La terre tournera sans nous
Alain Barrière
The Earth Will Turn Without Us
What did we believe, what did we hope for
The earth will turn without us
Without our craziness, our wild dreams
And without this world that was us
What did we hope for, what did we believe
Love owes us nothing at all
And for others just like us
Love fades away, love doesn’t give a damn
Why always dream endlessly
Of other suns, other mornings
A winter isn’t a spring
We’re not giants
Who can mock time
Why dream of other lives
Why dream of symphonies
One day, I believe at last
We must stick to the melody
One day decide our life
What did we believe, what did we want
Misfortune has fallen on us
There’s nothing left at all
Of this kingdom that was us
Yet it wasn’t so crazy
This happiness was truly ours
We just had to hold on to it
Just for us, just for us
What did we believe, what did we hope for
Love owes us nothing at all
And for others just like us
The earth turns, it will turn without us
The earth turns, it will turn without us
