Lyrics

French & English
 

J'ai cherché

J'ai cherché un sens à mon existence
J'y ai laissé mon innocence
J'ai fini le cœur sans défense
J'ai cherché
L'amour et la reconnaissance
J'ai payé le prix du silence
Je me blesse et recommence

Tu m'as Comme donné l'envie d'être moi
Donné un sens à mes pourquoi
Tu as tué la peur
Qui dormait là, qui dormait là
Dans mes bras

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

J'ai cherché un sens
Un point de repère
Partagé en deux hémisphères
Comme une erreur de l'Univers
J'ai jeté tellement de bouteilles à la mer
J'ai bu tant de liqueurs amères
Que j'en ai les lèvres de pierre

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

Au gré de nos blessures
Et de nos désinvoltures
C'est quand on n'y croit plus du tout
Qu'on trouve un Paradis perdu

En nous
Oh, you, you, you, you

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's mаking me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You
Give me your love with my song
Give me your love with my ѕong

I searched

I have looked for a sense to my existence
It made me leave my innocence behind
I've finished with an unprotected heart
I have looked for…
Love and recognition
I have paid the price of silence
I am getting hurt but starting all over again

You gave me the will to be myself
Gave a meaning to my questions
You have killed the fear that was sleeping here
That was sleeping here
In my arms

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

I have looked for, a direction, a landmark
Split into two hemispheres
Like a mistake of the universe
I have thrown…
Too many bottles to the sea
Drank so much bitter liquor
It made my lips as cold as stone

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song

Along our injuries
And our flippancies
It's when we completely lose our faith
That we find a lost paradise inside ourselves

Within us
Oh, you, you, you, you

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You
You're the one that's mаking me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You
Give me your love with my song
Give me your love with my ѕong

Etsin

Olen etsinyt olemassaololleni merkitystä
Se sai mut jättämään viattomuuteni taakseni
Olen päässyt päätökseen suojaamattomalla sydämellä
Olen etsinyt…
Rakkautta ja tunnustusta
Olen maksanut hiljaisuuden hinnan
Mua satutetaan, mutta aloitan kaiken alusta

Annoit mulle tahdon olla oma itseni
Antoi kysymyksilleni merkityksen
Olet tappanut pelon, joka nukkui täällä
Joka nukkui täällä
Sylissäni


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia

Olen etsinyt suuntaa, maamerkkiä
Jaettu kahteen pallonpuoliskoon
Kuin maailmankaikkeuden virhe
Olen heittänyt…
Liian monta pulloa mereen
Join niin paljon kitkerää viinaa
Se sai huuleni kylmiksi kuin kivi


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia

Vammojemme mukana
Ja kevytmielisyytemme
On silloin, kun menetämme täysin uskomme
Että löydämme sisällämme kadonneen paratiisin

Sisällämme
Oh, sä, sä, sä, sä


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia
Kuin lauluni melodia


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Kuin lauluni melodia
Kuin lauluni melodia


Olet se, joka tekee musta vahvan
Etsin, etsin
Sua
Anna minulle rakkautesi laulullani
Anna minulle rakkauteѕi laulullаni
