Translation of the song lyrics Zora sourit - Grégory Lemarchal

Zora sourit (original)

Une rue les gens passent, les gens comme on les voit
Juste un flux, une masse, sans visage, sans voix
Quel etrange aujourd’hui, quelquechose, mais quoi?
Desobeit, desobeit
Une rue comme d’autres et le temps se suspend
Une tache, une faute et soudain tu comprends
Impudence inouie, insolite, indecent
Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit
Zora sourit, aux trottoirs, aux voitures, aux passants
Au vacarme, aux murs, au mauvais temps
A son visage nu sous le vent
A ses jambes qui dansent en marchant
A tout ce qui nous semble evident
Elle avance et benit chaque instant
Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit
Des phrases sur les murs, des regards de travers
Parfois quelques injures, elle en a rien a faire
Elle distribue ses sourires, elle en recoit autant
Zora sourit, effrontement
Zora sourit, insolemment
Zora sourit pour elle, elle sourit d’etre la
Mais elle sourit pour celles, celles qui sont la-bas
Pour ces femmes, ses soeurs qui ne savent plus sourire
Alors, des larmes plein le coeur, des larmes plein la vie
Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit

Zora sourit (translation)

A street people pass, people as we see them
Just a flow, a mass, faceless, voiceless
What strange today, something, but what?
disobey, disobey
A street like any other and time stands still
A stain, a fault and suddenly you understand
Incredible impudence, unusual, indecent
Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles
Zora smiles, at the sidewalks, at the cars, at the passers-by
To the din, to the walls, to the bad weather
To her bare face in the wind
To her legs that dance as she walks
To everything that seems obvious to us
She moves on and blesses every moment
Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles
Sentences on the walls, sidelong glances
Sometimes a few name calling, she don't care
She distributes her smiles, she receives as many
Zora smiles, cheekily
Zora smiles cheekily
Zora smiles for her, she smiles to be there
But she smiles for those, those who are there
For these women, her sisters who no longer know how to smile
So, tears full the heart, tears full the life
Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles
