I'm 20 years old
I have the life everyone dreams of
Under the spotlight
Always with a smile on my lips

I'm 20 years old
And in a world where love is dying
I cling to my values
Never asking for a break
I will always be 20 years old

In the eyes of my mother, my mother
Each of her tears
Pushes me to make her proud, my mother

I'm 20 years old, and I have the life everyone talks about
Little woman, I came to rap my flame
My 20 years
I lived them in the shadows
With only the desire for love, and to devour the world
But I will never be 20 years old in the eyes of my father
My father, each of his absences
Pushes me to make her proud, my mother

I'm 20 years old
They say I have my life ahead of me
That happiness is over there
That with time, everything goes away
I'm 20 years old
They say "you'll grow up and you'll see"
I tell you "nothing is okay, with time everything goes wrong"

At 20 years old
You start to love men
Until the day they steal your 20 years
Despite the time that hits you
You, you give and you give your 20 years
To life, to death
If it can prove that they are wrong
That they are wrong to believe that at 20 years old
All young people still dream

At 20 years old
You start to love life
It's the age of freedom, you have vice, in front of risks, you dodge
You're 20 and you have the strength of the winners
And then nothing scares you, because they've already broken your heart
You're in your twenties and you're lost on the planet
You dream of Adam and Eve, not just of glitz and glitter
At 20, you're fragile, but you're the future of this country
You know your life, it's that of Amel and Melanie

I'm 20 years old
They say I have my life ahead of me
That happiness is over there
That with time, everything goes away
I'm 20 years old
They say "you'll grow up and you'll see"
I tell you "nothing is okay, with time everything goes wrong"

Just yesterday (just yesterday)
I was 20 years old (I was 20 years old)
Just yesterday (just yesterday)
I wanted to shake people up and mark my time
Just yesterday (just yesterday)
I was 20 years old (I was 20 years old)
Just yesterday
I wanted to shake people up and mark my time

I'm 20 years old
They say I have my life ahead of me
That happiness is over there
That with time, everything goes away
I'm 20 years old
They say "you'll grow up and you'll see"
I tell you "nothing is okay, with time everything goes wrong"

I'm 20 years old
They say I have my life ahead of me
That happiness is over there
That with time, everything goes away
I'm 20 years old
They say "you'll grow up and you'll see"
I tell you "nothing is okay, with time everything goes wrong" (oh-oh)
Oh-oh 20 years old
