2000 ans et un jour
Michel Fugain
2000 Years and One Day
2000 years and one day
We take stock, it’s heavy
Without wasting time, we’re back for another round
Don’t let it get you down, don’t stress out
'Cause, for the years, they say
It’s always the first two thousand
The hardest ones
2000 years and two days
We’re cutting down the fools and the towers
We see people better, the colors, the outlines
We go from poison to velvet
And we reach out to love
And we see that it’s good, that it’s beautiful
And we’re all for it
Maybe it’s the last chance
We can’t afford to mess up
2000 years and three days
We’re chasing away the smog, hello
There’s sunshine back in the yard
We’re putting ozone all around
And then after, we make love
And it’s getting better and better
And we’re more and more for it
2000 years, four days
No more Marignan, Pearl Harbor
We’re tossing the guns and money doesn’t matter anymore
We’ve skinned the drums
The mood of humanity is humor
And anytime, anywhere
Anyone can make love
Maybe it’s the last chance
We can’t afford to mess up
2000 years and five days
There’s so much work to catch up on
That there’ll be enough for everyone, forever
But from the sixth to the seventh day
We yawn and chill, we savor
This new world, as long as it lasts
A little more than eight days
2000 years and one day
We take stock, it’s heavy
Without wasting time, we’re back for another round
Don’t let it get you down, don’t stress out
'Cause, for the years, they say
It’s always the first two thousand
The hardest ones
