the ony luxury
The only luxury we possess,
In this world, let’s say,
It’s to think about nature,
Men abuse men,
We can’t believe them often,
Women understand this,
So you have to listen to the birds,
Respect the elephants of Kenya,
So we must admire the roses,
To address them prayers,
spare the delicate whales
Preserving tropical forests is
The only luxury we possess.

The only luxury we possess,
In this world, let’s say,
It’s to think of each other,
To seek the goodness of some,
To admire the talent of others.
In the deafening thunderstorms,
Under the obscure ceiling of the clouds,
The only luxury we possess,
It’s to think of each other,
To admire Picasso and Courbet,
To think about Eric and Sébastien,
to Maryline and Martine, it’s
The only luxury we possess.
