Ma chance [English translation]

I used to be nothing but the one who's been left behind

Just like you, I didn't have a childhood

Altogether, I was nothing more than some dreaming

Just like you, I was waiting for my chance

I told myself

If I sing about hope, who will listen?

I told myself

There's no place for me, everything is hopeless here

but,

every night, in the dark, I cried out to the sky

and I prayed, houhou houhouhou

(I want to hear you say)

because one day, I'll find my luck

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than the obvious

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing ever is lost, no game is played before it starts

(I want to hear you say)

Everyone has their time

And like you, I was waiting for mine

Like you, I didn't know,

that, from the bottom of my heart,

I would ever say:

When there's no hope left, still anything could happen

I would say

There's a place for you, even when everything seems hopeless

And often, when we don't expect anything, with time

the winds will turn

(I want to hear you say)

because one day, I'll find my luck

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than the obvious

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing ever is lost, no game is played before it starts

(I want to hear you say)

Even if we were wrong,

We still had the courage to challenge fate

I don't want to live in regret

I want to keep dreaming to the fullest

(I want to hear you say)

because one day, I'll find my luck

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than the obvious

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing ever is lost, no game is played before it starts

(I want to hear you say)
