Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
La folie des hommes, les tempêtes l'ont abîmé
Ooh ah oh... oh... ooh oh...
Qui se souvient de rivages vierges
Et des paradis blancs?
Qui se souvient des océans bleus
Des baleines et leurs chants?
Dans ce monde où plus rien n'est sacré
Si loin de nos valeurs
Avant que le désert n'efface
Nos rêves de couleurs
Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
Que la folie des hommes s'arrête
Que nos enfants puissent rêver
Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes
Ooh ah whoa...
On a construit des prisons de verre
Sur des forêts de cendres
On a transformé notre univers
Sans chercher à comprendre
Sur nos plages coule de l'encre
C'est le sang de la terre
Que les hommes qui nous commandent
Entendent nos prières
Nous, on rêve d'un paradis sur terre
Oh... on rêve
Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes
Prenez soin de notre planète
Take care of our planet
There are so many things to save
The madness of people, the storms have damaged it
Ooh ah oh... oh... ooh oh...
Who remembers the virgin coasts
And white paradises?
Who remembers the blue oceans
Whales and their songs?
In this world where nothing more is sacred
So far from our values
Before the desert wipes out
Our dreams of colours
Take care of our planet
There are so many things to save
May the madness of people stop
May our children be able to dream
Their eyes turned to the stars
Their hands stretched to the sky
May the winds carry their sails
May our steps guide their wings
Ooh ah whoa...
We have constructed prisons of glass
On forests of ashes
We have transformed our universe
Without trying to understand it
On our beaches flows ink
This is the blood of the earth
May those who give us orders
Hear our prayers
We dream of a paradise on earth
Oh... we dream
Their eyes turned to the stars
Their hands stretched to the sky
May the winds carry their sails
May our steps guide their wings
Take care of our planet
