This is my translation. I'm not really sure about some passages, I've put those in italics witht he original after them so if someone wants to help, these are the parts I wasn't sure about.

If peace could embrace the world for only one day
One truce, one pause so that one knows what one is running after.
Does one still know what love means?
I fear not, God shows it to us every day...
The planet turns backwards, that frightens me,
See the flames of hell brothers and sisters
Don't sell your souls to it.
I'd like to say that the keys to happiness are not found in notes from the bank
See all these people free of fear who hate them
Who love life but she (?) has given them a kiss of death
(Qui aiment la vie mais celle-ci leur a fait un baiser mortel)
Some rhymes which you can compare to the tears of the sun
One day of peace, so much that there will be men and women who love each other/themselves (I think it can mean both)
My heart is not a remote control
We all want a woman present, even in the pain
Everyone regains their home, like the trenches
Your skin colour can make you a foreigner
You think that's normal? I feel at home no matter where.
World citizen with few means but at least free,
Deep inside me I have pain to understand,
when I see these children badly clothed, badly nourished, victims of maltreatment,
Vitry, the frame of my life, has been eroded by the traffic of love in drops *
(Vitry, mon cadre de vie rongé par l'trafic d'l'amour au
compte goutte)
like the humanitarian aid for Africa
With a burning heart, it's not enough to get up with the right foot
Wade through the flames courageously and brave like a firefighter.

How to stay insensitive?
Violence flows over, changes the attitude of the human being
is it possible?
How to stay insensitive?
A poor life in a poor quarter but for the bread
as much as possible.
Blacko:
As a rasta man, I lead my battle
I call it love but for the devil I have ??
(Je l'appelle l'amour mais pour le diable j'ai des coups de
ton-ba.)
I will not drop the affair, I will not drop the arm
I will believe in it as hard as iron even when my heart stops.
One day of peace for our sons.
One day of peace for our daughters,
One day without everything spiralling away,
One day without hate, without fear, without pain
One day on which the Babylon system falls.
I am a human being like everyone
I stop at sensitive things
You know that with time even the most rebellious ones calm down
I want to see joy despite the hate in the eyes of people
I am in pain when I watch the news and see what is happening on our continent
I live there and the days mix with the night
There where also they give few chances to those most deprived
To the orphans who find love in a second home
After their childhood, cradled by the rage of a father
All our values have flowed away in some.
An urban violence in the milieu of ours.
Dream of a world without discrimination, without conflicts,
Give the hand to those in loneliness
Like that little one paralysed on a bed, that one sees to it that joy whispers this moment
(qu'on voit qu'le bonheur
ce second souffle)
There are people who suffer, and who don't pretend.
For all the countries at war, I wave the white flag.
Drop the weapons, dry your tears for a day of peace
It's now.
If peace could embrace the world for only one day
One truce, one pause so that one knows what one is running after.
Does one still know what love means?
I fear not, God shows it to us every day...
The planet turns backwards, that frightens me,
See the flames of hell brothers and sisters
Don't sell your souls to it.

Ohohoh yeah...
113, Blacko
9-4, 9-5
Gotcha music
Yeah ...
How do you expect the earth to turn the right way if our brains are marching the other way round?
Reaction, reaction
