Translation of Papa Maman from French to English
Dad, mom, I'm not mad at you
I'm all broken, don't worry about me
I'll be better tomorrow, I promise you
The doctor said it, I won't cry anymore
You held my hand yesterday
Today, I'm rushing but I can't see clearly
I would like to be a child again
It was simple, not like now
I had hope and ambition
I find it hard to believe that I'm hitting rock bottom
I watch the mirror, it terrifies me
It wants to show me what life has in store for me
If only, I knew where this path leads me
I want to reach out, I want you to take it
If tomorrow is the end, I'll say, thank you
In the meantime, I live
Dad, mom, I'm often scared
I have nausea, I have a heartache
I stay lying down all day
I let the weeks pass
I try to get better, to think
About all the love that I receive
Thanks to them, I stand up
Head high, I walk straight
I had hope and ambition
I find it hard to believe that I'm hitting rock bottom
I watch the mirror, it terrifies me
It wants to show me what life has in store for me
If only I knew where this path leads me
I want to reach out, I want you to take it
If tomorrow is the end, I'll say, thank you
In the meantime, I live
Dad, mom, I'm not mad at you (Dad, mom, I'm not mad at you)
I'm not mad at you (I'm not mad at you)
Dad, mom, I'm not mad at you (I think I'm hitting rock bottom)
I'm not mad at you (I'm not mad at you), oh-oh, oh
I had hope and ambition
I find it hard to believe that I'm hitting rock bottom
I watch the mirror, it terrifies me
It wants to show me what life has in store for me
If only I knew where this path leads me
I want to reach out, I want you to take it
If tomorrow is the end, I'll say, thank you
In the meantime, I live
