Absolem [English translation]

I think that in my head

It has been night for days

I'm sitting by the window

Heaven is crying, it's raining in my cheeks

When you're not here anymore, time stops

Yet the hands on the clock are still turning

It will come back tomorrow maybe

Finally if tomorrow wants to turn around

It's raining in my dreams

I'm tired but I can't rest

Do we get tanned or burnt in the sun?

It all goes off in smoke, Absolem 1

So much blood in so small veins

You did a good job with ripping off my wings

I can hear Amy and Kurt Cobain from here

It all goes off in smoke

I have not been able to read his letters again

The anxiety of emptiness without a doubt

Nothing gives meaning to the festival

I had to lose my sense of humour

Finally, the beauty only finds the beast

More humanity than the others around

There are silent ones that say " I love you"

And "I love you"s that cry: "Help, help"

It's raining in my dreams

I'm tired but I can't rest

Do we get tanned or burnt in the sun?

It all goes off in smoke

So much blood in so small veins

You did a good job with ripping off my wings

I can hear Amy and Kurt Cobain from here

It all goes off in smoke

I'm your doubts, your rage, your anxieities, your fears

I'm your doubts, your rage, your anxieities, your fears

I'm your doubts, your rage, your anxieities, your fears

And I talk about your flaws, you won't be able to silence me

Listen, partying, bad thoughts, depression

Bad image, face of a primate, drop in ratings, regression

Fancy evening, vodka fountain, arrogant diva, disguise

Life of a star, life of an untouchable being, police station, sobering up

Paranoia, foggy love, the cowardly guys, habits

Luxury and fortune, scared of the dark, nuit of torture, loneliness

Totally drunk from showbiz, beauty products, totally overrated, imposture

Woman in clean cities, fake voice, autotune

Paparazzi, Barbie doll that gets undressed, obsession

Body of a mistress, heart in distress, little negresse, oppression

Undecided heart, on the cover of the yellow press, anorexia, weight loss

Evenings full of dancing, waiting for a break, longing for a child, hopelessness

You're in some deep shit when I think about it, you're in some deep shit

They tell you you're so beautiful to avoid telling you're so stupid

Woman of colour, woman of sorrow tries see more clearly without success

Your life is quite red like the red blood like Drucker's coach

So much shit covered in rhinestones, one day you'll be dancing with the stars

One day you dance, one day your flame will go out, one day they will dance on your skull

God damn, Tamara, you're hiding it from your friends

The anxieties that make you sick, and I know your masquerade

Tamara, how do you want to find rest? So many bad feelings

how do you want to find rest? So many bad feelings, so many bad feelings, so many bad feelings

I wash away your doubts, your fears, I'm your ego, your hopes

I wash away your doubts, your fears, I'm your ego, your hopes

I wash away your doubts, your fears, I'm your ego, your hopes

I know you better than anybody, I've seen what other were not able to see

Weight of success, very little scandals, never sucked a dick for money

So many wounds that upset you, stayed for 12 years, made some hit songs

Clothing brand, work to do, debt, cause, engagements because of love

Heart of cement, insane train of life, such a long way, going back and forth

Dad, mom, ultimate pride, always the same team, protection

Change now, you don't have the same stream no more, working hard despite of big pressure

Climbing a mountain peak, never sleep, certain opinion, those are the fans

Represent Martinicans, role model that women can follow

Deep down insdide, you know who you are and where you grew up

With the guitar from your father, Harry

Records that millions buy

Are you aware of what you have done?

All those god damn years that you lost

All those years that you worked hard

The sacrifices that you had to make

You know you're part of the great people, you represent a real message

In Normandy, you're Martinican, you've embodied the blending of cultures

You make people who don't even know one another sing in unison

You made the hearts of children in hundreds of hospital beds shake

This pressure that noone except for you can bear apparently

Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you're still young, of course you will be a mother

The fears hurt and dissappear, you know, just like bruises

Except for you who sold 300,000 units with her first album

Tell me, Tamara, your hopes will make you touch the sun

Honey, your hopes will make you touch the sun

Oh yes, your hopes will make you touch the sun

Light of dawn, hope in your black eyes Tamara
