English translation

This World

• 1. French “comme ça” is casual and a bit pointed; “like that” keeps the colloquial bite (vs. “like this,” which feels nearer in space but less idiomatic here).
• 2. “Comprenais pas” can be “didn’t understand,” “didn’t get,” or even “couldn’t see.” I chose “didn’t get” for spoken-natural tone.
• 3. Metaphoric chill (emotional/social), not physical weather; “cold” keeps the bluntness without over-dramatizing.
• 4. Could be “rewrite history,” but that carries political/denialist overtones in English; “change the story” preserves creative agency without those echoes.
• 5. “Donnez-moi” is plural/polite: addressed to a collective/authority. “Avenir” could be “future” or “tomorrow”; “future” keeps the grand register.
• 6. French plural “jasmins”; in English, “jasmine” is typically a mass noun—kept for naturalness and scent imagery.
• 7. “S’éteint” might be “going out/fading.” I echo that with “relight the day,” a bold calque that keeps the striking French image of day as a light you switch back on.
• 8. Could be “tomorrow’s world” (more prosaic); “world of tomorrow” sounds slogan-like and ceremonious, matching the refrain’s tone.
• 9. “Je l’abandonnerai pas” literally “I won’t abandon it.” In English “abandon it” feels harsher; “give up on it” better matches the affect of sticking with the world.
• 10. Deliberately ambiguous: the end of childhood, of the pain, or of the world’s ordeal? I keep the openness of the French line.
