This song was and kinda still is popular here. I might have made some mistakes translating it but I hope I got it right. Tried to do it as similar to the original as possible and this is what came out of it:

Original lang: french
Group: Cowboys fringants

<Chorus>
I have only a few minutes left to live,
At most a few hours, I feel myself weakening,
My brother yesterday died in the middle of the desert,
I am now the last human on earth.

I have been told when I was just a kid,
What the world was like a long long time ago,
When still lived the parents on my great-grandfather,
When snow still fell in winter,
In those days we still lived one season at a time,
And at the end of summer came the harvest,
A pure water flowed down streams,
Where dears and mooses would come and drink,

But all I've seen is a desolating planet,
Where the air and temperature are suffocating,
And all my friends dying from thirst or hunger,
Like falling flies untill there is left nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing,


<Chorus>
I have only a few minutes left to live,
At most a few hours, I feel myself weakening,
My brother yesterday died in the middle of the desert,
I am now the last human on earth.

All of this started many years ago,
When my ancestors were on their knees,
For pieces of paper called money,
That made some men very rich and powerfull,
These new gods, never looking back,
Would do anything to get to their means,
To get even richer they shaved the world (trees),
Polluted the air and intoxicated the rivers,
And after 100 years some poeple stood up,
And warned them they had to stop everything,
But they did not understand that wise prophecy,
Those men only understood when it came to profits,

(Louder voice and music)
It was only years after that they opened their eyes,
When the emergency state was declared and panic started,
When all the oceans swallowed the islands,
And the big cities were hit by floods,
And for a whole decade after that,
We had to fight hurricanes and fires,
Earthquakes and the great drought,
On every face distress could be seen,
The people had to fight the pandemias,
Decimated by millions from atrocious diseases,
And the others died from thirst or hunger,
Like falling flies untill there is left nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing,

(Back to normal voice and music)

<Chorus>
My brother yesterday died in the middle of the desert,
I am now the last human on earth,
In the end, the inteligence we were given,
Proved to be nothing but a poisonnous gift,
Because I have only a few minutes left to live,
At most a few hours, I feel myself weakening,
I can't walk anymore and am having trouble breathing,
Farewell humanity, farewell humanity...

If you understood french fluently you'd love the song. It's a band type song, can be remade/remodelled with new lyrics and such if someone wanted to use the idea.

Point is this subject afftecs us all, even the smart-asses. right duck?

I wasn't aware that Necrowarrior had made a new account?

I did not give him permission to circumvent his ban in this manner. So no, this wasn't 'allowed'.

Please PM me with details.

I'll have to take your word that it afftecs us all, cause I'm certainly not reading something that long by yet another banned person. It's probably just another whining post.
