Vivre ou survivre [English translation]

The day breaks

Crying in dispair

And replaying the humid film

Of the past in your head

Short, far too short

Our love

And the cries for help

Know that a deaf person cannot hear what he wants

And yet we must live

Or survive

Without rhymes

Without hurting all of those who love him

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or together

Live forever

Without words

Without velvet

Without useless talking

Of an old romantic photo

Perishing withered flowers

White and black

Only colours

Of a future that is already the past for us

And yet we must live

Or survive

Without rhymes

Without hurting all of those who we love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or together

And yet we must live

Or survive

Without rhymes

Without hurting all of those who we love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or together

Live in silence

In thought about the suffering

Of the earth and we saying to each other

That we are not the most unfortunate

When in love

Everything collapses

All the misery of the world

Is nothing compared to a farewell

And yet we must live

Or survive

Without rhymes

Without hurting all of those who I love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or together

Oh oh

Live or survive

Alone or together

Ooohh...
