I muse at the airplanes through the window
Behind bars, me, who wants to escape
I never felt like submitting myself
to these beings with their worn-out ideas
I want (to be able) to see other mornings being born
Maybe the line in [the palm of] my hand will tell me
I must follow the searchlight, because my soul is [my] master
But I'm afraid to touch a wall (litt: the end) just a few metres away
And I don't want to leave
Even if there is nothing that holds me back
I don't want to suffer
I have taken a one-way charter[ticket]
Not to come back anymore
I wear this mask, to look like the others
[disguised] as a failed boy, a girl not like the others (like the other girls)
I expect the worst, en I endure
I'm fed up with pretending that I am strong
So I play corpse, so as not to die
I need to get out to close this Algerian chapter
[And] if there is dust upon this theme
Know that I love you never the less.
I would better go back
