| Je m’appelle Charlie, |
| et aujourd’hui j’ai froid, |
| j’ai pas envie de rire. |
| J’avais oublié qu’en hiver, |
| il était bon d’se couvrir. |
| J’me suis dessiné des mitaines, |
| et une écharpe bon marché, |
| j’aurai jamais cru qu’mon rêve, |
| pourrait m'ôter ma liberté. |
| Mon crime, celui pour l’quel j’suis condamné, |
| c’est d’avoir souri sur des sujets où les autres se sont braqués, |
| C’est d’oser dénoncer, avec second degré, caricaturer une réalité |
| Souvent trop oubliée. |
| Mais où vas tu mon monde? |
| Esclave des arts et des lettres? |
| Ta liberté c’est donc de fuir plutôt que de l’admettre? |
| Tu appelles au combat, quand nous restons bouffons des rois, |
| Divertir pour des sourires, est-ce là l’erreur qui nous tuera? |
| J’ai froid, j’ai peur. |
| Aujourd’hui le vent me glace le sang, |
| j’ai l’impression qu’la fin a trouvé son commencement. |
| Alors courez, hurlez, indignez vous face à mes dires, |
| Alors criez, jugez, si être à genoux pour vous c’est vivre, |
| On ne m’enlèvera rien, on ne m’achèvera pas, |
| Vous voulez être libres? |
| Mais vous n'êtes rien de ça. |
| Alors pleurez, tombez, mais ne regrettez pas, |
| La vie nous a donné le choix de mener nos propres combats, |
| Notre arme a été la parole, quelques crayons, ça n’suffit pas, |
| Il aura suffit d’une fois pour que notre arme ait perdue foi. |
| Je m’appelle Charlie, et aujourd’hui j’ai froid, j’ai pas envie d’rire. |
| Non car aujourd’hui je suis mort, et c’est demain que vient le pire. |
| (translation) |
| My name is Charlie, |
| and today I'm cold, |
| I don't want to laugh. |
| I had forgotten that in winter, |
| it was good to cover up. |
| I drew mittens for myself, |
| and a cheap scarf, |
| I would never have believed that my dream, |
| could take away my freedom. |
| My crime, the one for which I am condemned, |
| is to have smiled on subjects where others have focused, |
| It is to dare to denounce, with second degree, to caricature a reality |
| Often too forgotten. |
| But where are you going my world? |
| Slave to arts and letters? |
| So your freedom is to run rather than admit it? |
| You call for battle, when we're still fooling around kings, |
| Entertaining for smiles, is this the mistake that will kill us? |
| I'm cold, I'm scared. |
| Today the wind freezes my blood, |
| I feel like the end has found its beginning. |
| So run, scream, be indignant at my words, |
| So shout, judge, if to be on your knees is to live for you, |
| Nothing will be taken from me, nothing will be finished off, |
| Want to be free? |
| But you are none of that. |
| So cry, fall, but don't regret, |
| Life has given us the choice to fight our own battles, |
| Our weapon was the word, a few pencils, that's not enough, |
| It only took once for our weapon to lose faith. |
| My name is Charlie, and today I'm cold, I don't feel like laughing. |
| No, because today I am dead, and tomorrow is the worst. |
