je me barre [English translation]

I've never squatted the routine

And the lack of life that's squashed up, my backpack quickly done, here i go, I'm leaving.

I'm not going to let my life be prisoner to their's, even though I'm having a hard time here, I'm going to have a hard time else where.

Ciao Ciao educators, I'm taking off, you can call the cops, close the door, I'll come through the window, that's for sure!

I've got my liberty, which is waiting for me right infront of me

I won't keep it waiting 123, Ciao every one !

So, no time for bla bla bla, I'm always the only one to leave.

Shit, none of my mates have ever been up for it!

There, where the system cast you with sordid vibes

For me, an enclosure is made so i can try and get out of it

so, i'm taking off!

need to go and breathe some where else

Here, they want to rise up against me and make me move forward very slowly.

I need freedom to thrill in my glory

The cops on my tail, I hear them say, the little one, yeah we'll get her (yeah yeah)

Chorus (x2)

I'm taking off

Bye bye home, I'm taking off

I'm going to breathe elsewhere!

Always improving in each of my races

In the arms of freedom, a load of inspectors on my tail!

Driven by the wind, go and tell those men in uniforms loosing their composure

that they will never catch me, not even in their dreams

My nights outside, awoken by a shiver

All senses alert, even when I sleep, (I'm) connected to my intuition

I've got nothing to fear, cradled by the song of the moon

The luck (is) in my free hands, street child

Far from the world of illogical and stubborn adults

Fugitives of their enclosure, from taunting cops and security guards

Fuck! it may be stupid, but that's how it is

I insist, your laws are immoral and my delinquance has some principals

So leave me in peace, you can always wait

if you want to see me crawl, rather than with a bullet in my temple

Drunk, I'll go away where my heart takes me

I was made to live between the stitching of your net

Chorus x2

Free, that's alright, that's perfect!

Me, well I'm alright when I have nothing because to be free you gotta have nothing to loose

my freedom made the men in blue get angry

stairwells as homes, I change houses when I want,

I change town when I want, chosen as homeless

I'm strolling, eyes open, the street kid is paying a visit

Distrusting the adult like a pest

Because adults are snitches, collaborators or traitors

Believe me, from experience

under pressure because the judge is angry

Let me live, any way I'm not allowed to go to school any more

so shit, today I'm 14, I've been running away for a long time

I've got on a bit and grown wiser, I don't need any one!

Life educates me and strolling around opens my mind

The encounters teach me a lot more than their teachers.

In short it's the outside school of life, where the sky is the roof between concrete buildings and the open.
