Derrière nos fenêtres, on croit voir le monde disparaitre Behind our windows, we think we see the world disappearing 00:05
Et les oiseaux sont là And the birds are here 00:09
Chaque jour, ils chantent à tue-tête Every day, they sing at the top of their lungs 00:14
D'une langue que je crois connaitre In a language I think I know 00:16
L'allégresse ici-bas The joy down here 00:19
J'observe leurs plumes, j'ai le cœur lourd comme une enclume I observe their feathers, my heart heavy like an anvil 00:25
Mais je souris ma foi But I smile, my faith 00:29
Est-il comble d'infortune, de reprendre ses vieilles habitudes? Is it a sign of misfortune to return to old habits? 00:34
Ses sagesses d'autrefois? The wisdoms of the past? 00:39
Comme toi, je croise les doigts pour Like you, I cross my fingers for 00:42
Qu'à l'amour on chante des jours heureux That in love we sing happy days 00:45
Que la vie danse sur des pianos à queue That life dances on grand pianos 00:50
Qu'à l'amour, les anges exaucent nos vœux That in love, the angels grant our wishes 00:55
Et que les gens s'aiment un peu comme nous deux And that people love each other a bit like us two 01:00
J'aimerais prendre l'air, m'imbiber un peu de lumière I would like to take in the air, soak up a bit of light 01:05
Et sortir de chez moi And step out of my home 01:10
C'est un éternel hiver, comme toi, j'ai perdu mes repères It's an eternal winter, like you, I've lost my bearings 01:15
Presque autant que ma voix Almost as much as my voice 01:20
Pourtant, chaque jour j'y crois Yet, every day I believe in it 01:23
Le temps fait ses rondes chaque minute, chaque seconde Time makes its rounds every minute, every second 01:25
J'obéis à ses lois I obey its laws 01:30
Assise là, j'observe ce monde se barricader, se morfondre Sitting there, I watch this world barricade itself, wallow 01:35
Et tout au fond de moi And deep down inside me 01:40
Je crois et croise les doigts pour I believe and cross my fingers for 01:43
Qu'à l'amour on chante des jours heureux That in love we sing happy days 01:45
Que la vie danse sur des pianos à queue That life dances on grand pianos 01:50
Qu'à l'amour, les anges exaucent nos vœux That in love, the angels grant our wishes 01:55
Et que les gens s'aiment un peu comme nous deux And that people love each other a bit like us two 02:01
02:08
Sous nos masques ternes, si tant de sourires se discernent Under our dull masks, if so many smiles can be discerned 02:23
C'est que l'espoir est là It's because hope is there 02:28
Allez, laisse parler la peine si parfois les larmes te viennent Come on, let pain speak if sometimes tears come to you 02:33
Non, ne les retiens pas No, don't hold them back 02:38
Crois-moi, crois-moi Believe me, believe me 02:41
Ce n'est que la fin d'une ombre It's just the end of a shadow 02:44
Le tout début d'un autre monde qui pousse sous nos pas The very beginning of another world that grows beneath our feet 02:46
Il fallait que le tonnerre gronde pour que nos consciences s'inondent It had to thunder for our consciences to be flooded 02:53
D'un espoir, d'un éclat With hope, with a spark 02:58
Comme moi, croise les doigts pour Like me, cross your fingers for 03:01
Qu'à l'amour on chante des jours heureux That in love we sing happy days 03:04

Lyrics & Translation

[English] Behind our windows, we think we see the world disappearing
And the birds are here
Every day, they sing at the top of their lungs
In a language I think I know
The joy down here
I observe their feathers, my heart heavy like an anvil
But I smile, my faith
Is it a sign of misfortune to return to old habits?
The wisdoms of the past?
Like you, I cross my fingers for
That in love we sing happy days
That life dances on grand pianos
That in love, the angels grant our wishes
And that people love each other a bit like us two
I would like to take in the air, soak up a bit of light
And step out of my home
It's an eternal winter, like you, I've lost my bearings
Almost as much as my voice
Yet, every day I believe in it
Time makes its rounds every minute, every second
I obey its laws
Sitting there, I watch this world barricade itself, wallow
And deep down inside me
I believe and cross my fingers for
That in love we sing happy days
That life dances on grand pianos
That in love, the angels grant our wishes
And that people love each other a bit like us two

Under our dull masks, if so many smiles can be discerned
It's because hope is there
Come on, let pain speak if sometimes tears come to you
No, don't hold them back
Believe me, believe me
It's just the end of a shadow
The very beginning of another world that grows beneath our feet
It had to thunder for our consciences to be flooded
With hope, with a spark
Like me, cross your fingers for
That in love we sing happy days
That life dances on grand pianos
That in love, the angels grant our wishes
And that people love each other a bit like us two
That in love we sing happy days
That life dances on grand pianos
That in love, the angels grant our wishes
And that people love each other a bit like us two
Us two

Us two
