Lyrics and translation
Original
Mais comment deviner, comment savoir quoi faire?
Quelles grimaces inventer, que fichu inventeur.
Mais comment deviner le mal qu'on peut se faire?
Quel feu avait couvé?
Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent, quel terrible univers.
Qu'avais-tu découvert? Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent.
Mais comment deviner qui ira en enfer?
Ou qui paiera le prix, qui paiera le plus cher?
Cela mélancolie les avis divers.
Certains voient tout en gris, certains deviennent amers. Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent, quel terrible univers.
Qu'avais-tu découvert? Quel sauvage continent.
Mais comment oublier en éteint pas la lumière qui un jour brillait, on ne peut rien y faire.
Mais comment deviner que nous serions en guerre?
Qu'il faudrait se quitter, ne plus revenir en arrière. Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent, quel terrible univers.
Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent, quel terrible univers. Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Qu'avais-tu découvert?
Quel sauvage continent.
English translation
But how to guess, how to know what to do?
What grimaces to invent, what a damn inventor.
But how can we guess the harm we can do to ourselves?
What fire was smoldering?
What had you discovered?
What a wild continent, what a terrible universe.
What had you discovered? What had you discovered?
What a wild continent.
But how can you guess who will go to hell?
Or who will pay the price, who will pay the most?
This saddens various opinions.
Some see everything in gray, some become bitter. What had you discovered?
What a wild continent, what a terrible universe.
What had you discovered? What a wild continent.
But how can we forget without turning off the light that once shone, there is nothing we can do about it.
But how could we guess that we would be at war?
That we should leave each other, never go back. What had you discovered?
What a wild continent, what a terrible universe.
What had you discovered?
What a wild continent, what a terrible universe. What had you discovered?
What had you discovered?
What a wild continent.
