Translation of On Avance from French to English
We move forward
If I hear my elders judge
Criticize my generation
I think they forget a little too quickly
That the world is as they left it
But we're not all disillusioned
We just lack a bit of air, of landmarks
Anywhere, wherever we go
We walk on a fault line
We move forward in silence
Like all those who dare to make things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We are all in need of an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We will know how to let them out
And our future we will choose
We don't want to change everything, all at once
Nor start a revolution
A little more subtle than what we believe
We all have an island deep within us
And we put our dreams on hold there
And all our hopes while waiting
To finally be able to show, all that we are
We move forward in silence
Like all those who dare to make things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We are all in need of an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We will know how to let them out
And our future we will choose
I know that there is still a way to go
And that often our hearts despair
But beyond our fears, our angers
Will come the day of this new era
We move forward in silence
Like all those who dare to make things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We are all in need of an ideal
We move forward in silence
But the time will come when our cries from the heart
We will know how to let them out
And our future we will choose
We move forward in silence
Like all those who dare to make things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We are all in need of an ideal
