C'est aussi une machine de guerre.
Inpitoyable pour ses ennemis.
Il travaille pour lui en disant qu'il travaille pour nous.
Il nous dit merci en pensant à l'avoir qu'il a prit.Ce n'est pas bon. Ce n'est pas bon. Nous n'en voulons pas.

It’s also a machine of war
No pity for its enemies
He’s working for himself while saying that he’s working for us.
He tells us thank you while thinking that he’s the one who did it.It’s not good. It’s not good. We don’t want any.

People, good evening …
Can you help me do something?
Help me, do something. I can’t do it by myself …A great man left on an adventure
Without telling his fathers
Without telling his mothers
Without telling his brothers and sisters
Without telling his wife
Without telling his children
Without telling his neighbors.
It was a waste of time. [repeat verse]His wife suffered from his absence.
She did some bad business.
She took some bad loans.
She couldn’t feed herself.
She stole.
That was shameful. [repeat verse]People, good evening!
A young man left on an adventure. Ah!
He didn’t see his fathers, eh!
He didn’t see his mothers, eh!Ah! This thing became shameful

People!
Allow me to say, my brothers and sisters,
That God has all the power. Only God can …I didn’t know, but however hard something is,
There will be a day when it comes easy.
It will be easy one day
It will end one day
I swear, however hard something seems,
There will be a day when it comes easy
It will be easy one day
It will end one dayI realized that there is no effect without cause.
There is no effect without cause.
There is no effect without cause.I just realized: everything in its own time.
Everything in its own time.
Everything in its own time.If a man starts to feel the tedium
Of a mariage is just not working,
He musn’t be discouraged by others.
In this world, everything in its own time.Everything in its own time.
Everything in its own time.Everything in it’s own time.
Time itself is temporary …If a woman starts to feel the tedium
Of a mariage that is just not working
She mustn’t be discouraged by others.
In this world, everything in its own time.Everything in its own time.
Everything in its own time.Everything in its own time.

There is the sun, there is the joy of living.
There is sun, we are all together.I’m goin’ up and down

Here we go.There are countries where there’s snow.
There are countries where there are heatwaves.
There are the countries where it storms.
There are countries where there are islands.
In this world, things are complementary.It’s just a jealousy,
Everything for you and me.
You ready? Here we go.I got my feet, I’m jumping high off the wall.
I got my heart, I aint afraid of the fall.
I got my duffel bag that daddy packed for me.
I got my ear so I hear when you call.
I don’t need eyes just to see the good.
You always did, but they misunderstood.I’m goin’ up and down
And baby round and round.
I wanna touch you down the river below.
And then I’ll kiss you from your head to your toe.
You take me so high up, and then you let me down.Africa! Africa! Africa!
