T'attends quoi [English translation]

From Basrah to the doors of the desert,

I don't stop for any boarders.

Always been a nomad, since Sheherazade,

Waiting for the day which would rescue us from drowning.

From the land of Tibet, the peak in the sky,

The mountains are alive beneath the endless snow.

Always been a Sherpa, of summits, of facades,

Waiting for the day which would rescue us from drowning.

What do you wait for?

For the Earth to lecture us?

For the sun to stop burning?

For everyone to die?

Tell me, tell me, what do we wait for?

For the Earth to lecture us?

For the sun to stop burning?

For everyone to die?

Tell me, tell me, what do we wait for?

From a forest along the Amazon,

Knowing the secrets of the plants and of the animals.

Always been alive,

Listening to the falls,

Waiting for the day which would rescue us from drowning.

Floating, drifting, a boat without the winds,

Praying that I'd come to where no one awaits me.

Always been lost, from Odyssey to the Iliad,

Waiting for the day which would rescue us from drowning.

What do you wait for?

For the Earth to lecture us?

For the Sun to stop burning?

For everyone to die?

Tell me, tell me, what do we wait for?

For the Earth to lecture us?

For the Sun to stop burning?

For everyone to die?

Tell me, tell me, what do they wait for?

Tell me, tell me, what do I wait for?

For the Earth to lecture us?

For the Sun to stop burning?

For everyone to die?

Tell me, tell me, what do I wait for?

Tell me, tell me, what do I wait for?
