Lyrics and translation Milt Jackson - People Make the World Go Round

People Make the World Go Round

People
('Round and around and around, 'round)
People make the world go 'round
('Round and around and around, 'round)

Teachers on strike, no more school today
They want more money but the board won't pay
('Round and around and around, 'round, people)
Everybody's talkin' 'bout ecology
The air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe
(Air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe, people)

But that's what makes the world go 'round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young men
People make the world go 'round
(People make the world go 'round)

Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They'd swear you're a hippy if you have long hair
('Round and around and around, 'round, people)
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality
(People still cry for equality, people)

But that's what makes the world go 'round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young men
People make the world go 'round
(People make the world go 'round)

People
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young men
People make the world go 'round
And around and around, 'round

People make the world go round
And around and around, 'round
People make the world go round
And around and around, 'round
People make the world go round
And around and around, 'round
...

Les gens font tourner le monde

Les gens
('Round and around and around, 'round)
Les gens font tourner le monde
('Round and around and around, 'round)

Les enseignants sont en grève, plus d'école aujourd'hui
Ils veulent plus d'argent mais le conseil d'administration ne paiera pas
('Round and around and around, 'round, people)
Tout le monde parle d'écologie
L'air est tellement pollué qu'il est difficile de respirer
(Air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe, people)

Mais c'est ce qui fait tourner le monde
Les hauts et les bas d'un carrousel
Changer la tête des gens
Va sous terre, jeunes hommes
Les gens font tourner le monde
(People make the world go 'round)

Les vieux te jugent par les vêtements que tu portes
Ils jureraient que tu es un hippie si tu as les cheveux longs
('Round and around and around, 'round, people)
Les jeunes politiciens luttent contre la pauvreté
Alors que les gens pleurent encore pour l'égalité
(People still cry for equality, people)

Mais c'est ce qui fait tourner le monde
Les hauts et les bas d'un carrousel
Changer la tête des gens
Va sous terre, jeunes hommes
Les gens font tourner le monde
(People make the world go 'round)

Les gens
Mais c'est ce qui fait tourner le monde
Les hauts et les bas d'un carrousel
Changer la tête des gens
Va sous terre, jeunes hommes
Les gens font tourner le monde
Et autour et autour, 'round

Les gens font tourner le monde
Et autour et autour, 'round
Les gens font tourner le monde
Et autour et autour, 'round
Les gens font tourner le monde
Et autour et autour, 'round
...
