Sans jamais se plaindre [English translation]

5 o'clock in the morning, he gets up without a noise

In the cold, in the night or in the rain

It doesn't matter, he does it for his family

Without ever complaining

In his hand, the lunch that mum made

the night before and with all the love in the world

It's not easy, construction work, but he continues

Without ever complaining

He was 27 when he came to France

From the beginning his life never had any romance

Slums, little money, but so much patience

This man, this quietly strong man, a proud man

This is my dad

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

It's you that I sing, breathe, empathize, cry

I love you

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

I love you

She carries the whole family on her shoulders

7 o'clock in the morning, she gets up and take us to school

Braids our hair, holds our hand on the way,

Without ever complaining

Married at 19, first child at 20

By the Grace of God she found someone good and decent

Every day she dreams of a better future for us

Without ever complaining

She's given us so much, denied herself for her family

And despite the obstacles along the way we never wanted

Heaven is underfoot, I'd give my life for her.

This woman, a quietly strong woman, a proud woman

This is my mum

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

It's you that I sing, breathe, empathize, cry

I love you

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

I love you

To my dad, my mum, my sisters and my brother

I carry you in my spirit, my soul, and my heart

To those who have passed, to all my dear beings

You who watch over me and comprise my happiness

To my dad, my mum, my sisters and my brother

I carry you in my spirit, my soul, and my heart

To those who have passed, to all my dear beings

You who watch over me and comprise my happiness

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

It's you that I sing, breathe, empathize, cry

I love you

I don't have enough words

I owe you everything in this low world

I love you
