Sans [re]pères [English translation]

the place of a father, the place of a mother, is in a family

The place of two beloved ones is to love each others during a lifetime

united by the will, by common feelings

simply gathered, ew've nothing to be afraid of

well, it's what one says, but it's not always what man sees

I asked why, i'v been answered "that's life"

may I give my opinion? should I stay out of that?

when love turn to hate and that some tear apart in front of me

that's the way it is, and that nothing different

when we are so enthusiast about the history of our torments

Time evolutes, I faced worries, I grew old

Mummy is here, but daddy is gone, and at that point, i understood...

... that you prefered turning the page

I wasn't invited to the trip, I believed you were in haven

as alcohol provokes ravages

you did not redeem yourself and without even turning back...

I saw you getting away from the shore

and I dunno if you life is shitty, haven't a faintest idea

you turned alcoolic and causes harms to your family and friends

how many times hav you upset her, how many times weren't you here?

hew many bruise on his arms, because when one loves, one doesn't count

you're gone

without letting us the time to say good bye

on the deep of my heart

you became so black

you're gone

without letting us the time to say good bye

in the deep of my heart

hope remains

oh dad, I could, I would tell you

No, don't go

I was to young to understand

I had to grow up without you

even if mum took good care of me

A lamdmark was missing, a father behind me

I closed my eyes and imagined your face

I only knew that you were black according to my crossbreeding

What makes you daddy?

the others had a laugh when i couldn't answer

the day i bumped into this wedding picture

the puzzle of my life begins to assamble

I then knew what you looked like

Impossible to explain the effect it made on me

1990, the phone rings

After the storm, the sun shines

Mummy calls me and say: "someone's wanna talk too ya!

I just heard: hello?, I got who it was

few week later, here you are in front of me

is it for real of this dream I make every time?

you stayed 8 years, then went away

you went back to motherland

you're gone

without letting us the time to say good bye

on the deep of my heart

you became so black

you're gone

without letting us the time to say good bye

in the deep of my heart

hope remains

After you left

I had to admit it

when she said to my older brother

now you're the man in the house

her, so proud, became the root of my pain

in front of us, as always, but crying in silence

I would like not to blame you, not like my heart would do

an inner resentment for just having been a genitor

for all the abandoned ones, without the presence of an old one

divorced or deceased, who just inherit you name

Oh dad, it took me 4 years to erase my grudge

We have only one father, olny one mother

I cast my pride away, I joined up with you there

tears flew down when you held me in your arms

me, I found him, other haven't been that lucky

I dedicate this song to them and share their grief

the ones victims of abandon, of a divorce or death

the ones who leave with broken heart

you're gone

without letting us the time to say good bye

in the deep of my heart
