Lyrics
Halte là, quest-ce que tu crois?
C’est quoi ton idée?
Fais voir ton passeport, ton visa?
D’où tu viens? Où t’es né?
Ici tu vois, y’a des lois
Tu peux ni entrer ni rester
Tes papiers… C’est pas assez… Pour passer
Pourtant aux premiers jours
On marchaient sans détour
C'était chez nous tout autour
Dans le «no one’s land»
Pourtant aux premeirs jours
Y’avait pas de demi-tour
Mais on avaient le coeur moins lourd
Dans le «no one’s land»
Qui a dit «je m’arrête là
Je suis arrivé
Ce coin de terre c’est a moi»
Qui était le premier?
«Ce blé, la rivière et ces bois
Je ne sais pas qui les a faits
Mais le fil c’est moi qui l’est pensé… Barbelés»
Pourtant aux premiers jours
On marchaient droit sans détour
C'étaient chez nous tout autour
Dans le «no one’s land»
Pourtant aux premiers jours
Y’avait pas de demi-tour
Mais on avait le coeur moins lourd
Dans le «no one’s land»
Le même sang ne faisait qu’un tour
Sur lui-même chaque jour
Dans le «no one’s land»
Pourtant aux premiers jours
On marchaient droit sans détour
C'était chez nous tout autour
Dans le «no one’s land»
Pourtant depuis toujours
On marchaient fiers et sans recours
C'était chez nous tout autour
Dans le «no one’s land»
Pourtant aux premiers jours
Contre les dangers alentour
On se donnaient un peu d’amour
Dans le «no one’s land»
No one, no one’s land (x8)
Lyrics translation
Stop there, what do you think?
What's your idea?
Show me your passport, your visa?
Where Are you from? Where Were you born?
Here you see, there are laws
You can neither enter nor stay
Your papers ... it's not enough ... to get through.
Yet in the early days
We walked round and round
It was all around us
In " no one's land»
Yet in the early days
There was no turnaround
But we had a lighter heart
In " no one's land»
Who said " I'll stop there
I arrived
This piece of land is mine»
Who was the first?
"This wheat, the river and these woods
I don't know who made them.
But the wire is me who thought it... barbed wire»
Yet in the early days
We walked straight without detour
They were all around us.
In " no one's land»
Yet in the early days
There was no turnaround
But we had a lighter heart
In " no one's land»
The same blood was only a trick
On himself every day
In " no one's land»
Yet in the early days
We walked straight without detour
It was all around us
In " no one's land»
Yet always
We walked proudly and without recourse
It was all around us
In " no one's land»
Yet in the early days
Against the dangers surrounding
We gave each other a little love
In " no one's land»
No one, no one's land (x8)
