Les Jeunes de L'univers
Rocca
The Youth of the Universe
[Rocca - First verse]
Since my youngest age, I dream of glory, of cash flow
Should I spend my life on the sidelines
Of a system that stares at me?
My panache as baggage, sure, I secure my future
I see my future prosperous, fat, duplex, busy
Cash account filled
Big bag, Borsalino, BMW, Porsche
Many childhood dreams have driven me to fill my pockets
Avenue Foch, glory, power to get out of the street
Believe, want to fight to get what you deserve
Is never a lost cause
The world is in front of you, don't wait for it to arrive
Get out of your dead end, out of the infernal cycle that disrupts the youth that concrete derails
From ignorance, delinquency, violence
Your so-called misfortune that you sow yourself through negligence
School failure, vices, bad companies that betray you
Son, demolished to rebuild what you neglected in the past
I believe in myself, in you, the future is in our hands
And nothing should be able to block our paths
[Chorus]:
For all the youth of the universe, this universal message:
"I represent, we represent"
I dedicate it to those I love
"In all this concrete... in all this concrete"
For all the youth of the universe, this universal message:
"I represent, we represent"
Think today is your day to fight and conquer, boy
"The world is in front of you, don't wait for it to arrive..."
[Second verse]
This goes out to all the youth from the projects
Thugs and forgotten girls, condemned suburbs, damned cities and neighborhoods
Disinherited, excluded from luck, disappointed immigrant children
All those who have something lost in their eyes
Children of turmoil, growing up under the breath of the shell
Those who disappeared without ever knowing joy
My generation rises from the concrete like a flag
America Latina, Africa, I represent Columbia
The third world, the joy from beyond the grave
The sadness of a distressed youth
Crying behind bars for his youth
Set an example, show that you can also make it
Hope is vital like the oxygen we breathe
It's the worst of battles, the perpetual quarrel, the saga
It's the dominant over the dominated, the law of the richest
Reverse the statistics, surveys, prove to your surroundings
That a man full of courage can dig his own way
Towards victory, success, despite the multiple racial, social conflicts
In France, every effort has a reward, go!
One Love! For all the youth at the bottom of the stairs of the HLM projects
I sow hope for all those I love
[Chorus]
[Third verse]
Since my youngest age, I dream of exploring the world, the Earth, its mysteries
Imagine traveling first class without borders
Without a passport, on Concorde, cocktail in hand
Observing the universe from the sky, flying further and further
Choosing your destiny, being master of yourself, living for what you love
Despite the constraints of the system
Helping each other, talking about brotherhood, trust, forgetting
Its problems even for a moment, seeing hands shake
Watching TV, seeing less misery, social barriers
Unemployment, racial exclusion, police, National Front
Hearing the laughter of children piercing our concrete hearts
Eager to build a perfect world based on respect
But the world spins like a roulette and nothing will change
When the Almighty takes stock, only He will judge
Girls and boys, let's move our pawns forward a square
United, we are the light of the path we are on...
[Chorus]
