Translation of Les yeux mouillés (feat. Youssoupha) from French to English
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me
Bro, I'm traumatized
I'm at mama's bedside
She's in a coma
No pain, no drama
I never imagined her in a hospital bed
Her absence will be deadly because her presence is vital to me
I think of the tears I made her shed
The trials I made her go through
At the twilight of her life, I whisper my regrets
I didn't know how to love her other than with a silent love
I know I hurt her
And you can't clean your mistakes with dirty money
All the harm I've done, I'll end up paying for it
By getting too involved in illicit activities, I end up with wet eyes
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me
I'm afraid to see her go, bro, I'm petrified
I lead a hectic life but now I'm paralyzed
By sacrificing herself for us, she ended up wearing herself out
She had to have a stroke for me to realize it
Work broke her back
This world belongs to them because our mothers get up early
I'll never have a boss, even if I end up in front of the prosecutor
Mom carried a burden, I'll carry a glock
Look me straight in the eyes
You'll see thunder and flashes of gunfire
You'll see storms, tornadoes of torment
Tonight my eyes are wet as if it's pouring rain
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Never any rest
A weapon in the palm
Pain in the skin
We end up with wet eyes
Stay up until dawn
Mama on a throne
It was a childhood dream
We end up with wet eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me, look me straight in the eyes
Look at me
