People keep asking me
When will I be on TV?
I love to sing but it doesn't pay
My rent at the end of the month
The studio costs money
So little chance of being on the radio
But when you love, you don't count the cost
Soon you will hear my voice
This damn artist's life
I asked God for it so much
I had it there, deep in my eyes
Blinded by the love of risk
I told myself: "Hope exists"
This damn artist's life
I didn't even want to dream better
But only eating every other day
In songs, it's wonderful
But in life, it's really sad

I chain the metros, the jobs
My sleepless nights are not parties
And all my days are defeats
Life, it's too real to be beautiful
I tried to forget you
And some nights, I admit, I still try
With someone else or in other settings
But you don't care, you're stuck to my body

This damn artist's life
I asked God for it so much
I had it there, deep in my eyes
Blinded by the love of risk
I told myself: "Hope exists"
This damn artist's life
I didn't even want to dream better
But only eating every other day
In songs, it's wonderful
But in life, it's really sad
You've never heard the voice
Of those who have never won
I see success, it's in front of me
Oh no, it just moved away

This damn artist's life
I asked God for it so much
I had it there, deep in my eyes
Blinded by the love of risk
I told myself: "Hope exists"
This damn artist's life
I didn't even want to dream better
But only eating every other day
In songs, it's wonderful
But in life, it's really sad
