Laylow - UNE HISTOIRE ÉTRANGE (English Translation)
[Chorus]
It's a strange story
Maybe even just a dream
You, you don't wanna understand
But you want them to understand you
So you run all week
You don't even see the stars in the sky anymore

[Verse 1]
I saw you, all these nights facing your broken iPod
Writing lines and lines on pieces of paper
It's wasn't crazy but at least you tried, tried again
While the other would only stutter
And you hang outside sometime just to see what it feels like
To be wasted on Jack Daniels, to not give a fuck
You got to know people and you open your heart like a football stadium
You thought they wеre you friend and that for life
That your fatеs would stay bounded whatever happens
You got it wrong but I can't be mad at you, no
Because the one who never tried will never be woke
Hapiness has a price, not in euros but in tears, yeah

[Chorus]
It's a strange story
Maybe even just a dream
You, you don't wanna understand
But you want them to understand you
So you run all week
You don't even see the stars in the sky anymore
[Verse 2]
Lot of water has passed under the bridge, from time to time you take a look in the mirror and smile
All the past grief is far behind you, with time, comes pretty memories
I'm not saying you have to see la vida through rose-tinted glasses but hey, at least don't make it grey
Yes, I know, you still have no Lambo' but you got dreams which, them, only wish to come alive
And you're hard on yourself, I hope you'll stay like that until the end of the story, ah
Because it's your way of going about things and the best in the world, just 'cause it's your own
Homie, you got it all in your head, don't even said "sorry" to them
You're made out of raw gold, if you win, it's normal
No big deal if you loose, remontada will follow
You're gonna do projects, some will be a killer
Others will founder like a ship in the sea
But it's nothing 'cause you know you ain't the same no more
That you made your own way in a land everyone thought impassable

[Chorus]
It's a strange story
Maybe even just a dream
You, you don't wanna understand
But you want them to understand you
So you run all week
You don't even see the stars in the sky anymore

[Outro: Mr. Anderson]
You still have doubts? Who am I is not important. It's who you are which matter. And if I follow you since the beggining of your journey, it's to help you understand this. You don't realize it but you have progressed and I'm proud of you. I hope you'll keep moving forward in that tunnel, even if you don't see the light at the end. Because it's not the end that matter, it's the journey into the bargain. Your journey is your story. So write it, at all cost, even if it's a... strange story
