Translation of Le Monde Tourne Mal from French to English
The world is going wrong
There's something off-kilter
In its tempo
The world is going wrong
In the great global sound system
It sounds false
There are billions of people
Who squat it, who ring it
Who dance on it
But everyone marks their rhythm
Everyone wants to sing their anthem
We can't hear each other anymore
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
The world is going wrong
There are scents of scandal
On its skin
The world is going wrong
It wants to play the stars
In the newspapers
There are billions of people
Who pump its ozone
Who hit it
Who take it for a target
Who throw their missiles at it
We can't hear each other anymore
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
You think you see everything
You think you know
You watch the TV news in the evening
But in these words
In these photos
Who can judge what is true, what is false
(Let's dance)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) let's dance
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) let's dance
So we follow the trend (oh yeah)
We move in the movement (oh yeah, let's dance)
To save appearances
And when we've done the round (oh yeah)
We try to talk about love (oh yeah, let's dance)
Before the countdown
Four, three, two, one
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
There are billions of people
Who squat it and ring it
Who dance on it
But everyone marks their rhythm
Everyone wants to sing their anthem
We can't hear each other anymore (let's dance, let's dance)
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
What can we do? (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Let's dance
