à la mélanie [English translation]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

My past weights on my eyes and my mistakes appear in my future.

It's so unusual when I do good, maybe deep down I like the terror better?

When I smile I feel culprit because I remember the wrong I did.

I don't know if I deserve everything the skies sent me those last years

Because I hurt so many people not so long ago……

I won't go to Heaven if I die in shame, I won't have any luggage like Lufthansa

I'm only good at spreading the world but I always end up doing wrong

What if the messenger is way more important than the message itself? I think I already have the answer,

Like all the other answers I have in my head and in my book,

That one making me feel free, that one making me feel free

That one making me feel free, that one making me feel free

There are too many people loving me and I never asked for it, I never thought I could regret my past life

When I didn't have to worry about my parents' safeness but now

Everything I do, I do it to leave this land I grew up on, because there are too many gossips.

I argue with people I love most until they don't love me anymore, until they don't love me anymore

There are too many stars in the sky and I wanna hold them all

My grandma is so proud of me, and that's my biggest pride

But sometimes I look up at the skies and wonder,

I look for my grandpa's look and close my eyes to find his endorsement

And when I open them all I can see are thousands of euros

And people starving to death meanwhile Avenue Wagram I'm have free meals

Where the little people are queueing to eat after months of privation

Only to get a little idea of luxury, only to get a little idea of life,

Only to impress their followers, only to impress their followers.

I'm only a pawn in this whole system, I wanna escape quickly

Because the more euros flow, the less I feel peaceful.

There are not enough figures on the scale for my sins to be weighed.

Everyone tells me to smile but I can only endure,

And even if I'm followed by thousands I don't have a magnificient life, no

It's been only a few months since I'm famous and I've had enough yet,

If tomorrow I hurt a woman I will find another after a few months, there's nothing to be proud about

I don't talk about the djinn no, no I don't talk about the djinn no

I don't talk about the djinn no, no I don't talk about the djinn no

And if tomorrow I get everything I wish, I won't care, I wanted the West Indies and tomorrow I'll be headed to Los Angeles.

Look at the sadness in my eyes, look at the melanin

I think I'll pack all my things and be off like Mélanie

Like Mélanie, I think I'll do it like Mélanie.

Sad tune, I guess I'll do it like Mélanie while singing a sad tune.

And maybe I didn't say it all, but maybe I did (Maybe I said it all)

Like Mélanie, go far, far away like Mélanie, to be happy like Mélanie ;

Quit France like Mélanie, fly into the skies like Mélanie ;

Live peacefully like Mélanie, turn it all off like Mélanie ;

Live my own life like Mélanie, not seeing my family like Mélanie ;

Not seeing my wife like Mélanie, nor my little children like Mélanie ;

See Africa like Mélanie, my ancestors like Mélanie ;

Live in my little village like Mélanie, far away from everything like Mélanie ;

Far away from the hate like Mélanie, far away from the hate like Mélanie ;

Far away from the war like Mélanie, alone in peace like Mélanie ;

Far away from the medias like Mélanie, far away from the social networks like Mélanie ;

Far away from the music like Mélanie, far away from the show business like Mélanie ;

Far away from the evil like Mélanie, close the Heavens like Mélanie ;

I'll be happy like Mélanie, I'll be alive like Mélanie.
