j'avais pas les mots [English translation]

Verse 1

Since I drag down the evening at home I hear Mom crying

In this rat hole, we do not want me, I see teachers laugh

Building A, police station, I don't even know where to go

When it's not alright, no cash, impossible to escape

No diploma, some credits and I hear them

Olympia, Bercy, Dôme*, and I find myself dreaming

Flashing lights, siren sounds, and I am a light sleeper

Champagne bottle, silicone: we have to let it go

[Chorus:]

Alone in the bottom of the class, I dreamed to escape

But I had no words I had, I had no words

I should have taken her in my arms, tell him she mattered to me

But I had no words, I had, I had no words

"Mom I love you, and dad it's the same," I never knew how to say because

I had no words, I had, I had no words

Younger I could not find the words to tell them my story

I had no words I had, I had no words

[Verse 2:]

When the doors close, I smoke weed and I let people talk

I fall down, I go back in the saddle, I see my life spread

First, second, How many times I stalled? *

Warn my father, tell my mother, I'm in for some years*

Insurance, logbook, from morning to evening controlled

No holidays, a little booze, neighborhood, I'll spent my summer in the neighborhood

Manigances, merchandise, influence no matter what what we say

Upwind the one that we aims will become great, no matter what they say

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

Misunderstood in my corner, nobody to talk to

"Over time you will not go far" the counselor told me

Dad, stop moan, mom, let your broom

Too many years have passed, you never found the time to talk

Often absent, you worked too much, she neither had words

"When you'll grow up," his words often tangled in my brain

I had no words I had, I had no words

Holed up in my silence, bro, I had no words
