Seven a.m. and I’m getting up already, then I pack my lunch
Because I never eat at home
My boyfriend too works his fingers to the bone
He keeps telling me « Don’t worry, just go on»
Because sometimes I give up and sometimes I stop believing
Everything’s like a huge lie to me
But I believe in a few dreams that are like an urge
and they fill up my life
And when we go for a night out
between two glasses and a good laugh with my friends
I realize that all this counts for nothing
that this whole life is a big game
I am a woman who believes in love
Who wants her man to be hers alone
I want to be a mother
Because my mom is the best thing in the world
I like Christmas, a Sunday at the beach
then leaving the table around 3pm,
Because family is a wonder to me, it strikes a cord
I would like to have my own family.
My generation, if it’s waiting to cash in retirement benefits
may find itself with nothing
Mortgage payments can bury you
So you’d rather opt for a life-long of paying rent
But I’m not feeling sorry for myself and I accept the compromise
I enjoy all that I have
Because life is a gift
And I believe there is good in what I have done and in what I will be able to do
So, my friends, we cannot give up
I’ll keep on dreaming about a house with ….
with a small veranda full of plants
and a large kitchenette
I am a woman who believes in love
Who wants her man to be hers alone
I want to be a mother
Because my mom is the best thing in the world
I like Christmas, a Sunday at the beach
then leaving the table around 3pm,
Because family is a wonder to me, it strikes a cord with me
I would like to have my own family
