Analysis of One day in Paris - Un jour à Paris
One day in Paris
- France, dear France.
- France, land of freedom and expression.
- Paris, capital of love and our cherished freedom.
- Oh ! You Paris, this ugly and bruised Black Friday…
- Paris, capital of artists; Chagall, Picasso, Manet, Pissaro , Cézanne, Sysley , Van gogh , Fromentin, Chasseriau , Rodin, Ingres, Matisse, Léger, Balthus, Balzac, Hugo, Zola, Proust…
- You, oh! Capital of arts and letters.
- You, beautiful lady with a refined taste, your immaculate white dress, reddened and struck by monstrous fury.
- No, France, the beautiful rebellious, proud of her values that bring hope and freedom…
- The monstrous beast with a dark design will not triumph.
- You are beautiful, outraged, abused, you will smile, facing the hideous beast.
- The souls of innocent people struck in the heart will shine in the sky.
- You, with your army of shadows, you will not satisfy us. Men and women with freedom-loving minds will not let you do it.
- Barbarism and savagery will not win.
- The minds blinded, of rage, of blood, and of fury will not see the light, promised to the cold blackness of darkness.
- The bruised sweet souls will light up the heavens like countless fields of stars lighting up our path promised to a future filled with hope…

Un jour à Paris
- France, chère France.
- France, terre de liberté et d’expression.
- Paris, capitale de l’amour et de notre liberté chérie.
- Oh ! Toi Paris, ce Vendredi Noir enlaidi et meurtri…
- Paris, capitale des Artistes ; Chagall, Picasso, Manet, Pissaro, Cézanne, Sysley, Van gogh, Fromentin, Chasseriau, Rodin, Ingres, Matisse, Léger, Balthus, Balzac, Hugo, Zola, Proust…
- Toi, oh ! Capitale des arts et des lettres.
- Toi, belle demoiselle au goût raffiné ta robe blanche immaculée, rougie et frappée par la fureur monstrueuse.
- Non, France, la belle insoumise, fière de ses valeurs porteuses d’espoir et de liberté…
- La bête monstrueuse au dessein noir ne triomphera pas.
- Toi la belle outragée, malmenée, tu souriras, face à la bête hideuse.
- Les âmes emportées des innocents frappés en plein cœur brilleront au firmament.
- Toi, avec ton armée des ombres, tu ne nous assouviras pas. Les hommes et les femmes aux esprits épris de liberté ne te laisseront pas faire.
- La barbarie et la sauvagerie ne vaincront pas.
- Les esprits aveuglés, de rage, de sang, et de fureur ne verront pas la lumière, promis aux froides noirceurs des ténèbres.
- Les âmes douces meurtries iront illuminer les cieux tels d’innombrables champs d’étoiles éclairant notre chemin promis à un avenir rempli d’espoir…
