La route des princes [English translation]

I'm on the road of princes, but well, there's nothing charming

the hassle hurts my head, there’s no medicine

I work to eat, late at night, I hurt my ligaments

“my son never surrenders,” that's what I'm told by my mom

we make do

I walk with few troubles

my brother if you knew

I’d like everything to stop

well yeah, on the road I stalled

more gasoline, more nothing

I've given everything so my mom can eat

I want to be a prince

it doesn’t matter what they think

last night I dreamt about it

I didn’t wanna wake up

I’d like to drive fast on the road

but there are potholes in the tar

Papa's really out of breath

it’s my turn to take, I’m not ten anymore

yes, I dream of reaching the summit

my home doesn’t have a building

if you see me shining, it’s just the sun

nobody knows my life

I'm on the road of princes, but well, there's nothing charming

the hassle hurts my head, there’s no medicine

I work to eat, late at night, I hurt my ligaments

“my son never surrenders,” that's what I'm told by my mom

we make do

I walk with few troubles

my brother if you knew

I’d like everything to stop

I put on an act but I’m afraid of dragging us down

they tell me to get out of here, my friends are moving away

the streets attest to it

the north has allured us

here the dreams are running out

I would’ve liked to go along without doubt

I've stumbled over my self-deceptions

every day that God made, mom suffers

it's my turn to manage the house

yes, I dream of reaching the summit

my home doesn’t have a building

if you see me shining, it’s just the sun

nobody knows my life

I'm on the road of princes, but well, there's nothing charming

the hassle hurts my head, there’s no medicine

I work to eat, late at night, I hurt my ligaments

“my son never surrenders,” that's what I'm told by my mom

we make do

I walk with few troubles

my brother if you knew

I’d like everything to stop

we make do

it’s God who gives and it's him who takes away

it’ll be better tomorrow

I walk with few troubles

I refuse to give up as long as I have both my hands

my brother if you knew

it’s God who gives and it's him who takes away

it’ll be better tomorrow

I’d like everything to stop

and that’s why on the road of princes, we sing the same refrain

I'm on the road of princes, but well, there's nothing charming

the hassle hurts my head, there’s no medicine

I work to eat, late at night, I hurt my ligaments

“my son never surrenders,” that's what I'm told by my mom

we make do

I walk with few troubles

my brother if you knew

I’d like everything to stop

the road of princes, Conakry

we all have a road of princes

a goal to reach, dreams

strength to all of Africa

strength to the world, yeah

eternally unsatisfied
