Paroles et traduction Kenza Farah - Au clair de ma plume

Au clair de ma plume

Au clair de ma plume

J′ai connu le pire et le meilleur
Les joies et les colères
J'ai connu les hauts et les bas
Durant ma carrière
J′ai connu les rires et les pleurs
Les traîtres et les frères
J'ai vu les Kalash et les fleurs
Ceux qui naissent et ceux qu'on enterre
On m′a cassé du sucre sur le dos
On m′a salie on m'a souvent jeté la pierre
Si la Méditerranée est salée
C′est mes larmes qui l'ont rendue amère
La vérité est souvent dure à dire
Encore plus dure à taire
Si ma main a besoin de l′écrire
Mon cœur a besoin de le faire

Au clair de ma plume
Ma bonne étoile s'est égarée
Au clair de ma plume
Dis-moi sur qui je peux compter
Fallait qu′j'me taille ouais
J'ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu′j′le fasse ouais
Ça y est c'est die beh ouais

Si le point de départ c′est le 13
Et que tout est parti d'une simple démo
Moi ma vie c′est marcher sur les braises
Quand je chute je remonte à vélo
Ils m'ont fait tomber comme le World Trade
Aujourd′hui reconstruite appelle-moi Ground Zero
Je suis déter survivante évadée des barreaux
Karismatik, Guantanamo
Ils ont essayé de me détruire
En pensant que j'allais m'laisser faire
Non n′aie pas peur de tout reconstruire
Ce morceau c′est ma première pierre
La vérité est souvent dure à dire
Encore plus dure à taire
Si ma main a besoin de l'écrire
Mon cœur a besoin de le faire

Au clair de ma plume
Ma bonne étoile s′est égarée
Au clair de ma plume
Dis-moi sur qui je peux compter
Fallait qu'j′me taille ouais
J'ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu′j'le fasse ouais
Ça y est c'est die beh ouais

Fallait qu′j′me taille ouais
J'ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu′j'le fasse ouais
Ça y est c′est die beh ouais
Beh ouais, beh ouais
Fallait qu'j′me taille ouais
J'ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu'j′le fasse ouais
Ça y est c′est die beh ouais
Beh ouais, beh ouais
Au clair de ma plume

Au clair de ma plume
Ma bonne étoile s'est égarée
Au clair de ma plume
Dis-moi sur qui je peux compter
Fallait qu′j'me taille ouais
J′ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu'j′le fasse ouais
Ça y est c'est die beh ouais

Au clair de ma plume
Ma bonne étoile s'est égarée
Au clair de ma plume
Dis-moi sur qui je peux compter
Fallait qu′j′me taille ouais
J'ai plus le time beh ouais
Fallait qu′j'le fasse ouais
Ça y est c′est die beh ouais

Ça y est c'est die beh ouais

By the Light of My Pen

By the Light of My Pen

I've known the worst and the best
The joys and the anger
I've known the highs and the lows
Throughout my career
I've known laughter and tears
The traitors and the brothers
I've seen Kalashnikovs and flowers
Those who are born and those we bury
They talked behind my back, spread lies
They smeared me, often threw stones
If the Mediterranean is salty
It's my tears that made it bitter
The truth is often hard to say
Even harder to silence
If my hand needs to write it
My heart needs to do it

By the light of my pen
My lucky star has gone astray
By the light of my pen
Tell me who I can count on
I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah

If the starting point is the 13th
And everything started from a simple demo
My life is walking on embers
When I fall, I get back up on my bike
They brought me down like the World Trade
Today, rebuilt, call me Ground Zero
I'm determined, a survivor, escaped from bars
Karismatik, Guantanamo
They tried to destroy me
Thinking I would let them
No, don't be afraid to rebuild everything
This song is my first stone
The truth is often hard to say
Even harder to silence
If my hand needs to write it
My heart needs to do it

By the light of my pen
My lucky star has gone astray
By the light of my pen
Tell me who I can count on
I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah

I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah
Well yeah, well yeah
I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah
Well yeah, well yeah
By the light of my pen

By the light of my pen
My lucky star has gone astray
By the light of my pen
Tell me who I can count on
I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah

By the light of my pen
My lucky star has gone astray
By the light of my pen
Tell me who I can count on
I had to get away, yeah
I don't have the time anymore, well yeah
I had to do it, yeah
That's it, it's done, well yeah

That's it, it's done, well yeah
