[Verse 1: Roméo Elvis]
Yeah, drama teaches us to become stronger
Things won't be same, life throws us wagers
We were 17, we were still kids
Among all the risk-taking and innocence that we showed
We got into all kinds of bullshit without hurting anyone
But this one will have costed Simon's life
The head in a puddle of ever-increasing blood
The images of a friend leaving in silence
The regrets are immense
I was kinda scared to write this verse
I didn't want to hurt my friends
Several of us saw him lose his life
And I lost sight of them, too
I think about Simon several times a week
Mostly irrational thoughts
Sometimes simply accepting that his hour had come
But the melancholy is stronger and it haunts me in my sleep
[Chorus: Roméo Elvis & (Témé Tan)]
(Early morning, in silence)
I saw death take Simon, uh (In silence)
I saw death take Simon, one spring night in my city
A violent shock for eternity, a young thoughtful kid
I saw death take Simon, yeah
Death take Simon, oh oh oh
I've got my friend Constantin on my mind
[Verse 2: Roméo Elvis]
Ay, I've got my friend Constantin on my mind
Did you really leave in an avalanche?
It seems crazy to believe, but it's true you tipped the scale in my career
The burial was tough but, fuck, there were a lot of people, beau gosse
For one last time, you showed us the extent of your connections
And your force of seduction, beau gosse, yeah yeah yeah
This pain is necessary, but it still breaks me every time, man
I'm too sensitive to say goodbye to my friends, drowning in sadness
They're gone, it is what it is, life wanted things this way
I'm not a guy who believes in destiny, but their deaths instilled me with good principles
[Chorus: Roméo Elvis & (Témé Tan)]
(Early morning, in silence)
I saw death take Simon, hein (In silence)
I saw death take Simon, one spring night in my city
A violent shock for eternity, a young thoughtful kid
I saw death take Simon, yeah
Death take Simon, oh oh oh
