Les enfants de la patrie

Waking up one day in glory
Among things, among people
And if it's the court of miracles
It's by learning it that we learn.

She, she is alone, she is naive
The world is tender and different
The sea is calm, we set off on an adventure
For better or for worse.

Here comes the spring rising
It takes twenty to complete it
Moon and dollars, baton and dreams
The baton, that's what takes longer.

We cross out what remains
The war cross obviously
Together we must conquer, or else endure
All the best and all the worst.

And then the evening falls
After two hours, after a hundred years
It's a question of no importance
It's just a matter of time.

Come on, children of the Homeland
Let's go cheerfully towards destiny
Survive a little
Learn a little
Smile a little
Love a little
Suffer a little
Die a little
For nothing.
