Default Un jour de plus au Paradis

I've enjoyed several of the songs from recent Les Enfoires shows and I try to find translations of those songs when I get the chance. Un jour de plus au Paradis is one of those songs. I've found the French lyrics, but could not find the English lyrics and Google translate doesn't quite do the job. Can someone possibly translate the lines I have questions about which I've identified by placing question marks after them.

elle appelle / she calls
et personne ne m'entends / and nobody can hear her

saisir un regard / take a look
elle implore / she implores
au milieu des passants / among the passers
la nuit tombe, il est si tard / night falls, it's so late
just un toit / just a roof
just un sourire / just a smile
mais elle encombre, elle derange / but she clutters, she bothers ?????
une adresse qui pourra la lui dire / an address that will tell the ?????
mais on traverse en silence / but in silence through
aujord hui / on the day of today
c'est juste en jour de plus pour vous et nous /
It's just another day for you and me
au paradis / in paradise
aujord hui / on the day of today
c'est juste en jour de plus pour vous / It's just another day for you
vous et nous au paradis / you and me in paradise
juste en jour de plus / just another day
elle appelle / she calls
et personne ne l'entend / and nobody hears her
ses pieds ne la portent / his feet are the most
froid et larmes sont les freres de sang /
cold and tears are blood brothers ??
Des habitants de nos rues / of the inhabitants of our streets ????

Aujourd'hui, c'est juste en jour de plus pour vous et nous au paradis
Aujourd'hui, cest juste un jour de plus pour vous, vous et nous au paradis

Juste un jour de plus
Juste un jour de plus

Oh Là-Haut / ????????
Y aura-t-il des réponses à nos prières? / Will he answer our prayers
Oh Si Haut / ????????
Dites-nous ce que l'on doit faire / Tell us what we should do

On peut lire à ses rides, à ses mains / You can read his wrinkles, his hands ??
Ses défaites et ses départs / His defeats and departures ???
Pour un autre port, une ville, un demain / To another port, a city, a tomorrow
Mais elle n'est plus de nul part / But it is nowhere more ???

Aujourd'hui, c'est juste en jour de plus pour vous et nous au paradis
Aujourd'hui, cest juste un jour de plus pour vous, vous et nous au paradis
Juste un jour de plus

c'est juste en jour de plus pour vous et nous au paradis (ad lib)

They sang a French translation of an English song by Phil Collins - Another Day in Paradise. Great song. One of my favorites.



Wouldn't it be great if she sang it in one of her concerts. It would be a GREAT song for her (for several reasons).

Here is the French version with the French subtitles It's different than the original Phil Collins version and I haven't been able to find a good translation of the French version and that's what I'm attempting to do with this thread.
