Faudrait arriver, arriver

We need to arrive, to arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À imaginer le monde d'après

To imagine the world after

Arriver, arriver

Arrive, arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À enfin changer le monde pour de vrai

To finally change the world for real

Le soleil se lève partout pareil

The sun rises everywhere the same

On nous promet monts et merveilles

They promise us riches and wonders

Pas le temps de penser, pas le temps de rêver

No time to think, no time to dream

Juste le temps d'aller travailler

Just time to go to work

Le monde est tel qu'on le laisse

The world is the way we leave it

Livré au vent et aux sècheresses

Handed over to wind and droughts

À peine le temps de respirer

Almost no time to breathe

Que tout ne fait que s'empirer

While everything keeps getting worse

Faudrait arriver, arriver

We need to arrive, to arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À imaginer le monde d'après

To imagine the world after

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À enfin changer le monde pour de vrai

To finally change the world for real

Nos enfants comptent bien sur nous

Our children are counting on us

Mais nous on pense surtout à nous

But we mostly think of ourselves

La terre il n'y en a qu'une

There’s only one Earth

Ne promettons pas la lune

Let’s not promise the moon

Comment imaginer la suite

How can we imagine what’s next

En avançant prendre la fuite?

While running away as we go?

Comment rendre le monde respirable

How to make the world breathable

Comment rendre la vie supportable

How to make life bearable

Faudrait arriver, arriver

We need to arrive, to arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À imaginer le monde d'après

To imagine the world after

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À rêver, à rêver

To dream, to dream

Arriver, oui arriver

Arrive, yes arrive

À enfin changer le monde pour de vrai

To finally change the world for real
