Versus
Tonight, my sister needed to confide in me,
Sorry in advance if it hurt you,
After the storm, the sky is cleared
There, I need to tell myself
How to tell you my brother, that deep down I knew it,
We tell each other everything tonight, but me, I observed you
We met each other for the first time some years ago,
I never told you that day, [that] you had touched* me
Who would have believed that one day, I would tell you everything?
You gotta know that I, I am at your feet,
That I thank the sky for having put you on my path
It was written, it was sure, it was destiny...
You had picked up the words from my heart, refined my song
Anyone else would have done it, I would have lowered the sound
I was in my car, I was told to listen
To the first notes, I never said it to you [but] my tears flowed
I too have so much to confide in you,
People only see of me that what I want to show them
No one knows it, but in my life, I am so disappointed
Perhaps in another life, I will truly live with it
I am the type to hide myself,
When things go badly, I can break everything
The Almighty never let me go,
Why do I fear spoiling everything
Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack
Life slapped me
Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?
I never trusted myself
I evolved in a life of doubts,
And in the courtyard, I heard them all besmirch me
Don't give a damn about their game
They dream of glory when me, at night, I dream of turning off the screen...
I had way too many all-nighters, I know that you see them,
I have red eyes soaked in blood when things go badly,
When I'm asked, I take the picture, the Salem [witch trials] of my friend
But fundamentally, I am so bad in my [own] skin
Today, the night is my wife, my kid and my mother
If you only knew all the times I ended up on the floor
I drank everything, I took everything, I saw everything, I said nothing
I screamed, I cried, at love, at life
I am the type to hide myself,
When things go badly, I can break everything
The Almighty never let me go,
Why do I fear spoiling everything
Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack
Life slapped me
Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?
If you knew how in my head, it explodes,
How my heart beats quickly when I lose control
How many times I wanted to stop everything
To screw it all up, to restart it all...
So many people who think that I'm saying it myself
If you knew what I tell him five times a day
I would finish by leaving like Melanie
She is at peace, if only you knew how I envy her...
I am the type to hide myself,
When things go badly, I can break everything
The Almighty never let me go,
Why do I fear spoiling everything
Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack
Life slapped me
Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?
