[English]
To live, we are all connected, let's stay confident
To live, we go through time
And even in silence, we remain vigilant
Yeah, ask us the question
Read on our lips
Whatever happens
Together and unconditionally
We must build our rules
Whatever happens
Let's build a hope
We will have to rise
Whatever happens
We will find the direction
We will take a thousand paths
Oh-oh-oh
Let's tell them that everything is fine
Nothing worries us
New manifesto
We will define our dreams
What will our tomorrows be made of?
No matter the question
Happy unconditionally
Our future is clear
So we wanna say
Look from higher up
What makes us free
Or adds more bars to our cage
Put away the knives
Those that make victims
And add more executioners
Free what we can stifle
To live and know how to listen (uh)
Winter gives way to summer
Knowing that the future is in our hands
So listen to me now
Let's forget the superficial
See our children grow
And cherish all that we sow (uh)
To choose what we leave behind
The best or the worst
Everything is possible, even the opposite
All our senses and all our feelings
The mark we will leave won't be in cents (uh)
All at the door and without a ticket
He speaks the same voice but the same sound as yesterday
Let's tell them that everything is fine
Nothing worries us
New manifesto
We will define our dreams
What will our tomorrows be made of?
No matter the question
Happy unconditionally
Our future is clear
When we pause, we hesitate
We lose the thread and especially the control
We give up and everything invites itself
Especially the doubts weigh on our shoulders
Let's trust our fathers
Where tranquility ultimately
Reaches its limits
In their maze, we get lost
Let's take back the story for our brothers
Left too soon
The love they envy me
Is simply shared
Find your balance
We will go through time
Let's tell them that everything is fine
Nothing worries us
New manifesto
We will define our dreams
What will our tomorrows be made of?
No matter the question
Happy unconditionally
Our future is clear
And we will do everything like
Because our bonds will remain brotherly
Solid as a rock
Even when history stutters
We stay shoulder to shoulder
All in this great tunnel
Hand in hand because it's the future of man
And facing what comes, stay dignified and proud
No matter the trials, no matter the opponent
It's the same heritage, so let's stay united
It's the time for rebellion
Let's not be afraid to live
We will remain together, free, millions
Like a star, we will shoot
It's been 1000 years we've been waiting for the impossible
Landmarks that now deprive us
Our leaders, in wars every time
(Eh-eh-eh-he)
Let's tell them that everything is fine
Nothing worries us
New manifesto
We will define our dreams
What will our tomorrows be made of?
No matter the question
Happy unconditionally
Our future is clear
Whatever happens
The future is in our hands
Whatever happens
Let's build a hope, we will have to rise
Whatever happens
Let's pursue our destiny
Whatever happens
We will find the direction, we will take a thousand paths
Whatever happens
(Oh-la, la-la-la-la, ah-ah)
Whatever happens
Whatever happens
Whatever happens
