Debout [English translation]

Standing in the schoolyard

when we grow up among the wolves

I never bowed the neck

and my brow never touched the ground

If i dismissed in my life

all those at attention loosers

Oh, i fought for my beliefs

but nobody saw me on my knees

Oh, standing,

i have always lived

standing

despite insults

and blows

not always understanding everything i admit,

but i have always lived standing

And i will keep on doing it

standing

Of course i loved the Love

I freed it from its cage

and i gained suffering and bravery

Yes, i loved like a madman

and each time, a bit more

my heart stands up and i forget everything

i only have the right to be alive

and before anything else being a man

Oh, standing,

i have always lived

standing

despite insults

and blows

not always understanding everything i admit,

but i have always lived standing

And i will keep on doing it

standing

Standing in the schoolyard

I grew up among the wolves

I kept some scars on my neck

even if it makes me smile today

when there is nothing more to prove

It doesn't matter who stays behind

Just one personn loved me

and that's for her that i kept on

Yes standing

Standing

Yeah, standing,

i have always lived

standing

despite insults

and blows

not always understanding everything i admit,

but i have always lived standing

And i will keep on doing it

yes standing

yes standing

not always understanding everything i admit,

but i have always lived standing

And i will keep on doing it

yes standing

i will keep on

until the end

yes, standing

standing

standing
