Le cordon [English translation]

[Verse 1 - Oli, in the role of the embryo]

I could have been a big artist, a Nobel prize or a gangster,

To be born in your arms, to see your wrinkles to see how much I grew,

Your heartbeats make me imagine your smile,

I will live in your world, together with your memories.

Let me call you "Mummy", it's not often, that's true,

I want a sunny place in your secret garden,

Why didn't you want me ? You must have your reasons,

There probably wasn't enough place in our little house,

Dry your tears, I'm only a seed that didn't grow up,

I don't know myself, and you, tell me how you imagine me,

I was too hurried, that was maybe too soon,

In memory of me, hook on the wall a frame with no photo on it,

Describe me the view of your bedroom, sing to comfort me,

Sometimes, I laugh imaginating the name I would have been given,

Death, life : I don't know anything about it, when I think about it, I lose myself,

I'll never see him but, please, mummy, make a little brother to me,

Just remember my love, enjoy, have a walk around,

You would maybe be sadder if I had seen the light of the day,

I would maybe have left the house, make our lives a mess, by the way, where is my father ?

Sea, flowers, sun, friends, missed birthdays,

Sadness, fearness : I'll never know,

What is it like to breath ? Talk me, I don't wanna see you in tears,

You didn't keep me in your belly, but let me a place in your heart.

[Chorus]

Mummy, how is outside ?

The strong love between us.

I'm not alive, neither dead,

But I still feel the cord.

My child, you know I love you,

And I ask you to forgive me,

I'm not right, neither wrong,

And I still feel the cord.

[Verse 2 - Bigflo in the role of the mother who aborted]

Firstly, Mummy loves you, you have to know that,

I think of you everyday when I see myself in the mirror,

You would look like me, I hear your laugh in my dreams,

And I feel like something is missing at every mornings,

But you would look like your father, this coward left us alone,

At this time we were all a bit lost,

And it hurts me, his blood would flow in your veins,

And me, I loved him like I love you,

I'm young, I don't have any money,

I haven't finished my studies yet, and I'm alone,

I wasn't ready to welcome you, I have some difficulties to live well,

And since he has gone, it's even worse,

Between copybooks and baby diapers, rent and school lessons,

I would have drown in my days, crushed by the costs,

I had to make a choice, at the edge of the cliff,

I prefered not to be a mother, rather than being a bad one.

I imagine ourself in a park, dirt splash on our shoes,

Fearing the time passing by,

You hold my hand, you talk to me with your eyes,

I don't hear anyone else, I only feel the both of us,

And I didn't want you to have a hard life, to know my difficult ends of months,

And your father would probably have been missing more often than you,

We'll see each other next time,

I didn't give you life so that you don't have to live mine.

[Chorus X2]

Mummy, how is outside ?

The strong love between us.

I'm not alive, neither dead,

But I still feel the cord.

My child, you know I love you,

And I ask you to forgive me,

I'm not right, neither wrong,

And I still feel the cord.

Mummy, how is outside ?

The strong love between us.

I'm not alive, neither dead,

But I still feel the cord.

My child, you know I love you,

And I ask you to forgive me,

I'm not right, neither wrong,

And I still feel the cord.

[Outro]

Mummy, how is outside ?

My child, you know I love you,

The strong love between us.

And I ask to forgive me,

I'm not alive, neither dead,

I'm not right, neither wrong,

But I still feel the cord.

And I still feel the cord.

But I still feel the cord.

And I still feel the cord.

But I still feel the cord.

And I still feel the cord.

But I still feel the cord.

And I still feel the cord.

The cord.
