Je suis CHARLIE

millions came,
millions marched,
millions cared

je suis charlie
j'ose le faire
je ne vais pas me taire

je suis charlie
même si j'ai peur
d'islam
ces personnes qui haïssent
ces personnes qui tuent

je suis charlie
solidaire
avec des millions de charlie

comme ça on va faire
qu'on avance
que les choses changent

je suis charlie
charlie hebdo
d'un hebdomadaire extraordinaire

ou on va pas le faire
notre monde le sauver
que notre monde va continuer

je suis charlie
j'ose

Elsa


and in English

I am CHARLIE

I am charlie
I dare, I care
to be charlie
I dare, I care
to speak as charlie

I am charlie
though not without fear
of islam
of the hate
of the killers

but I am charlie
I stand
with the others
the millions of others
millions of charlies

we stand together
with charlie hebdo,
the extraordinary charlie hebdo
words that dared
     images that dared
words and images
     that continue to dare

or we will not save the world
our world

so I stand with charlie
I am charlie
I care and dare
