Assis devant la mer en regardant les vagues etSitting by the sea while watching the waves,
Réfléchir à cette colère, ramassant des alguesthinking about this anger while gathering seaweed.
Je me pose un instant, tout en hésitantI pause for a moment, feeling so hesitant,
Pourquoi tant de haine, tant d’éloignement ?wondering why there’s so much hate and distance?
Hey broHey bro,
Staring at the sky and I see you growstaring at the sky and watching you grow.
J’aimerais tant t’serrer dans mes bras, làI’d love so much to hold you in my arms right now.
Attendre si longtemps pour revoir son visageWaiting so long to see his face again,
Espérer un temps recevoir un messagehoping that one day I’ll receive a message.
Mais quand le verrai-je ? Combien d’mois ? À quel âge ?But when will I see him? How many months? At what age?
Mais p#tain, qu’est-ce t’attends ? Ça m’fout la rageBut ‘d#mn’, what are you waiting for? It makes me so angry.
