Translation of the song lyrics Qui Sommes Nous ? - Olivia Ruiz

Qui Sommes Nous ? (original)

Chaque jour la vie m´encense de tous ses non sens
Ces sens interdits qui malmènent mon innocences
Les biens pensants pensent et le autres dépensent ou plutôt ils compensent
Nos pauvres existences sont sur une balance d´un monde qui s´en balance
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
De vieux fous plantés sur un caillou
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des histoires a dormir debout
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des bras de machines à sous
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Et qu´attendez vous?
Chaque jour sur terre, les hommes s´assument de moins en moins
Que peuvent-ils encore faire pour mieux éclairer nos destins
Leurs dessins sont clairs, c´est le billet vert, la bourse des vauriens
Et le monde des affaires, qui chaque jour s´affaire, les autres ça fait rien
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
De vieux fous plantés sur un caillou
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des histoires a dormir debout
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des bras de machines à sous
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Et qu´attendez vous?
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
De vieux fous plantés sur un caillou
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des histoires a dormir debout
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Des bras de machines à sous
Mais dites moi qui sommes nous?
Et qu´attendez vous?

(translation)

Every day life incenses me with all its nonsense
These prohibited directions that mistreat my innocence
The good thinkers think and the others spend or rather they compensate
Our poor existences are on a balance of a world that is balanced
But tell me who are we?
Old fools planted on a rock
But tell me who are we?
Sleep tall stories
But tell me who are we?
slot machine arms
But tell me who are we?
And what are you waiting for?
Every day on earth, men assume less and less
What else can they do to better illuminate our destinies
Their drawings are clear, it's the greenback, the purse of rascals
And the business world, which is busy every day, the others don't matter
But tell me who are we?
Old fools planted on a rock
But tell me who are we?
Sleep tall stories
But tell me who are we?
slot machine arms
But tell me who are we?
And what are you waiting for?
But tell me who are we?
Old fools planted on a rock
But tell me who are we?
Sleep tall stories
But tell me who are we?
slot machine arms
But tell me who are we?
And what are you waiting for?
