A long time ago I downloaded lots of French songs into my iPod. I cannot remember where I got them from or why I chose them but this song just popped into my head. It's rather catchy but I never knew the background behind it..
In 2000, Solidarité SIDA (AIDS) obtained approval from the National Ministries of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Education. The action of youth prevention intensified. In addition, the album and the single Solidays "Qui Sait?" ("Who knows?") (featuring Anggun, Patrick Bruel, Stephan Eicher, Faudel, Peter Gabriel, Lââm, Lokua Kanza, Youssou N'Dour, Nourith, Axelle Red and Zucchero) sold 140,000 copies.
Solidays - Qui Sait?
[Faudel]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
J'aurai peut-être un jour besoin de ça
D'une main douce et puissante.
[Anggun]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
D'un chemin plus sûr où poser mes pas
Pour une guerre non violente.
[Stéphan Eicher]
Tout seul
J'n'irai pas plus haut, peut-être plus bas
Peut-être plus bas ?
[Patrick Bruel]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
J'aurai san doute un jour besoin de toi, de toi
Si je ne suis plus le même.
[Axelle Red]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
On se dit toujours "qui vivra verra", et moi
J'aimerais voir comme on s'aime.
[Lokua Kanza & Youssou N'Dour]
Apprends-moi
Que donner c'est recevoir en plus fort
Si je me fais attendre.
[Zucchero & Peter Gabriel]
Rappelle-moi
Que toutes les vies se valent encore
Les petites et les grandes.
[Patrick Bruel & Lààm]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
J'aurai peut-être un jour besoin de secours, un jour
Où je n'aurai plus personne.
[Axelle Red & Faudel]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
Une douce phrase dans un matin sourd, qui court
Un petit feu pour les hommes.
[Peter Gabriel]
Who knows, one day ?
I will need your smile to call in my name, my baby
If I can't see any rainbow.
[Patrick Bruel, Anggun & Lààm]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
L'aube d'un regard qui ne juge pas, non pas
Mais qui partage les peines ?
[Nourith & Lokua Kanza]
Apprends-moi
Que donner c'est recevoir du soleil
Sans qu'on ne le demande.
[Zucchero & Patrick Bruel]
Rappelle-moi
Que toutes les vies se valent pareil
Les petites et les grandes.
[Youssou N'Dour]....
[Anggun]....
[Faudel]....
[Nourith]....
[Axelle Red] Qui sait ?
[Stéphan Eicher]
Oh, qui sait ? Qui sait ?
J'aurai peut-être un jour besoin de ça.
[Anggun]
Oh, qui sait ? Qui sait ?
J'aurai peut-être un jour besoin de ça.
[Peter Gabriel - anglais]
Who knows, one day ?
I'll need to know you'll always be there.
[Zucchero - italien]
Chissà ? Chissà ?
Un dia io vo bisogno di te.
(Qui sait? Qui sait?
Un jour j'ai besoin de toi)
[Patrick Bruel]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
Un chemin plus sûr où poser mes pas.
[Lààm]
Qui sait ? Qui sait ?
Qui sait ce qu'on sera ?
[Peter Gabriel]
Who knows, who knows ?
(Qui sait, qui sait ce qu'on sera...)
English Translation
[Faudel]
Who knows? Who knows?
I may need it one day
From a soft and powerful hand
[Anggun]
Who knows? Who knows?
From a safer path where to place my steps
For a non-violent war.
[Stephan Eicher]
All alone
I will not go higher, maybe lower
Maybe lower?
[Patrick Bruel]
Who knows? Who knows?
I may no doubt need you one day, you
If I am no longer the same.
[Axelle Red]
Who knows? Who knows?
We always say, "Wait and see", and I
I would like to see as we love.
[Lokua Kanza & Youssou N'Dour]
Teach me
That giving is receiving stronger
If I wait.
[Zucchero & Peter Gabriel]
Remind me
That all lives are worth more
Small and large.
[Patrick Bruel & LAAM]
Who knows? Who knows?
I may need help one day, one day
I will no longer need anyone.
[Axelle Red & Faudel]
Who knows? Who knows?
A soft word in a deaf morning, which runs
A small flame for men.
[Peter Gabriel]
Who knows, one day?
I will need to call your smile in my name, my baby
If I can not see any rainbow.
[Patrick Bruel, Anggun & LAAM]
Who knows? Who knows?
The dawn of a look that does not judge, no
But who shares the pain?
[Nourith & Lokua Kanza]
Teach me
That giving is receiving from the sun
Without being asked to do so.

That all lives are worth the same
Small and large.
