[English]

You gotta do it now

You gotta do it now

Yes, you gotta

I love to dream of the world to come

But on their banners, our future

We must fight for the same freedom

But it's not the life we wanted

It's from nothing that their bitterness comes

Their dark ideas flow over our colors

Always making choices just to exist

You gotta do it now

You gotta do it now

Erase your disgrace, I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Try to break us, distort our truths

We will stand tall

Whatever happens, even if we bleed

We will come out of the shadows

I love to dream of the world to come

Behind my smiles, I hold resentment

Kings tear each other apart on the chessboard

The fools no longer want to play

They want to silence love

Instead of silencing ignorance

Let's make noise about their thoughts

For our freedoms

Erase your disgrace, I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Try to break us, distort our truths

We will stand tall

Whatever happens, even if we bleed

We will come out of the shadows

Hey, you might hate me

I know we'll stand tall

Whatever happens, even if we bleed

We will come out of the shadows

We've explored all reasons, we have nothing left to lose

Love isn't a question—if I love him or her

Erase your disgrace, I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god

Erase your disgrace, I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Try to break us, distort our truths

We will stand tall

Whatever happens, even if we die

We will come out of the shadows

Whatever happens

Let it happen

Whatever happens

We will come out of the shadows

...

[French]

You gotta do it now

You gotta do it now

Yes you gotta

J'aime à rêver le monde à venir

Mais sur leurs pancartes notre avenir

Devoir se battre pour la même liberté

Mais c'est pas la vie qu'on voulait

C'est du néant que vient leur rancœur

Leurs idées noires coulent sur nos couleurs

À toujours faire des choix pour exister

You gotta do it now

You gotta do it now

Erase your disgrace I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Essaie de nous briser, déforme nos vérités

On restera sur pied

Quoiqu'il advienne, même si on en saigne

On sortira de l'ombre

J'aime à rêver le monde à venir

J'ai de la rancoeur derrière mes sourires

Les rois se déchirent sur l'échiquier

Les fous n'ont plus envie de jouer

Ça veut réduire l'amour au silence

Au lieu de faire taire l'ignorance

Faisons du bruit sur leurs pensées

Pour nos libertés

Erase your disgrace I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Essaie de nous briser, déforme nos vérités

On restera sur pied

Quoiqu'il advienne, même si on en saigne

On sortira de l'ombre

Hey, tu peux me détester

Je sais que l'on restera debout

Quoi qu'il advienne, même si on en saigne

On sortira de l'ombre

On a fait le tour des raisons, on n'a plus rien à perdre

L'amour n'est pas une question, si je l'aime, lui ou elle

Erase your disgrace I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god

Erase your disgrace I will shout anyway

It's not your choice to make

You feel like playing god within your crowd

Essaie de nous briser, déforme nos vérités

On restera sur pied

Quoiqu'il advienne, même si on en crève

On sortira de l'ombre

Quoi qu'il advienne

Qu'il advienne

Quoi qu'il advienne

On sortira de l'ombre
