Grr. Having real trouble finding the words to 'La Cour des Grands', duet by Axelle Red and Youssou N'Dour, the official song of the 1998 world cup. Can anyone help?

Quatre années ont passé
Mais dans les regards
Je peux voir
Cette soif de victoire
Le stade est bondé
Supporters surexcités
Tous ces pays représentés
C'est magique et pour nous
C'est beau de voir tout ce monde qui joue allez allez ...

{Refrain:}
A toi de faire rêver
A ton tour de jouer
A ton tour de marquer
A ton tour de gagner

L'émotion et la passion
Au service du ballon rond
C'est la cour des grands
C'est un rêve pour moi
C'est beau de voir un monde qui joue allez allez ...

{au Refrain}

En un tour de main
Du monde de demain
Il t'appartient
De faire un monde bien
C'est beau de voir un monde qui joue allez allez ...

{au Refrain}

Yes, he is. And we all worship him :)

You know, just once, I'd like to have a pair of acquaintances that don't know each other in some obscure way. Is that really too much to ask. ;)

*grin* That's me. And it wasn't so hard, really - about five minutes' Googling and O-level French :) I think I'm just naturally gifted at research.

On yer knees, then! ;)

I'm afraid that apparently I know Absolutely Everyone, so I'm rather out of the running.

*nod* I seemed to keep getting reviews of the song or artist biographies rather than the actual lyrics. Didn't help that at first I didn't know the correct song title either :)

In the biblical sense?

ISTR the actual search string was '"Axelle Red' cour lyrics', which delivered a reasonable list, and I think I actually found them after quick-translating ten or so sites.

Sheesh, I'm not omnipotent! ;)
