Et si en plus y a personne [English translation]

Abderhaman, Martin, David

What if the sky were empty?

So many processions, so many bowed heads,

So many hoods, so many wanted fears

So many demagogues, temples, synagogues,

So many squeezed hands, eager prayers

So much angelus1

- Ding -

resounding

And what if

- Ding -

there's nobody there?

Abderhaman, Martin, David

What if the sky were empty?

There are so many slumbers

so many analgesic musics

So many pain killers in these lovely hymns

There are so many questions, so many mysteries

So much compassion, so many guns

So much angelus

- Ding -

resounding

And what if

- Ding -

there's nobody there?

Arour Hachem, Inc'h Allah,

Are Krishna, Alleluiah

Abderhaman, Martin, David

What if the sky were empty?

What if all these tracer bullets,

all these handguns,

all these ignorant women

these orphaned children

what if these toppling lives

these wet eyes

were only the old enjoyment

of killing?

And the angelus

- Ding -

keeps resounding

And what if

- Ding -

there's nobody there?

And the angelus

- Ding -

keeps resounding

And what if

- Ding -

there's nobody there?
