[Intro]
Yeah…
Mes parents voulaient juste nous voir réussir…
My parents just wanted to see us succeed…
Ils nous ont amenés loin de chez nous pour nous offrir une autre vie…
They brought us far from home to offer us another life…
Mais ils savaient pas que le plus dur…
But they didn't know that the hardest part…
Ce serait pas de réussir, mais de voir les réactions de ceux qui nous entouren..
It wouldn't be to succeed, but to see the reactions of those around us…
[Couplet 1] · Verse 1
Ma famille n'avait pas tout, mes parents voulaient mieux,
My family didn't have everything, my parents wanted better,
Ils ont quitté notre terre avec un espoir dans les yeux.
They left our land with hope in their eyes.
Ils nous ont ramenés en Europe pour changer notre destin,
They brought us back to Europe to change our destiny,
Pour qu'on puisse avoir demain ce qu'ils n'avaient pas eu hier.
So that we could have tomorrow what they didn't have yesterday.
J'ai grandi dans un monde différent de celui que j'avais pas connu,
I grew up in a world different from the one I hadn't known,
Une autre langue, d'autres codes, un environnement inconnu.
Another language, other codes, an unknown environment.
J'ai dû m'adapter, aller à l'école, donner toute mon énergie,
I had to adapt, go to school, give all my energy,
J'ai travaillé sans relâche, j'ai avancé sans faire de bruit,
I worked tirelessly, I moved forward silently,
J'ai mis mes rêves en priorité, même quand le doute me suivait.
I prioritized my dreams, even when doubt followed me.
Je voulais rendre fiers les miens, leur prouver qu'on pouvait y arriver,
I wanted to make my family proud, to prove to them that we could make it,
Mais certains préféraient le passé et ne voulaient pas me voir évoluer.
But some preferred the past and didn't want to see me evolve.
[Couplet 2] · Verse 2
Y avait des membres proche Nés sur cette terre, ils connaissaient déjà cette vie.
There were close relatives born on this earth, they already knew this life.
Mais quand ils ont vu mes efforts, quand ils ont vu mon évolution,
But when they saw my efforts, when they saw my evolution,
J'ai senti que ma réussite dérangeait dans leur vision.
I felt that my success bothered their vision.
Ils voulaient me voir comme avant, comme celui qu'ils avaient connu au bled, sans savoir où j'aurais abouti.
They wanted to see me as before, as the one they knew in the homeland, without knowing where I would end up.
Ils m'imaginaient à ma place, sans jamais me voir plus haut,
They imagined me in my place, never seeing me higher,
Mais j'ai construit mon avenir pendant qu'ils parlaient dans mon dos.
But I built my future while they talked behind my back.
Ils m'ont sous-estimé, ils ont jugé mon parcours,
They underestimated me, they judged my journey,
Sans connaître mes sacrifices, sans connaître mes détours.
Without knowing my sacrifices, without knowing my detours.
Ils n'ont pas vu les efforts, ni les combats que j'ai menés,
They didn't see the efforts, nor the battles I fought,
Ils voulaient me garder en bas, mais j'ai continué d'avancer.
They wanted to keep me down, but I kept moving forward.
[Refrain] · Chorus
Pour eux, je devais rester celui qu'ils avaient connu,
For them, I had to remain the person they had known,
Ils ne voyaient pas mes efforts, ni le chemin parcouru.
They didn't see my efforts, nor the path I had traveled.
Mais moi, j'avais un rêve, je ne voulais pas reculer,
But I had a dream, I didn't want to back down,
Même avec leurs paroles, personne ne pouvait m'arrêter.
Even with their words, no one could stop me.
Ils voulaient me voir pareil, ils voulaient me voir en bas,
They wanted to see me the same, they wanted to see me down,
Mais j'ai changé mon destin, je n'ai pas suivi leurs pas.
But I changed my destiny, I didn't follow their steps.
Aujourd'hui, j'ai accompli ce qu'ils pensaient impossible,
Today, I have accomplished what they thought impossible,
J'ai transformé mes épreuves en une force indestructible.
I transformed my trials into an indestructible force.
[Couplet 3] · Verse 3
J'ai terminé mes études, j'ai avancé en évitant les problème,
I finished my studies, I moved forward avoiding problems,
J'ai travaillé pour ma vie, j'ai construit ce que je deviens.
I worked for my life, I built what I am becoming.
Ceux qui connaissaient mon passé ont vu le changement,
Those who knew my past saw the change,
Ils ont vu que le petit d'avant était devenu différent.
They saw that the little one from before had become different.
Et depuis que j'ai réussi, j'
And since I succeeded, I
Lines explained
“Ce serait pas de réussir, mais de voir les réactions de ceux qui nous entouren..”
It wouldn't be to succeed, but to see the reactions of those around us…
This line sets up the central conflict of the song: the protagonist's success is not the main challenge, but rather the negative reactions of some people around them.
“Ils voulaient me voir comme avant, comme celui qu'ils avaient connu au bled, sans savoir où j'aurais abouti.”
They wanted to see me as before, as the one they knew in the homeland, without knowing where I would end up.
The term "bled" is a colloquial French-Arabic word often used to refer to one's home country or village, particularly in North Africa. Here, it signifies the protagonist's place of origin and the past identity some relatives wanted them to maintain.
“J'ai transformé mes épreuves en une force indestructible.”
I transformed my trials into an indestructible force.
This line powerfully summarizes the protagonist's journey, highlighting their resilience and ability to turn challenges into personal strength.
