Europa
Globus (Immediate Music - Epicon) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Poiters and then Anjou
The Roses War, The Hundred Years
Through battlefields of blood and tears
From Bosworth Field, to Pointe du Hoc
Stalingrad and the Siege of York
The bloody turf of Gallipoli had no effect on the killing spree
Banocburn to Austerlitz
The Fall of France, and
The German Blitz
The cruelest of atrocities
Europa's blood is born of thee
Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love
Heaven help us
Bolsheviks and feudal lords
Chivalry to civil wars
Fascist rule and genocide
Now we face the rising tide
Of new crusades, religious wars
Insurgents imported to our shores
The Western World gripped in fear
The mother of all here
Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love
Heaven help us

"Avant hier, avons être
Déja demain, (nous) sommes éclairée"
You need to understand French proverbs and manner of speaking to understand this expression. No point directly translating it. The phrase is referring to the past eras. If you are familiar with the whole song, you will know the theme is about the history of Europe - basically the idea of this phrase is to suggest that previously Europe was in a darkness or ignorance but then afterwards became enlightened and moved away from its problems.
AVANT HIER, AVANT ETRE - This means "before yesterday", i.e in the past, and "before we were" or before we became something, before our establishment etc
DEJA DEMAIN, NOUS SOMME ECLAIRE - This is saying "Since yesterday", again speaking of the past but referring to more recently, "nous somme éclaire", - "we were enlightened".
Before yesterday refers to the day/era before the enlightenment
Since yesterday refers to the day/era they became enlightened
If using the days of the week - Sunday being the current day
Friday would be be BEFORE YESTERDAY
Saturday would be YESTERDAY
It's a very poetic way of saying "we were once nothing but now we have become something" i.e - enlightened. Whoever coined that expression was very passionate about the subject matter or they would never worded it in that fashion.
Not mine translation. Found it years ago ?from Quora?
