Lyrics of Il avance - Sinsémilia

Il avance (original)

Il a ses blessures qui n’guérissent pas
Ses cicatrices qui ne s’effacent pas
La tête pleine de pourquoi
La tête pleine de pourquoi
Comme si l’injuste le suivait à la trace
Comme si ici, il n’avait pas sa place
Car si la vie est un combat lui ne trouve pas les armes
Tout juste la force de contenir ses larmes
Au fond d’sa gorge un appel aux secours
Qu’il retient chaque jour
Il avance, il avance
Surmontant les souffrances
Il avance, il avance
Par foi en l’existence
Il avance, il avance
Il avance, il avance
Par foi en l’existence
Elle a au fond tant de rancoeur
Tout un vécu qui crée la peur
Qui paralyse chaque pas
Qui vient ternir chaque joie
C’est toujours seule qu’elle se débat
Qu’elle trouve la force de n’pas finir en bas
Car si la vie est combat, elle ne trouve pas les armes
Tout juste la force de contenir ses larmes
Dans tout son être, un tel besoin d’amour
Qui grandit chaque jour
Combien sont-ils à tenir?
À tenir?
À serrer les dents faute de n’pouvoir sourire
Forts d’un refus d’abandonner, forts de l’envie d’espérer
D’espérer qu’un jour la vie voudra offrir un avenir
En attendant, faut tenir
Ce qui ne tue pas rend plus fort (x16)
Ils avancent, ils avancent
Surmontant leurs souffrances
Ils avancent, ils avancent
Par foi en l’existence

(translation)

He's got his wounds that won't heal
His scars that don't fade
Head full of why
Head full of why
As if the unjust were following him
As if here he didn't belong
'Cause if life is a fight he can't find the weapons
Barely enough to contain her tears
Deep in her throat a cry for help
That he remembers every day
He's moving on, he's moving on
overcoming the pain
He's moving on, he's moving on
By faith in the existence
He's moving on, he's moving on
He's moving on, he's moving on
By faith in the existence
She's got so much resentment deep down
A whole experience that creates fear
that paralyzes every step
Who comes to tarnish every joy
It's always alone that she struggles
May she find the strength not to end up at the bottom
'Cause if life is a fight, it can't find the weapons
Barely enough to contain her tears
In all of her being, such a need for love
Who grows every day
How much are they to hold?
To hold?
To clench your teeth because you can't smile
Strong in a refusal to give up, strong in the desire to hope
To hope that one day life will want to offer a future
In the meantime, hold on
What doesn't kill makes you stronger (x16)
They move on, they move on
overcoming their pain
They move on, they move on
By faith in the existence
