Maman m'a dit [English translation]

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

It's true my mom told me "Alice you can do anything".

At that time of my life, I was dreaming of light

In a corner of my room, I'd hang my posters

I took off without doing anything, without looking back

But I lived my life like a documentary

I filmed my boredom, day and night, that's what I learned to do

As if everything was fine, when really I suffered

And suddenly one morning, it was clear to me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

But I realized that sometimes I couldn't do anything

It left a bad taste in my mouth

I grew up on the sidelines but searched the sky

For something extraordinary within a speck of dust

What my mom told me was what men could do

In this world facing girls, facing women, facing mothers

When I went through hell, even hell let me down

I don't have my feet on the ground but I came back

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me

Mommy told me, mommy, mommy told me
