Текст и перевод песни Dub Inc. feat. Balik, Taïro, Naâman, Jahneration, Skarra Mucci, Mellow Mood, Raphael, Didier Awadi, Solo Banton & Broussaï - À travers les vagues

À travers les vagues

Si les frontières sont fermées, on nage
Oh my brother tell them
On nous destine à braver l′orage
We are all citizens of the world so shout it
On n'a pas les mêmes chances et on n′a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières? On se réfugie, on s'invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu'on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
De quel droit,
Au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur
Refuser ce que l′on s′offre à nous-mêmes?
Si c'était moi, si c′était toi, o
N ferait pareil bien sûr qu'on crierait à l′aide
Ce que l'on voit à travers les vagues,
Ne sont que le reflet, le miroir de nous-mêmes
De quel droit,
Au nom de quelle loi peut-on leur
Refuser ce que l′on s'offre à nous-mêmes?
Hold on!
May I ask a question?
What if weh we see is just part of a plan?
Deceive divide put man against man
Play with the anger a di population
Financial empire love di situation
New slave masses from di next piece a land
Ask yourself who benefit from this, who mek money from this?
Then who cyaan get rid of this?
Et on compte les victimes, juste un autre listing
À l'image des visages anonymes
Mais qui sont les victimes, qui rallongent ces listings?
Au large, en marge, mais le regard digne
Peu importe les risques, peu importe la manière de partir
Quand l′assiette est vide il n′y a que l'espoir qui fait survivre
Quelle est la justice si l′on ne peut choisir son avenir?
Lorsque tous nos fils, nos frères sont prêts à choisir le pire
All they got is bombs and soldiers inna kaki suit
We see the people them starving while Babylon is looting
They sell the guns so the war can't cool
Haffi clear up the problem from the root
They run away with no paper
Open your door Mother Earth is our shelter
Find ourselves for the sake of one and others
Beyond the borders
On n′a pas les mêmes chances et on n'a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières? On se réfugie, on s′invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu'on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Because divide and separate just to rule
Play full control and play we fool
Give we all kind of reasons to kill your friend
Or even your brother or your family dem
They say that division would made us strong
But we prove dem wrong me say from so long
A time fi unite everybody stay strong
Well no matter your race, your colour or religion
Let's come together everybody hand in hand
Mek we march out strong in a dis yah revolution
We bun a fire upon dem separation
We′re standing strong in a dis yah Armageddon
Emergency
Worldwide seas are overflowing of people
Inna suffering, nobody give a damn thing, Lord
We can take this no more
Reach out to the needy and the poor
No man is an island, displacement a di people inna violence
Some a still smile and yet dem suffering inna silence
Walk pon di white sand then pass thru a tight fence
No wonda why the I stand fi unity and guidance
Dans le désert je n′ai pas le choix
Face à moi et à la mer je n'ai pas de quoi
Moi j′évolue en me disant vous voulez pas de moi
J'ai la couleur de la misère on m′a dit sans émoi
Alors plus rien à foutre on va risquer la vie
J'ai pas besoin de vos conseils et de tous vos avis
La vie c′est fifty-fifty tous on a un préavis
S'il faut sauver tous les miens fuck la mort voilà ma vie

Où sont les frontières? On se réfugie, on s'invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu′on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
On a bâti un monde concurrentiel
Un monde où pour les riches tout s'achète, tout se chiffre
On a voulu l'économie à grande échelle
Prétendant libérer nous n′avons fait qu′agrandir les chaines
En effet le problème de l'Europe dans
Laquelle je suis né c′est qu'elle commet des erreurs
Mais ne les reconnaît et fait semblant d′en ignorer les séquelles
À travers les vagues,
Je vois les visages des enfants qui se
Demandent pourquoi s'en aller? Pourquoi y aller?
They want to come round and control
We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold we
But who made them the judge and the jury?
A game you a play whether you chose him or chose me
So many in poverty,
I can′t believe when I see people sleep on the street
And enough of them a flee to protect
Their family from the financial war you a keep
Quand la faucheuse frappe à toutes les portes du village
Attendre son tour pour gagner de nouveaux rivages
Partir à tout prix, affronter les mauvais présages
Y a-t-il un espoir au-delà des barrages?
Quand on laisse les nôtres périr au large
Notre dignité sombre dans les larmes
Comment peut-on se regarder et rire aux larmes?
Quand se jouent sous nos yeux tous ces drames
Open the border let we cross
And give a message to your boss
Every man has the right to make a living
Every child has the right to survive
And you know sey you get what you giving
Let we cross and stay alive
On n'a pas les mêmes chances et on n'a pas les mêmes limites
Qui choisit la donne quand on nous sélectionne?
Où sont les frontières? On se réfugie, on s′invite
Tendre la main à travers les vagues
Face à la violence on a tous atteint nos limites
Lorsqu′on abandonne et que la mer déborde
Elle emporte avec elle notre humanité en dérive
Tendre la main à travers les vagues

