Aurelie [English translation]

Aurelie is only sixteen and she's expecting a child

Her friends and parents recommend abortion

She doesn't agree, she sees things differently

She says she's ready to be called 'Mommy'

This one is for every Aurelie, all those who gave birth, for every Aurelie

Oh, mother at any cost!

She's in second grade in a suburban high school

Recently she's been seeing a guy from her neighborhood

He's how she likes them, meaning a little older

He looks like he's in love, they have everything to be happy

She had never done it before, she was waiting for the right guy

So now she tells herself 'That's it', they're alone in the Twingo

It's gonna swing, she takes off her tanga and scores an ace just like Tsonga1

Yes but here we are, nine months later

He can't deal with it and runs away, like a bastard

She found out that he rather likes to party, actually

And so here she is, alone in this saga

Chorus: Colone Reyel - Aurelie

I can tell you, all her life she'll remember

She'll remember the day she told

Told her mom and dad

Told them that she was three months pregnant

She wasn't expecting to jump up with excitement

But she still hoped they'd show some good faith

It wasn't the case, that's the least we can say

And the hard times began

Chorus: Colonel Reyel - Aurelie

She had to build a home very quickly

To assume her responsabilities for the rent

To quickly find a job to pay it, whatever the cost

She tried everything

Like they say in the neighborhood, she made huge sacrifices

To find someone who could help her

But when you're not as VIP as Mathilde Seigner

You can't give up, that's what it taught her

We've all known a girl in Aurelie's situation

Someone for whom pregnancy is synonym for trespassing

Rejected by her friends, but mostly by her family

Who doesn't accept her will to give birth

Here's what I'd say if I was asked for my opinion

Bringing a child into this world shouldn't be punished

It's the most beautiful thing that could ever be

And if you deny this

It don't know anything about life
