LE POUVOIR DE DIRE "OUI" - THE POWER TO SAY "YES"

                                                           LES "OUI" AU POUVOIR




                                             Aujourd'hui, je prends la décision

                                                                    De réduire au silence les "non".

                                            Tous ces freins qui limitent mon action

                                                                   Et me font agir comme un mouton.

                                             Je veux voir l 'envers de mon enfer :

                                                                  Si le paradis, comme je le suppose,

                                            Est aux antipodes de ce que j'expose,

                                                                  Je n'ai que quelques pas à faire

                                          Pour que mon être se réveille

                                                                 A une vie de merveilles............

                                                      THE "YES" IN THE POWER

 
                                       Today, I make the decision

                                                                      For ever, to silence the "no."

                                       All these brakes which limit my action

                                                                    And make me act like a sheep.

                                       I want to see the other side of my hell :

                                                                     If the paradise, as I suppose, 

                                       Is to the antipodes of what I expose,

                                                            I have only a few steps to be made

                                        For my being awake

                                                                     In a life of marvels ............

POURQUOI ? - WHY ?

                                                             POURQUOI ?



                                                    Pourquoi moi, pourquoi toi ?

                                                              Pourquoi pas !

                                             Pourquoi le travail forçat et pas la joie ?

                                                    Qui fait pour nous ces choix ?

                                                    Le train chemine dans la nuit,

                                                 Nous emportant vers  notre ennui.

                                               Les rires et les sourires dans les têtes,

                                               Cachés au plus profond de notre être.

                                                   Pourquoi pas plutôt le bonheur ?

                                                 Mais, nous arrivons....C'est l'heure !

                                                                    WHY?

                                                           Why me, why you?

                                                                 Why not!

                                        Why the work convict and not the enjoyment ? 

                                                 Who makes these choices for us ?

                                                         The train walks at night ,

                                                   Taking us towards our boredom.

                                                The laughter and the smiles in  heads,

                                                   Hidden in the depths of our being.

                                                     Why not rather the happiness?

                                                    But, we are arriving .... It is time!
