Ecoute

Yannick Noah

Original text

Arrivés sur des rivages

De l’espoir plein les yeux,

Espérant tourner la page

Pour caresser d’autres cieux.

Croyant d’un nouveau savoir

Renoncer à tous tes dieux.

Au nom des sages,

De notre mémoire

Moi je veux te crier !

Ecoute, écoute

L’histoire de ton pays

Tu en fais partie

Ecoute, écoute

Ce qu’ils nous ont appris

Tous ces chants

Que tu portes en toi.

Ecoute, écoute

L’histoire de ton pays

Tu en fais partie

Ecoute, écoute

L’histoire de mon pays

Comme la flamme

Que l’on garde en soi.

Tu pensais qu’un nouveau langage

Effacerait les traditions,

Que ta force et ton courage

Feraient de toi un de leur nation

Mais il y a sur nos visages

L’envie de n'être pas comme eux.

Au nom des sages,

De notre mémoire

Moi je veux te crier !

Si tu oublies les mots des sages

Mots des coutumes,

Mots du passé

C’est ton âme qui part au passage

Et je veux, je dois te crier

Song translation

Arrived on shores

eyes full of hope,

Hoping to turn the page

To caress other skies.

Believer of new knowledge

Renounce all your gods.

In the name of the wise,

From our memory

I want to scream at you!

Listen, listen

The story of your country

you are part of it

Listen, listen

What they taught us

All these songs

That you carry within you.

Listen, listen

The story of your country

you are part of it

Listen, listen

The story of my country

Like the flame

That we keep within.

You thought a new language

would erase the traditions,

That your strength and your courage

Would make you one of their nation

But there's on our faces

The desire not to be like them.

In the name of the wise,

From our memory

I want to scream at you!

If you forget the words of the wise

custom words,

Words of the past

It's your soul that goes by

And I want to, I have to shout to you
