Kif 'n'dir

I muse at the airplanes through the window
Behind bars, me, who wants to escape
I never felt like submitting myself
'To these beings with their worn-out ideas
I want (to be able) to see other mornings being born
Maybe the line in [the palm of] my hand will tell me
I must follow the searchlight, because my soul is [my] master
But I'm afraid to touch a wall (litt: the end) just a few metres away

And I don't want to leave
Even if there is nothing that holds me back
I don't want to suffer
I have taken a one-way charter[ticket]
Not to come back anymore

Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir
shkite l bereh f lile ana
Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir

I wear this mask to look like the others
[disguised] as a failed boy, a girl not like the others (like the other girls)
I expect the worst and I endure
I'm fed up with pretending that I am strong
So I play corpse, so as not to die
I need to get out to close this Algerian chapter
Even if there is dust upon this theme
Know that I love you never the less

And I don't want to leave
Even if there is nothing that holds me back
I don't want to suffer
I have taken a one-way charter[ticket]
Not to come back anymore

Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir
shkite l bereh f lile ana
Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir

Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir
shkite l bereh f lile ana
Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir

Ouh ouh ouh ouh

Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir
shkite l bereh f lile ana
Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir

Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir
shkite l bereh f lile ana
Kif'n'dir, kif'n'dir

Don't cry, Algeria, I don't sleep
Don't cry, Algeria, I don't sleep
Don't cry, Algeria, I don't sleep
Don't cry, Algeria, I don't sleep

Kif 'n'dir

J'contemple les avions par la fenêtre
Baraudée , moi qui veut m'évader
Je n'ai jamais eu envie de me soumettre
A ces êtres aux rives érodées
Je veux pouvoir voir d'autres jour naîtrent
La ligne de ma main me l'dira peut-être
Je dois suivre le phare car mon âme est maître
Mais j'ai peur de toucher le fond, jusqu'à quelques mètres

Et je n'ai pas envie de partir
Même si il n'y a rien pour me retenir
Je n'ai pas envie de souffrir
J'ai pris un aller-simple charter
Pour ne plus revenir

Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir
Shkite el barah fe lile ana
Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir

Je porte ce masque pour ressembler aux autres
En garçon manqué, une fille pas comme les autres
Je m'attends au pire, et je supporte
J'en ai marre de faire semblant que je suis forte
Donc j'fais la morte pour ne pas mourir
Faut qu'je m'en sorte pour fermer ce chapitre
Algérie même s'il y a de la poussière sur ce thème
Sache que, malgré tout je t'aime

Et je n'ai pas envie de partir
Même si il n'y a rien pour me retenir
Je n'ai pas envie de souffrir
J'ai pris un aller-simple charter
J'ferais mieux de revenir

Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir
Shkite el barah felil ana
Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir 

Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir
Shkite el barah felil ana
Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir 

Ouh ouh ouh ouh 

Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir
mchite el barah felil ana
Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir

Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir
Shkite el barah felil ana
Kif'n'dir, Kif'n'dir....

Pleure pas, Algérie, moi non plus, je ne dors pas 
Pleure pas, Algérie, moi non plus, je ne dors pas 
Pleure pas, Algérie, moi non plus, je ne dors pas 
Pleure pas, Algérie, moi non plus, je ne dors pas
