Né quelque part [English translation]

We don't choose our parents,

We don't choose our family

As we don't choose either

The streets of Manila,

Paris or Algiers

To learn how to walk,

To be born somewhere.

To be born somewhere,

For the one who begins to live

It's always about luck

When someone has troubles in his mind, he's also lost

There are poultry and grand birds,

But everyone knows where is his nest

When they come back from their travels.

Wherever they are,

They know where their eggs are,

To be born somewhere.

To be born somewhere

Means you can leave when you want,

But also come back later.

But do all those people

Have equal rights

From where

They're born?

When someone has troubles in his mind, he's also lost

But do all those people

Have equal rights

From where

They're born,

No matter if those people

Look alike or not?

We don't choose our parents,

We don't choose our family

As we don't choose either

The streets of Manila,

Paris or Algiers

To learn how to walk

I was born somewhere,

I was born somewhere,

Please, don't make me forget this

Or I may loose my mind

When someone has troubles in his mind, he's also lost

Are people born…
