Lyrics
Au grand cirque de pierres, sous le soleil de juin
Des hommes, assis par terre, ont bravé le destin
C'Ã(c)tait pourtant hier et c’est dÃ(c)jà si loin
Je m’en souviens
Un printemps comme les autres que celui de PÃ(c)kin
A qui est-ce la faute si on n’en dit plus rien?
C'Ã(c)tait pourtant hier, qu’en ferons-nous demain?
Qu’en ferons-nous demain?
A force de subir les coups
Y a des cris que l’on n’entend plus
Des voix qui n’ont plus d’autres issues
Que de maudire sans mot dire
A force de haïr les fous
Y a des hommes qui lèvent leurs chaînes
Mourir peut-être, mais debout
A tien an men
Une gÃ(c)nÃ(c)ration muselÃ(c)e, mutilÃ(c)e
De sa rÃ(c)volution qu’on n’a pas Ã(c)coutÃ(c)e
C'Ã(c)tait pourtant hier, c’est dÃ(c)jà oublié Mais ce n’est rien
Si le corps est vaincu, brÃ"le toujours la flamme
Que rien n'Ã(c)teindra plus à l'Ã(c)cueil de son âme
C’est encore aujourd’hui et ce sera demain
Et ce sera demain
A force de subir les coups
Y a des hommes qui brisent leurs chaînes
Mourir peut-être, mais debout
A tien an men
Lyrics translation
At the Great Circus of stones, under the June sun
Men, sitting on the floor, braved fate
It was yesterday and it's since (c)already so far
I remember.
A spring like the other than that of PÃ (C) kin
Whose fault is it if we don't say anything about it?
But it was yesterday, what will we do tomorrow?
What will we do with it tomorrow?
A force to suffer the blows
There are cries that we no longer hear
Voices that have no other issues
Than to curse without a word say
- - - - - - - - - - -
There are men who lift their chains
May die, but stand
A tien an men
A gà (c) nà (C)ration mutilã(c)e, mutilÃ(c) e
Of his return that was not
This was (c)yesterday, it is already (c) forgotten but it is nothing
If the body is defeated, always burn the flame
That nothing will stain more at the pick of his soul
It is still today and it will be tomorrow
And it will be tomorrow
A force to suffer the blows
There are men who break their chains
May die, but stand
A tien an men
