Stromae - Peace or Violence (English Translation)
[Intro]
Peace or violence?
[Verse 1]
I saw people raise their arms with two fingers in the air
Their middle and index fingers forming a "V"
I therefore asked what this symbol could mean
And nobody oh great nobody could explain it to me
Could it be a sign of peace or a “V” for violence?
Does anybody know what will happen
Or what it does?
[Refrain]
(Peace or violence?)
What do I know about it?
(Peace or violence?)
What do I know about it?

[Verse 2]
And I told myself that it was the same because I got an idea
I was treated like a pessimist with words to commit suicide
(Peace or violence?)
And I insisted, and I wil insist
But apparently, according to the big ones, it's long to express
It will take time that will have time
But eventually I will know
In five years or ten years or twenty years
But I hope to die before it!
