D'ici et d'ailleurs [English translation]
D'ici et d'ailleurs [English translation]
I'm from there & from over there
Between two lives
The one I'm back in outside
& The one I'm still looking for
I'm from there & from over there
Between two lives
The one of which I can see the decor
& The one that still escapes me
I need to know myself
I need to know where I come from
Holding back my words , my gestures , my rituals
That attach me to my people
Me , I feel lonely
I cling to my people's values
My parents whom I'm proud of
Who have made me half - blood & different
Take me to where my roots are
A part of myself can hardly live
I've grown up in my province
I know my district , my city by heart
You can read in my prints
All the things that trials teached me
But I miss a part of myself
That prevents me from building myself
It's a country across the sea
Going there would be like coming back
This feeling to be out of the ordinary
I'm not the only one who feels it
We are thousands , millions
That are torn between two people
In every part of the world
