#TheTimeHasCome
Le Temps est venu
(English translation below)
Jeunesse de l’ humanité de forger ta destinée
Le temps de te dire, de t’ exprimer
Le Temps est venu mon frère
Le Temps est venu ma soeur
De faire effacer les frontières
Supprimer les barriers
Entre les pays - entre les infinis
Le temps est venu mon ami
D’ en finir avec les mots
Pour t’ engager comme il le faut
D’ en finir avec les mots
Pour t’ engager comme il le faut
De te choisir des priorités
De trimer, de te perdre et te retrouver
de refuser de te décourager
De rejeter la facilité
Le Temps est venu mon frère
Le Temps est venu ma soeur
De cesser de pleurnicher
De se lamenter, de se victimiser
De s’ enfariner de la tête aux pieds
De se dire la vérité
Qu’ une génération résignée
Est une génération sacrifiée
Le temps est venu de se dire
Le Temps est venu mon frère
Le Temps est venu ma soeur
De faire rêver et de faire espérer
De hisser le drapeau de l'amitié
De signer un contrat renouvelé
Avec une vraie liberté
Une vraie égalité, une vraie fraternité
Time has come
Time has come
Youth of humanity to forge your destiny
Time to speak out, to express yourself
The Time has come my brother
The Time has come my sister
To erase all borders
To erase all barriers
Between countries - between the infinite
The time has come my friend
To finish with empty words
To engage as needed
To choose your priorities
To work, to lose yourself and find yourself
to refuse to discourage
To reject the easiness
The Time has come my brother
The Time has come my sister
To stop whining
Stop moaning, Stop victimizing yourself
Stop making yourself white from head to toe
To tell yourself the truth
That a resigned generation
Is a sacrificed generation
The time has come to tell yourself
The Time has come my brother
The Time has come my sister
To let dream and let hope
To hoist the flag of friendship
To sign a renewed contract
With real freedom
True equality, true brotherhood