Through the Waves

If the borders are closed, we swim, my love.
Oh my brother, tell them.
We are destined to brave the storm, darling.
We are all citizens of the world, so shout it.
We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits, sweetheart.
Who chooses the deal when we are selected?
Where are the borders? We take refuge, we invite ourselves in, my dear.
Reach out through the waves.
Faced with violence, we have all reached our limits.
When we give up and the sea overflows, my love,
It carries away our humanity adrift.
Reach out through the waves.
By what right,
In the name of what law can they
Refuse them what we offer ourselves, sweetheart?
If it were me, if it were you, oh,
We would do the same, of course we would cry for help, my dear.
What we see through the waves,
Is only the reflection, the mirror of ourselves.
By what right,
In the name of what law can they
Refuse them what we offer ourselves?
Hold on!
May I ask a question?
What if what we see is just part of a plan?
Deceive, divide, put man against man.
Play with the anger of the population.
Financial empires love the situation.
New slave masses from the next piece of land.
Ask yourself who benefits from this, who makes money from this?
Then who can't get rid of this?
And we count the victims, just another listing.
Like anonymous faces.
But who are the victims, who lengthen these listings?
Offshore, marginalized, but with a dignified look.
Regardless of the risks, regardless of how they leave.
When the plate is empty, only hope keeps us alive.
What is justice if we cannot choose our future?
When all our sons, our brothers are ready to choose the worst.
All they got is bombs and soldiers in khaki suits.
We see the people starving while Babylon is looting.
They sell the guns so the war can't cool.
Have to clear up the problem from the root.
They run away with no papers.
Open your door, Mother Earth is our shelter.
Find ourselves for the sake of one and others.
Beyond the borders.
We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits, my love.
Who chooses the deal when we are selected?
Where are the borders? We take refuge, we invite ourselves in.
Reach out through the waves.
Faced with violence, we have all reached our limits.
When we give up and the sea overflows,
It carries away our humanity adrift.
Reach out through the waves.
Because divide and separate just to rule.
Play full control and play us for fools.
Give us all kinds of reasons to kill your friend.
Or even your brother or your family.
They say that division would make us strong.
But we prove them wrong, I say, from so long.
Time to unite, everybody stay strong.
Well, no matter your race, your colour or religion.
Let's come together, everybody hand in hand.
Make we march out strong in this revolution.
We burn a fire upon their separation.
We're standing strong in this Armageddon.
Emergency.
Worldwide seas are overflowing with people.
In suffering, nobody gives a damn thing, Lord.
We can take this no more.
Reach out to the needy and the poor.
No man is an island, displacement of the people in violence.
Some still smile and yet they're suffering in silence.
Walk on the white sand then pass through a tight fence.
No wonder why I stand for unity and guidance.
In the desert I have no choice.
Facing me and the sea, I have nothing.
I evolve by telling myself you don't want me.
I have the colour of misery, they told me without emotion.
So I don't give a damn anymore, we're going to risk our lives.
I don't need your advice and all your opinions.
Life is fifty-fifty, we all have a notice.
If I have to save all my people, fuck death, that's my life.

We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits.
Who chooses the deal when we are selected?
Where are the borders? We take refuge, we invite ourselves in.
Reach out through the waves.
Faced with violence, we have all reached our limits.
When we give up and the sea overflows,
It carries away our humanity adrift.
Reach out through the waves.
We have built a competitive world.
A world where for the rich everything can be bought, everything has a price.
We wanted a large-scale economy.
Claiming to liberate, we only enlarged the chains.
Indeed, the problem with Europe,
In which I was born, is that it makes mistakes
But does not acknowledge them and pretends to ignore the consequences.
Through the waves,
I see the faces of children who
Ask themselves why leave? Why go there?
They want to come around and control.
We put up their barriers and borders so they can hold us.
But who made them the judge and the jury?
A game you are playing whether you chose him or chose me.
So many in poverty,
I can't believe when I see people sleeping on the street.
And enough of them flee to protect
Their family from the financial war you are keeping.
When the reaper knocks on every door in the village,
Wait your turn to win new shores.
Leave at all costs, face the bad omens.
Is there hope beyond the barriers?
When we let our own perish at sea,
Our dignity sinks in tears.
How can we look at each other and laugh through tears?
When all these dramas are playing out before our eyes.
Open the border, let us cross.
And give a message to your boss.
Every man has the right to make a living.
Every child has the right to survive.
And you know you get what you're giving.
Let us cross and stay alive.
We don't have the same chances and we don't have the same limits.
Who chooses the deal when we are selected?
Where are the borders? We take refuge, we invite ourselves in.
Reach out through the waves.
Faced with violence, we have all reached our limits.
When we give up and the sea overflows,
It carries away our humanity adrift.
Reach out through the waves.
