Translation
I Want the World
I am the mirror
of the best love
I prayed all night
to make you see the day
and since then,
you have lost yourself in other beds
in the name of power,
you change your tune
you think you know everything,
ambition makes you deaf (x2)
you forget
the woman who offered you her life
[they are crazy] x4
I want the world
in citizens' tears
the woman is sovereign
we dream the world
we lead the Fronde*
nothing can scare us anymore
we know pain
we want the world
you play the soldiers,
I am your salute
you lose in battle,
the game goes on
if I give
nine months of myself
to make a man
[they are crazy] x4
in this bullfight,
you see virtue
death is for you
absolute enjoyment (x2)
you shiver
when a life abandons us
I want the world
in citizens' tears
the woman is sovereign
we dream the world
we lead the Fronde
nothing can scare us anymore
we know pain
we want the world
I am the world
since the earth is round
like a fertile mother
I want the world
without dark days
enough pain
I know it by heart
I want the world
in citizens' tears
the woman is sovereign
we dream the world
we lead the Fronde
nothing can scare us anymore
we know pain
we want the world
I want the world
in citizens' tears
the woman is sovereign
we dream the world
we lead the Fronde
nothing can scare us anymore
we know pain
we want the world

*The Fronde was a series of civil wars in France between 1648 and 1653, during the minority of Louis XIV. It literally means "sling", and was also the name of a children’s game played in the streets of Paris in defiance of civil authorities.
