Translation of Comme Une Bouteille a La Mer from French to English
Another argument with my mother
I play deaf, slam the door
To forget, I joke with my friends while covering a block
Face plunged into the stars, drowned in my thoughts
I'm looking for an island, a shore, or at least a piece of wood
I feel like a message in a bottle
I go where the flow of life takes me
Far from everything, even from my mother
Life has given me the solitude of Robinson
I want to repaint my life, but I can't find the right brush
Some have taken the big leap, married, with children
They give us their success speeches, their life is better than before
That's what they tell us
I see weariness in their eyes
But at least they tried to get out of their stretcher
I feel like I've missed a lot of trains
Yet I've never left the platform
Proof, the young ones squat me, it sucks
Time blew out my twenty-fifth candle
I'm not even sure
I'm still in the same place, with the same logic
The piano from The Young and the Restless to wake me up
The little sister to cook for me
Crying, I did it for nothing
To calm me down I rap, others roll
Here are our two aerial means, a woman
Sometimes I think it's the biggest scam in a man's life
Some say one of them will one day light up my shadow
I hope to see it from this angle
For now, the knives on my shoulder blades have traces of red nail polish
But hey, life has to be lived, so I live it
Flee the broken windows of my existence
Continue, navigate, even in the void
I turn to starboard, take flight, through my lines, describe my wrinkles
Build myself a myth, have to, I feel my pulse slowing down
I have to leave a trace of an honest man or a big bandit
I don't care, I have to prove that I was alive
If you think I should see a shrink, remember that I only have rap as a couch
Mom, the tide is high, and I let myself be carried away by the waves
They're too strong, I want to tell you that I love you but I'm too nervous
Mark my forehead with your smile
Please, forget all the times I made you suffer
I know that effort is a strength that I master little
And I also know that it's the umbrella you need
When it rains on your cheeks
But in my head I hear incessant gunshots
A poacher left dove feathers, full of blood
I wanted to learn to give, I learned to eat everything
Learn to forgive, I learned to take revenge
I wanted to learn to love, I learned to hate
I didn't want to row, I did it, with a big ship
I wanted to avoid the rain, I faced it in a t-shirt
I wanted her for life, I only had her for a flirt
I feel like a message in a bottle
Drowned in the waves of life's melancholy
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, like a message in a bottle
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
Like a message in a bottle, I feel
I feel like a message in a bottle, S.O.S
Like a message in a bottle
