Et pourtant dans le monde
Georges Moustaki
And Yet in the World
They'll tell us we're wrong to sing
About brotherhood and freedom,
That all this is useless,
That it's not happening anytime soon
{Refrain:}
And yet in the world
The children answer us
And yet in the world...
They'll tell us we're wrong to dream
Believing we're living reality,
That we should keep our eyes open
And see what's going wrong
{to the Refrain}
They'll tell us we're wrong to shout
And proclaim our truths,
That it's better to stay silent or lie,
And above all, know how to keep smiling
{to the Refrain}
They'll tell us we're wrong to talk
About love as if it existed,
That it's only a mirage,
An illusion that's not for our age
{to the Refrain}
They'll tell us we're wrong or right,
It won't make us change our tune,
We give it to you as it is,
You can do with it as you please
{to the Refrain, x3}
