It won't be enough.

Don’t you come back !

But it won’t be enough to sing,

I’ll have to shout.

Cause it won’t be enough to sigh,

Don’t you see that your boys are weeping ?

I’m sure none of us can believe

That such a pain will lead us to peace.

So it won’t be enough to pray, alone,

We’ll have to shout all together.
Cause it won’t be enough to die,

Can’t you see you’re getting blind ?

Won’t you let them hear the music of the muezzin

Won’t you let the people of Israel quietly sing and dance

Instead of crying under the fury of your bombs ?

It won’t be enough for the new-born babe to cry,

He’ll have to shout

Until you understand he may be your own beloved son.

Car je sais que ma voix

N’ira pas assez loin toute seule.
C’est mêlée à la vôtre

Qu’elle couvrira tout ce vacarme,

Inutile.
