Lyrics

Sur la Terre tant de visages
Dans les villes, dans les villages
Mais qui parmi ces fourmis
A mis peut être un ami
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho Si on se rencontrait
Ho hé ho Oui mais
Et dans tous ces inconnus
Ces gens qui passent dans la rue
Sont des âmes oui mais
On ne les connaîtra jamais
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho Et bien si on se parlait
Ho hé ho Oui mais
Dans tous ces passants, je sens
Comme des sentiments dedans
Des compagnons, des âmes-soeurs
Qui conviendraient à mon coeur
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho Et si on s’arrêtait
Ho hé ho Oui mais
Ho hé ho, ho hé ho Ho hé ho Oui mais

Lyrics translation

On Earth so many faces
In cities, in villages
But who among these ants
Put can be a friend
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho if we met
Ho hey ho yes but
And in all these unknowns
Those people who pass on the street
Are souls yes but
We'll never know them.
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho what if we talked
Ho hey ho yes but
In all these passers - by, I feel
Like feelings in it
Companions, soul-sisters
That would suit my heart
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho what if we stopped
Ho hey ho yes but
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho Ho ho yes but
