Où va le monde [English translation]

Where is the world headed?

Please tell me?

Where is the world headed?

I ask myself where is the world headed

Where is the world headed, where is the world headed?

Chorus x2:

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

Please tell me? (Where is the world headed)

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

I ask myself (Where is the world headed)

Lying calmly under a tree

My eyes glued to the sky

I ask myself

What is time if I don't follow my heart

Is life a concert with death in the audience

Why do people fight wars with guns

When ever so often words are enough

Why does life make us cry so many tears

Does Man play the part of the good or evil?

I don't know, I ask myself questions

I can move forward but in what direction?

Reflection must come before action

Depending on the actions, its joys or disappointments

I expect answers and solutions

We are millions living on Earth

Along with Cancers and pollution

Are we allied with one another or adversaries?

Chorus x2:

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

Please tell me? (Where is the world headed)

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

I ask myself (Where is the world headed)

I walk calmly in my neighbourhood

I feel gazes upon me

Drunks, the scum of society

No one but Piaf sees life in shades of pink

11 p.m. amongst cops and drag queens

Young people smoke crack, apparently that's fashionable

Drugs have taken over the streets

I look for the remainders of an easy life

Ask the kids, their best friend is their iPod

We don't communicate anymore, our friends are forgotten

We repudiate our family but we chat with the entire globe

Internet, PSP, Nintendo Wii

I ask myself if there's anything to be done

Time goes by so slowly when we count the seconds

Satan is in the world and his cunning ways has deceived people

I ask myself where is the world headed?

Chorus x2:

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

Please tell me? (Where is the world headed)

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

I ask myself (Where is the world headed)

It's been hours since I sat down in front of my piece of paper

Looking for a subject but ideas escape me

I have trouble filling my white sheet

I think of everything, of nothing

Of the vastness

From my window I write about everything I see

The people from my area, the problems in my city

I'll redo the world with a few pieces of wood

While I wait, I'll redo it in my notebook

Chorus x4:

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

Please tell me? (Where is the world headed)

Where is the world headed? (Where is the world headed)

I ask myself (Where is the world headed)
