Pas comme les hommes qui les torture
Et tuer ces meilleures creations de dieux
Tuer pour la nourriture et le plus decevant pour le sport
mais pas tout le monde. Il y a de l'espoir

Not like the men who torture it [plants and animals]
And kill this best of God's creation
Kill for food and most despairingly for sport
but not the whole world, there is hope

Parce que certains humains sont vegetaliens
ils et elles aimer les animaux cherement
nous aimons nos chiens et chats et perroquets et ours
mais surtout nous nous aimons parmi toute la creation

they [men and women] love animals dearly
we love our dogs and cats and parrots and bears
but above all, we love ourselves among all the creation

I was thinking about my father and how often we'd like to "Go Back" in time, especially when as we grow, we find relationships with loved ones strained.
