Explique-moi [English translation]

It's the weekend and I'm going out

I'm relaxing with my friends after this week

It's been only one month I've got my license

So my mother, worried for me, warned me and told

'Take care on the road, above all do not drink

Cause drink-driving has wreaked too much havoc'

She's frightened for me cause I'm going with my mates

And it's true they love drinking Vodka

It's past midnight, it's time let's go

I got ready in order to appeal to girls

I took my keys, my money, my licence

As well as my mobile phone in case of trouble

My mother is at window to say me goodbye

And I feel a great despair in her eyes

She can trust me, I won't drive recklessly

'Cause one thing is sure tonight, I am not to drink

We arrived to the club without any trouble

You can be proud of me mum, I drove well

The ambiance is at its height, but as I told you

In my glass, there's fizzy drink as I promised

But it doesn't stop me from taking part in the party

I don't feel the need to get drunk

Moreover I know you're waiting for my return

Mum you know very well that I'm an honest person

It's half past four, the party is ending

I've just to gather all my friends together

We're about to leave and everybody is smiling

The party was fabulous and we all said see you on Saturday

I starting my car to turn the way home,

It's unlikely to be hard 'cause I didn't drink not

To drive too fast in order to be faster

Mum to your advice I haven't been deaf

So mum can you tell me why I'm cold?

Why are the friends I'd to give a lift back to no longer here?

Why as soon as I look around me

Do I only see flashing lights and people who aren't smiling?

Mum I don't understand, I did everything you told me

So why am I lying on the square?

Why am I seeing my life pass before my eyes?

I even feel the beating of my heart slowing down

Be strong mum, I don't want you to cry

I followed your advice, I did no mistake

It seems a bad luck on me, my life jinxed me

I feel my heart's giving in, yes I feel it's time

Before leaving I would like to know...

Why did the person who crashed into me start drinking

While I'm dying on a pavement

Mum I love you sorry for not being able to...

Say goodbye...
