Non, non, rien a changé

It's the story of a truce
That I had asked for
It's the story of a sun
That I had hoped for
It's the story of a love
That I thought was alive
It's the story of a beautiful day
That I, as a little child
Wanted to be so happy
For the whole planet
I wanted, I hoped
That peace would reign supreme
On this Christmas night

But everything went on
But everything went on
But everything went on

No, no, nothing has changed
Everything, everything went on
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

And yet many people
Sang along with us
And yet many people
Got down on their knees

To pray, yes to pray
To pray, yes to pray

But I saw every day
On the television
Even on Christmas night
Guns, cannons

I cried, yes I cried
I cried, yes I cried

Who can explain to me that
I think of the child
Surrounded by soldiers
I think of the child
Who asks why

All the time, yes all the time
All the time, yes all the time

I think of all this
But I shouldn't
All these things
Aren't my concern

And yet, yes and yet
And yet, I sing, I sing
