Aux arbres citoyens [English translation]

Cement in the plains

Roles up to the mountains

Poison in the springs

[And] in our countrysides

Cyclones in rapid succession

Our history is sinking

Yet our ideal remains

"We're doing great"

Buying air in blocks

Filling the balance:

Some oildollars

Against our existence

From the equator to the poles,

This weight on our shoulders

Ephemeral squatters

Now it's no longer funny

Since we must change things

To the trees citizens!

It is high time we propose

A world for tomorrow!

To the trees citizens

Some smacks to take

Yesterday is for tomorrow

Some smacks to give

Have stand

An army of reeds

No one on their knees anymore

Pass the word

It's true the world is round

But who will come to tell us

That it is for everyone

And the others to come...

No more time to dither about who's fault

To count on luck or others

Now we fight

With you, I believe in it
