Versus [English translation]

Tonight, my sister needed to confide in me,

Sorry in advance if it hurt you,

After the storm, the sky is cleared

There, I need to tell myself

How to tell you my brother, that deep down I knew it,

We tell each other everything tonight, but me, I observed you

We met each other for the first time some years ago,

I never told you that day, [that] you had touched* me

Who would have believed that one day, I would tell you everything?

You gotta know that I, I am at your feet,

That I thank the sky for having put you on my path

It was written, it was sure, it was destiny...

You had picked up the words from my heart, refined my song

Anyone else would have done it, I would have lowered the sound

I was in my car, I was told to listen

To the first notes, I never said it to you [but] my tears flowed

I too have so much to confide in you,

People only see of me that what I want to show them

No one knows it, but in my life, I am so disappointed

Perhaps in another life, I will truly live with it

I am the type to hide myself,

When things go badly, I can break everything

The Almighty never let me go,

Why do I fear spoiling everything

Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack

Life slapped me

Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?

I never trusted myself

I evolved in a life of doubts,

And in the courtyard, I heard them all besmirch me

Don't give a damn about their game

They dream of glory when me, at night, I dream of turning off the screen...

I had way too many all-nighters, I know that you see them,

I have red eyes soaked in blood when things go badly,

When I'm asked, I take the picture, the Salem [witch trials] of my friend

But fundamentally, I am so bad in my [own] skin

Today, the night is my wife, my kid and my mother

If you only knew all the times I ended up on the floor

I drank everything, I took everything, I saw everything, I said nothing

I screamed, I cried, at love, at life

I am the type to hide myself,

When things go badly, I can break everything

The Almighty never let me go,

Why do I fear spoiling everything

Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack

Life slapped me

Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?

If you knew how in my head, it explodes,

How my heart beats quickly when I lose control

How many times I wanted to stop everything

To screw it all up, to restart it all...

So many people who think that I'm saying it myself

If you knew what I tell him five times a day

I would finish by leaving like Melanie

She is at peace, if only you knew how I envy her...

I am the type to hide myself,

When things go badly, I can break everything

The Almighty never let me go,

Why do I fear spoiling everything

Sometimes I'm afraid and I crack

Life slapped me

Tell me what's the point, getting hurt and then shutting up?
