Kif'n'dir [English translation]

I contemplate planes by the window

I'm behind bar, I who wants to evade

I've never wanted to submit

To those misguided ideas

I want to be able to see other days being born

Maybe the lines of my hand will tell me

I must follow the searchlight, because my soul is [my] master

But I'm afraid to touch the end just a few metres away

And I don't want to leave

Even if there is nothing that holds me back

I don't want to suffer

I have taken a one-way charter

Not to come back anymore

I wear this mask so that I don't resemble the others

As a failed boy, a girl unlike the others

I wait for the worst and I endure

I'm fed up with pretending that I am strong

So I play dead, so as not to die

I need to get out to close this Algerian chapter

[And] if there is dust upon this theme

Know that I love you never the less.

Don't cry, Algeria, I no longer sleep

Don't cry, Algeria, I no longer sleep

Don't cry, Algeria, I no longer sleep

Don't cry, Algeria, I no longer sleep
