Mille colombes [English translation]

Winter is here on the roofs of the village.

The sky is white

and I hear the children's choir

in the old church

singing over an organ ripe with age.

Peace be upon the world

for the next hundred thousand years.

Give us a thousand doves

for all the rising suns.

Give us a thousand doves

and millions of swallows.

Bring us a day that all men

become children again.

Tomorrow is us, and tomorrow, no more war.

Tomorrow, everywhere, the guns will sleep under flowers.

A pretty world is a world where you live without fear.

To you!

Peace be upon the world

for the next hundred thousand years.

Give us a thousand doves

for all the rising suns.

Give us a thousand doves

and millions of swallows.

Bring us a day that all men

become children again.

All together!

Peace be upon the world

for the next hundred thousand years.

Give us a thousand doves

for all the rising suns.

Give us a thousand doves

and millions of swallows.

Bring us a day that all men

become children again.
