Because we come from far
(meaning we survived= Corneille survived the massacre in Rwanda where he saw his all family killed)
We are our own fathers
so young and yet so old
That reminds me, you know
We are our own mothers
So young and so serious
But it will change
We spend our time
Making plans for the day to come
While the nice time
Goes and let us empty and unsure
We waste too much time
Sweating and ruining our hands
What for if we are not sure to see tomorow ? For nothing
Chorus
So we live everyday as if it is was the last one
and you would do the same if only you knew
How many times the end of the world came close
So we live everyday as if it is was the last one
Because we come from far (meaning we survived= Corneille survived the massacre in Rwanda where he saw his all family killed)
But when time gets tough
We think our story can’t be true
and when the winter lasts
We say to ourselves the heat will come back
and it is easy like that
Days after days
We realise nothing is eternal
that is why even in Love
I will love every queen as if it was the last one
It is pressuring living only of prayers
As long as I am concern, I cherish every moment before the light turns down
