La promesse [English translation]

Like a stranger with nothing to lean on, with no lead

By keeping silent I stopped wanting to speak

To the point I forgot who I had become to please you

Instead of accepting myself, I did the opposite

Is it worth the pain?

Is it worth the pain?

Spending your whole life in armour?

I promise myself, I promise myself

I promise myself to stay true to myself

I promise myself, I promise myself

To finally live when my heart beats for a man

For a man, for a man

Like an enemy

Without a sword, with no hope

On his quest for eternity, for a haven, for a glance

For a reason to believe that somewhere

That I also have a right to love without being aloof

It's not worth the pain

It's not worth the pain

Spending your whole life behind a wall

I promise myself, I promise myself

I promise myself to stay true to myself

I promise myself, I promise myself

To finally live when my heart beats for a man

For a man, for a man, for a man, for a man

Not my family, not the mutterings

Not my hand, not my looks

Nothing will ever stop me, I swear

Not the ties, not the insults

Not the punches in my face

Nothing will ever wear me down

If sometimes all that hurts us

We owe it to ourselves not stop loving each other

Being there, doing everything to sort things out

It's you I'm talking to

To our rights, to our wealth

Promise me finally that you're going to promise yourself

Promise me finally that you're going to promise yourself

I promise myself, I promise myself

I promise myself to stay true to myself
