Made In [English translation]
Made In [English translation]
(Intro - Brav')
We're all from somewhere, we're all from somewhere...
We're all from somewhere, we're all from somewhere...
(Verse 1 - Médine)
Just like the bridge built on both sides of the river,
I only belong to the one who can take my life from me
Oh, De Lally, the good adventure, an hymn to life
I'm as free as a Palestinian on the beaches of Tel-Aviv
Only God is wise, no matter if I'm from there or Harlem
I travel the world on a Harley, wearing a djellaba
Don't try to figure out where I'm from, but where I'm going
I'm a bit from Oujda, as well as a bit from Ouzbekistan
I'm, I'm, I'm more British than Elizabeth
When I wear the Manchester United colors
I pay in dinar in the Scandinavian countries
I interrupt my fasting day with a 110 bahts lemonade
We deserve much better than a single meridian
I wear a Yankee cap on a Native American hairdo
I'm a hybrid of origins piling up on top of each other
I get richer when I mix in with others, just like sampling
(Chorus - J-Mi Sissoko)
I was made from History,
Between defeats and victory
And this earth we thread upon
The looks I was given made me suffer,
But I managed to make it through in the dark
Yes, I'm proud to be 'Made in'
'Cause the world is in us...
'Cause the world is un us...
(Verse 2 - Médine)
We shock entire civilizations,
We hum Peace be upon you to Samuel Huntington
I travel lightly with a low-cost company
Just one more piece that will
Probably go along with our causes
I'm merely a temporary resident,
Only for the Frontier Police people stamping visas
Let all the customs officials stare at me
Médine is merchandise, 'Made in everywhere'
Made in Venice, I'm from a Ventiane village
Made in Venezuela, via the depths au Vietnam
A single identity, that's what we reduce ourselves to
I'm the beard hair in the soup
That feeds Éric Besson's polemics
In this world, I love its nature, its cities - I admire it
From where you can see civil engineering's bald spot
Made in Scotland, a William Wallace mentality
Let them dismember me and spread me across humanity
(Refrain - J-Mi Sissoko)
(Verse 3 - Brav')
Beyond those rules that define the norms,
Beyond those borders that men traced
The laws are not the ones dictacting what we are,
Refuse those orders telling you to be like the image you're given - The world is in you
The world is in you
The world is in you
The world is in you
(Refrain - J-Mi Sissoko)
(Outro - J-Mi Sissoko)
I'm proud to be 'Made in'...
I'm proud to be 'Made in'...
I'm proud to be 'Made in'...
I'm so proud...
I'm so proud...
I'm so proud...
