J'ai Mal [English translation]

[Intro]

Kore, Lacrim

I grew up a suburbanite

Hanging out late at night

Wanted to see the lights

Gold and ivory

They wouldn’t believe us

Marked in history

Dreams of power

[Verse 1]

Little, I left school, a talent wasted

Impossible to move, attached to my father

I wanted to run away, to fly away

Needed to gain momentum and yet I fell down

But they’re wrong, for in stolen gold

I had no point of reference

Dog eat dog world

Disaster with the police

Chasing us like rabbits

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

[Refrain]

I know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I hold everything

I even know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I accept everything

[Verse 2]

Start out fresh

A little excited

No longer hanging on my hometowns streets

Yet I was lonely, prowling in Paris

At the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, dreaming all night

Yet, in the police station, getting mugshots

Now I’m visiting islands on a boat

My resentment motivated

My life of greed

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

[Chorus]

I even know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I hold everything

I even know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I accept everything

[Bridge]

Sometimes I'm alone, I'm lost

Remorseful about my past

She does not care about us, I'm not bad

But money makes us do crazy stuff

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

Yes, Mom, I'll do what it takes

I’ll be back soon, I promise you

[Chorus] (x2)

I even know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I hold everything

I even know where I hold my evil

I hurt, I hurt, I hurt

I hold everything, I accept everything
