TAL On advance (We advance) (with English Lyric translation)

In French

We Advance (On advance)

If I hear my elders judging
Criticizing my generation
I think that they're forgetting a little too fast
That the world is the one they left.
But we’re not all disillusioned
We’re missing just a little air, a few landmarks
No matter where, where we go
We’re walking on a crack.

(chorus)
We advance in silence
Like all those who have ever
Made things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We’re all in search of an ideal.
We advance in silence
But there will come a time
When the shouts of our hearts
We will know how to get them out
And we will choose our future.

We don’t want to change everything suddenly
Or to have another revolution
A little subtler than that which we believe
We all have an island deep within ourselves
And that’s where we put our dreams in suspense
And all our hopes in waiting
To be able to show, in the end
All that we are.

(chorus)
I know that the path remains to be taken
And that often our hearts despair
But beyond our fears, our anger
The day of this new era will come

(chorus)
We advance in silence
Like all those who have ever
Made things move
Without a flag and without heroes
We’re all in search of an ideal.
