Translation of J'avance from French to English
I was told "what do you look like?"
I was told "it's not for you
You don't have the time, you don't have a choice"
I was told "who do you think you are?
Do you think this is paradise
That we dream a little and that's enough?"
I was told "where do you think you are?
We're not crazy here
Grow up a little, that's not everything"
I was told "you'll be scared one day"
I was told "get out", I was told "run"
I was told "go around again"
Okay it's said
But I move forward, but I move forward
Okay never mind
I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
I saw friends betray me
I saw the worst
Destroy everything and destroy everything
I saw people, quantities
Judge me, categorize me
Call me gay
I saw what's underneath
When innocence unravels
And the revenge of everything
I saw the young being up there
People falling on my back
Like power sounds false
Okay I saw
I move forward, I move forward
A little disappointed
But I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
I saw the beautiful and the short
My values dragged in the mud
That we didn't agree on everything
But I move forward
I saw stupidity, arrogance
When we don't bow
I saw what difference is
But I move forward
But I move forward, but I move forward
But I move forward, but I move forward
If I had let them do
I don't want to shut up
I'm not alone on earth
But I move forward, but I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
Straight ahead, straight on
I move forward
I take my chance
Me, me, me I move forward
I was told "you won't last long"
I was told "you have no chance"
I was told "lower your eyes"
But I move forward, but I move forward
If I had let them do
I don't want to shut up
I'm not alone on earth
But I move forward, but I move forward
(But I move forward, but I move forward)
But I move forward, but I move forward
(But I move forward, but I move forward)
But I move forward, but I move forward
If I had let them do
I don't want to shut up
I'm not alone on earth
But I move forward, but I move forward
