Jamais à genoux [English translation]

In real life, time speeds by

I see life passing by

We fall down, we get back up

My friends, don't have any regrets

I was among the wolves

And I thought of her

Victories, defeats

Oh, If you only knew

I've roamed all over the place,

My shoes covered in mud

They were cold-hearted

I could have died

Surrounded by flames

And they hurt me,

Those who spoke ill of me,

But they made me

Stronger than before

They wanted me to give up,

But they're crazy

My mother made a man out of me

The world is ours

They wanted me to give up,

I'm still standing

My mother made a man our of me,

Never on my knees

I see them, I see them, I see them,

All those faraway looks

I see them pointing their fingers at me

I need, I need, I need

Only the strength of my people

They hurt me,

Those who spoke ill of me,

But they made me

Stronger than before

They wanted me to give up,

But they're crazy

My mother made a man out of me

The world is ours

They wanted me to give up,

I'm still standing

My mother made a man our of me,

Never on my knees

I'm far from being a hero,

I have many difficulties, many flaws

I'm only a man, a man

I can live on love and water,

But I say no to bread and castles

A man, I'm only a man

They wanted me to give up,

But they're crazy

My mother made a man out of me

The world is ours

They wanted me to give up,

I'm still standing

My mother made a man our of me,

Never on my knees

I'm only a man,

Only a man

I'm only a man,

Only a man

Never on my knees
