The stars of humanity (version anglaise des Etoiles d'humanité)

THE STARS OF HUMANITY

 

We are humans, we have a heart

It is this earth that gave us life and feeds us

It is out of obligation that we accept our fate.

It would be more joyful if, during our sleep, we met

Our beautiful star, the one which is meant for us,

Which twinkles all the time, sometimes bright sometimes faint

If you receive its love, your loneliness fades away

And the new world shines and opens itself to you;

 

We are humans, we have a heart

We know how to give, and to receive,

That is the way we live…

When two people meet, it makes sparkles

Those are their stars that glitter and that are so beautiful…

 

In all the continents, big or small countries,

Every man has his richness, his own star that twinkles,

Every child, every woman keeps his flame of hope

Which can grow faint, but we can’t kill:

Let us dare to show it, let us be radiant

As long as we alive, there is our star which makes us hope

 

Let us dare to make the crazy choice of making it shine

Of making that happiness burst in the hearts of the hearts…
