Genius Translations
Damien Sargue & Grégori Baquet & Philippe d’Avilla - Les rois du monde [English Translation]
Kings of this world live on high
They've got the nicest view, but - yes, there’s a but -
They don't know what people below think of them
They don't know that here we are the kings
Kings of this of this world do whatever they want to
They’ve got many people around them, but they're lonely
In their castles over there, the get bored
While below we're dancing all night long
We, we make love and live life
Day after day night after night
What's the use of being on Earth
If it's to live our whole lives on our knees
We know that time is like the wind
To live is the only thing that matters
We don't care much about morals
We know for sure that we make no harm
Kings of this world fear everything
Because they can't tell dog from wolf
They build traps where they will fall one day
They keep themselves from everything, even from love
Kings of this world fight each other
There's room, but only for one, not for two
And below we won’t fight their war
We don’t even know the reason, all that is a kings' game
We, we make love and live life
Day after day night after night
What’s the use of being on Earth
If it's to live our whole lives on our knees
We know that time is like the wind
To live is the only thing that matters
We don't care much about morals
We know for sure that we make no harm
