I drew in history my blue destiny in seas
My name still forever unforgettable
All the seagulls of ports remembers me
My rope of Iron Swimmer will not be thrown
My rope will still forever an oath of generations
Era of reverse roles ! And what drole Era
The tug became towed
Kids, women, men, Camels, Olives are witnesses
On boats and ships they are rewarded
As symbols of Earth of Peace they are invited
By a swimmer of peace they are towed
Era of reverse roles ! And what drole era
The tug became towed
An awareness to extinguish wars
A call to set together all our pinions
In the right direction it should be rotated
Think life and avenir of our children
Era of reverse roles ! And what drole era
The tug became towed
I feels souffrance wave by wave
Inertia of ship
Inertia to advance humanity
I resist and I continue my water route
My rope around my waist
My umbilical cordon of hope
This is why I win
Era of reverse roles. And what drole era
The tug became towed
