Translation of Au Clair De Ma Plume from French to English
In the light of my pen
I've known the worst and the best
The joys and the angers
I've known the highs and the lows
During my career
I've known laughter and tears
The traitors and the brothers
I've seen the Kalashnikovs and the flowers
Those who are born and those who are buried
They've thrown stones at me, they've dirtied me, they've often thrown stones at me
If the Mediterranean is salty
It's my tears that have made it bitter
The truth is often hard to tell
Even harder to keep quiet
If my hand needs to write it
My heart needs to do it
In the light of my pen, my lucky star has strayed
In the light of my pen, tell me who I can count on
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
If the starting point is the 13th and everything started from a simple demo
My life is walking on embers
When I fall I get back on the bike
They made me fall like the World Trade
Today rebuilt call me Ground Zero
I'm determined, a survivor escaped from the bars, Karismatik, Guantanamo
They tried to destroy me
Thinking I was going to let them
No, don't be afraid to rebuild everything
This piece is my first stone
The truth is often hard to tell
Even harder to keep quiet
If my hand needs to write it
My heart needs to do it
In the light of my pen, my lucky star has strayed
In the light of my pen, tell me who I can count on
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
Well yeah, in the light of my pen
In the light of my pen, my lucky star has strayed
In the light of my pen, tell me who I can count on
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
In the light of my pen, my lucky star has strayed
In the light of my pen, tell me who I can count on
I had to cut out, yeah, I don't have the time, well yeah
I had to do it yeah, it's done now, well yeah
It's done now, well yeah
