À ma place [English translation]

Axel Bauer

Would she be in my place

Stronger than a man

At the bottom of these dead ends

Where she forsakes me

Living in Hell

Dying as a line of duty

Should I , to please her ,

Go as far as this

Is it possible that I reach it

Is it possible that they forgive us

Is it possible that they love us

As we are

Zazie

Does he try to figure what's my place

Sometimes

When my wings crease

& My islands drown

I bend under the weight

Bend under the weight

Of this half of a woman

That he wants me to be

I'd like to act like a Beauty

But not sleeping in the hoods

I'd like to be a queen

But not the shadow of the king

Should I give up

Should I bleed

So he loves me too

As I am

Zazie

Could he try to

Axel Bauer

Would she do for me

Zazie

Open the door a little

Axel Bauer

Just one step

Zazie

Could he do it again

Axel Bauer

Again , one effort

Zazie

One gesture , one step towards me

Axel Bauer

One step towards me

Zazie & Axel Bauer

I don't wait for you

To be the same

I don't wait for you

To understand me

But only you to love me

As I am

Axel Bauer

Does she try to figure what's my place

Sometimes

What should I do

So she sees me

Living in Hell

Dying as a line of duty

Do you want to make me

Someone that I am not

I'd like to try & make the effort

To look you in the eyes

But the silence is dead

& Yours freezes me

My matching soul

Looks for the error

More my blood pours

& More you're afraid

Axel Bauer

Should I teach you about

Zazie

I don't ask for anything

Axel Bauer

The cloudy waters where I wander

Zazie

Where do you go , where are you from

Axel Bauer

Do you really need to know

Zazie

Everything you hide

Axel Bauer

The doubt deep inside of me

Zazie

Deep inside of you

Zazie & Axel Bauer

I don't wait for you

To be the same

I don't wait for you

To understand me

But only you to love me

As I am

When I doubt

When I fall

& When the way

Is too long

When sometimes

I'm not

What you expect from me

What do you want

Us to do

What would you have done

In my place
