Ma chance [English translation]

I wasn't anyone but she who was abandoned,

Like you, I didn't have a childhood

I wasn't anything but essentially a little dream,

Like you, I waited for my chance.

I told myself,

If I sing hope, who will want to listen to me?

I told myself,

There is no place for me, here everything is sombre,

But,

Every night, in the black, imploring the sky

I prayed, houhou houhouhou

(I want to hear you say)

Because one day, I'll find my chance,

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than evidence,

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever preordained

(I want to hear you say)

To each their hour,

Like you, I waited for my turn.

Until the deepest depth of my heart,

Like you, I ignored that one day,

I would tell myself,

When you have no more hope everything can still come,

I would tell myself,

There is a place for you, even when everything is sombre

It's, often, when we don't expect anything, time, that turns the winds around.

(I want to hear you say)

Because one day, I'll find my chance,

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than evidence,

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever preordained

(I want to hear you say)

That if we are wrong,

We should dare to defy fate.

I don't want a life of remorses

I want to dream at a high price,

(I want to hear you say)

Because one day, I'll find my chance,

(I want to hear you say)

More than a sign, better than evidence,

(I want to hear you say)

And nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever preordained

I want to hear you say
