Stromae
Stromae - Défiler (Bande originale de la capsule No. 5 Mosaert) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
She parades
We see our lives moving forward
On the thread
We see the years passing by
We try to go the right way
And we can't go back
All those knots in our lives
If we could unravel them
So tell me how it works
Tell me how it works
Tell me how it works
Tell me how it works
[Verse 2]
Anyways, we don't fit in
In groups or not, we walk alone
Either we want it or not, we have a market price, from our youngest age to the shroud
Walk or die but walk the right way, walk backward or don't walk
And the business, it goes on
The health, the family, and the rest, it goes on
Tell me how it works
Tell me how it works
I know it, it's not always how we want it to be
Not always as we wish, but I would want some happy old days
Tell me how it works
[Verse 3]
I wonder after all these years, again and again
I know where I'm not going, but not where I want to go yet
I have a feeling if I let myself go, it wouldn't do me wrong
I should just go for it, at least I would be wrong not to try
If I wanted to I could even stop, go backtrack
By the way why should gates always be overcome
Why am I afraid of being overwhelmed, by whom and by what?
I do not know but what I know is that if I'm scared it's because I'm not the last
As if there was only one arrival, only one place
Only one road where we should go, I would be surprised
All I know is that I do not know, I go step by step
Yeah step by step, yeah step by step
[Bridge]
I'm going step by step (Step by step, step by step, step by step)
I'm going step by step
All I know is that I don't know
I'm going step by step (Step by step, step by step, step by step)
[Verse 4]
Her head in her phones
Without earbuds, we'd think she's crazy
Without Google, we'd think she's dumb
And without filters, we'd think she's fucking hot
It's too easy to judge, it's too easy to judge
If her goal in life is to look like Gigi
But without surgery it's more Gégé than Gigi
If school taught us how to take good selfies
To have a better start in life, to have a better start in life
Without knowing where we're going, where we are
Without even knowing where we'd end up
Without knowing where we are, where we're going
Without even knowing where it'll end up
Her head in her phone
Without earbuds, we'd think she's crazy
Without Google, we'd think she's dumb
And without filters, we'd think she's fucking hot
[Verse 5]
What matters is what's in our hearts, and what's in our bank account
Money doesn't bring happiness no, it's to make bombs
Being pretty when we have money (We have money), it's more easy right
Money makes people cocky and it makes them beautiful at the same time, it's fascinating
We are not all equal when it comes to beauty, it's so easy to be fat when we see them parade
As a kid, before learning a job
You first need to know how to edit a CV picture
[Outro]
Her head in her phone
Withour earbuds, we'd think she's crazy
Without Google, we'd think she's dumb
And without filters, we'd think she's fucking hot
