Être et avoir [English translation]

Some chairs, a table, a bed, a roof, it was all that we had.

20 years [old], about, some big dreams, it was all that we needed.

Car, house, sure they're great now, what does that hide?

It fills us up but it makes us no better as far as I know.

Cause all that we are, not all that we have, all that we are not all that we have.

More beautiful, more expensive, richer, stronger, behold what we adore.

So much effort, all these treasures, they make us believe that when we die, it's all this gold in the bank, these men, it's as long as we're lacking this love.*

What human being is lesser while he's been wronged

Cause all that we are not all that we have, all that we are not all that we have

Some chairs, a table, a bed, a roof, it was all that we ha. Little is necessary to be happy, that's all I know.

All that we are not all that we have, yes all that we are, not all that we have
