For Helene

You will not have my hatred,

You will not have my fear.

You will not become my enemy,

Ma chérie, my dear.

I'll pursue you with love,

I will not make you suffer.

You are not an animal or demon,

But a son, you're a brother.

I'll be brave for the children,

I must teach them to be:

Lovers of peace,

Proclaimers of liberté.
