Translation of Terre inconnue from French to English
It starts (it starts)
Lying on a bed in the room of my childhood between four walls
An evidence (an evidence)
I let all my dreams go and they are immense, so pure
Sound in the veins and words in the hands
I made refrains out of my sorrow
When I write poems, I forget that I'm hungry
But the scene, it's far away
How to stop? Starting is a good start (it's a good start)
Going from unknown lands to familiar territory (to familiar territory)
How to stop? Starting is a good start (it's a good start)
Going from unknown lands to familiar territory
Which way? I don't know where to go
I don't know where to start, it will take years (it will take years)
Separate Paris, it seems
I don't have well-placed friends but I'm going to try everything (but I'm going to try everything)
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
The first time I heard that famous boom boom tchac
I knew my life was going to revolve around that
I don't know what it's called but I'm nodding my head
I need to find the recipe
I wanted to meet Michael, I wanted to do everything to check
Don't talk to me about step by step
Give everything, I don't know if you remember
At the time I didn't see the money coming, just memories
I gave everything, never gave up
But people were different
In my head, I barely had ten phalanges
They told me I had a little talent
I didn't believe it of course
Crazy teenager, I tease
Sitting on a bench listening to the Fugees
The flow to Lauryn Hill, I walk in the city
Unfortunately, the ground doesn't light up like in Billie Jean
In short, my life a damn movie
Now I know I have something extra
I am the son of my father, Black warrior
The truth is that you're not up to it
I'm still on my way, maybe we'll cross paths
Shout out to those who thought I was going to stay with my arms crossed
How to stop? Starting is a good start (it's a good start)
Going from unknown lands to familiar territory (to familiar territory)
How to stop? Starting is a good start (it's a good start)
Going from unknown lands to familiar territory
Which way? I don't know where to go
I don't know where to start, it will take years (it will take years)
Separate Paris, it seems
I don't have well-placed friends but I'm going to try everything (but I'm going to try everything)
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
But where is Paris, and Paris is where?
Which way?
