Translation of the song lyrics À travers les vagues - Dub Inc, Skarra Mucci, Naâman

À travers les vagues (original)

Si les frontières sont fermées, on nage
Oh my brother tell them
On nous destine à braver l’orage
We are all citizens of the world so shout it
On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières?
On se réfugie, on s’invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
De quel droit, au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur refuser ce que l’on s’offre à
nous-mêmes?
Si c'était moi, si c'était toi, on ferait pareil bien sûr qu’on crierait à
l’aide
Ce que l’on voit à travers les vagues, ne sont que le reflet, le miroir de
nous-mêmes
De quel droit, au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur refuser ce que l’on s’offre à
nous-mêmes?
Hold on!
May I ask a question?
What if weh we see is just part of a plan?
Deceive divide put man against man
Play with the anger a di population
Financial empire love di situation
New slave masses from di next piece a land
Ask yourself who benefit from this, who mek money from this?
Then who cyaan get rid of this?
Et on compte les victimes, juste un autre listing
À l’image des visages anonymes
Mais qui sont les victimes, qui rallongent ces listings?
Au large, en marge, mais le regard digne
Peu importe les risques, peu importe la manière de partir
Quand l’assiette est vide il n’y a que l’espoir qui fait survivre
Quelle est la justice si l’on ne peut choisir son avenir?
Lorsque tous nos fils, nos frères sont prêts à choisir le pire
All they got is bombs and soldiers inna kaki suit
We see the people them starving while Babylon is looting
They sell the guns so the war can’t cool
Haffi clear up the problem from the root
They run away with no paper
Open your door Mother Earth is our shelter
Find ourselves for the sake of one and others
Beyond the borders
On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières?
On se réfugie, on s’invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Because divide and separate just to rule
Play full control and play we fool
Give we all kind of reasons to kill your friend
Or even your brother or your family dem
They say that division would made us strong
But we prove dem wrong me say from so long
A time fi unite everybody stay strong
Well no matter your race, your colour or religion
Let’s come together everybody hand in hand
Mek we march out strong in a dis yah revolution
We bun a fire upon dem separation
We’re standing strong in a dis yah Armageddon
Emergency
Worldwide seas are overflowing of people inna suffering, nobody give a damn
thing, Lord
We can take this no more
Reach out to the needy and the poor
No man is an island, displacement a di people inna violence
Some a still smile and yet dem suffering inna silence
Walk pon di white sand then pass thru a tight fence
No wonda why the I stand fi unity and guidance
Dans le désert je n’ai pas le choix
Face à moi et à la mer je n’ai pas de quoi
Moi j'évolue en me disant vous voulez pas de moi
J’ai la couleur de la misère on m’a dit sans émoi
Alors plus rien à foutre on va risquer la vie
J’ai pas besoin de vos conseils et de tous vos avis
La vie c’est fifty-fifty tous on a un préavis
S’il faut sauver tous les miens fuck la mort voilà ma vie

On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières?
On se réfugie, on s’invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
On a bâti un monde concurrentiel
Un monde où pour les riches tout s’achète, tout se chiffre
On a voulu l'économie à grande échelle
Prétendant libérer nous n’avons fait qu’agrandir les chaines
En effet le problème de l’Europe dans laquelle je suis né c’est qu’elle commet
des erreurs
Mais ne les reconnaît et fait semblant d’en ignorer les séquelles
À travers les vagues, je vois les visages des enfants qui se demandent pourquoi
s’en aller?
Pourquoi y aller?
They want to come round and control
We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold we
But who made them the judge and the jury?
A game you a play whether you chose him or chose me
So many in poverty, I can’t believe when I see people sleep on the street
And enough of them a flee to protect their family from the financial war you a
keep
Quand la faucheuse frappe à toutes les portes du village
Attendre son tour pour gagner de nouveaux rivages
Partir à tout prix, affronter les mauvais présages
Y a-t-il un espoir au-delà des barrages?
Quand on laisse les nôtres périr au large
Notre dignité sombre dans les larmes
Comment peut-on se regarder et rire aux larmes?
Quand se jouent sous nos yeux tous ces drames
Open the border let we cross
And give a message to your boss
Every man has the right to make a living
Every child has the right to survive
And you know sey you get what you giving
Let we cross and stay alive
On n’a pas les mêmes chances et on n’a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières?
On se réfugie, on s’invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu’on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues

À travers les vagues (translation)

If the borders are closed, we swim
Oh my brother tell them
We are destined to brave the storm
We are all citizens of the world so shoot it
We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits
Who picks the deal when we're selected?
Where are the borders?
We take refuge, we invite each other
Reaching out through the waves
In the face of violence we've all reached our limits
When we give up and the sea overflows
She takes with her our drifting humanity
Reaching out through the waves
By what right, in the name of what law can we deny them what we offer ourselves to
ourselves?
If it was me, if it was you, we'd do the same of course we'd shout at
ugly
What one sees through the waves, are only the reflection, the mirror of
ourselves
By what right, in the name of what law can we deny them what we offer ourselves to
ourselves?
Hold on!
May I ask a question?
What if weh we see is just part of a plan?
Deceive divide put man against man
Play with the anger a di population
Financial empire love situation
New slave masses from di next piece a land
Ask yourself who benefit from this, who mek money from this?
Then who cyan get rid of this?
And we count the victims, just another listing
Like anonymous faces
But who are the victims, who lengthen these listings?
Wide, marginal, but dignified look
No matter the risks, no matter how you go
When the plate is empty there is only hope that makes you survive
What's the justice if you can't choose your future?
When all our sons, our brothers are ready to choose the worst
All they got is bombs and soldiers inna kaki suit
We see the people starving them while Babylon is looting
They sell the guns so the war can't cool
Haffi clear up the problem from the root
They run away with no paper
Open your door Mother Earth is our shelter

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits

No wonda why the I stand fi unity and guidance
In the desert I have no choice
In front of me and the sea I have nothing
Me I evolve telling myself you don't want me
I have the color of misery they told me without emotion
So don't give a fuck we gon' risk our lives
I don't need your advice and all your opinions
Life is fifty-fifty we all have notice
If it's necessary to save all mine fuck death here is my life

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits
Who picks the deal when we're selected?
Where are the borders?
We take refuge, we invite each other
Reaching out through the waves
In the face of violence we've all reached our limits
When we give up and the sea overflows
She takes with her our drifting humanity
Reaching out through the waves
We built a competitive world
A world where for the rich everything can be bought, everything can be calculated
We wanted the economy on a large scale
Pretending to liberate we only widened the chains
Indeed the problem of the Europe in which I was born is that it commits
errors
But does not recognize them and pretends to ignore the consequences
Through the waves I see the faces of children wondering why
leave?
Why go there?
They want to come round and control
We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold we
But who made them the judge and the jury?
A game you a play whether you chose him or chose me
So many in poverty, I can't believe when I see people sleep on the street
And enough of them a flee to protect their family from the financial war you a
keep
When the grim reaper knocks on all the doors of the village
Waiting your turn to reach new shores
Leaving at all costs, facing bad omens
Is there hope beyond the dams?
When we let ours perish offshore
Our dignity sinks in tears
How can we look at each other and laugh to tears?
When all these dramas play out before our eyes
Open the border let we cross
And give a message to your boss
Every man has the right to make a living
Every child has the right to survive
And you know sey you get what you give
Let we cross and stay alive
We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits
Who picks the deal when we're selected?
Where are the borders?
We take refuge, we invite each other
Reaching out through the waves
In the face of violence we've all reached our limits
When we give up and the sea overflows
She takes with her our drifting humanity
Reaching out through the waves
