Je sais [English translation]

I know our silence screams

I know confronting the unknown

I know singing our insolence

I know praying there’s hope for us

I know liking the time that advances

I know to savor our luck

I know empty hope

But why, I do not know

To hide in my voice

What trembles in me

But why, I do not know

To stop the wounds

Of a world that distorts

Where the air is no longer pure

To tell you the story

In the heat of the night

Which you want to believe

Without crying in the dark

But why I do not know

Dry the tears

Women holding our weapons

In hearts filled with blades

Eliminate the fighting

Men who make our laws

To which our voices yield

Which they do not respect

But why I do not know any more

Why, I do not know

Why I am lost

Like a child in the streets

I know arrogance hits us hard

I know forgiveness for our being apart

I know liking without losing patience

But why, I don’t know

To clasp you in my arms

Like an answer for you

But why, I do not know

To stop the wounds

Of a world that distorts

Where the air is no longer pure

To tell you the story

In the heat of the night

Which you want to believe

Without crying in the dark

But why I do not know

Dry the tears

Women holding our weapons

In hearts filled with blades

Eliminate the fighting

Men who make our laws

To which our voices yield

Which they do not respect

But why, I do not know any more

Why, I do not know

Why I am lost

Like a child in the streets

I know, I don’t know

I know

I know, one does not know

I know, one does not know more
