the end.

Refrain2

Refrain1 (at the end: sing for another tomorrow 2x)

Refrain1 (+ second line twice)

And the earth turns turns turns and the earth

turns turns turns not round

My songs turn turn turn around this world

In order to start anew (twice twice twice)
