Translation of the song lyrics Mon Everest - Soprano, Marina Kaye

Mon Everest (original)

J’ai grimpé, j’ai grimpé, j’ai grimpé sans lâcher mes principes et mes valeurs
Jamais j’oublierais d’où je viens je sais ce que c’est d'être un homme de
couleur
Je sais ce que c’est de taffer deux fois plus pour pouvoir être à la hauteur
Si je chante la cosmopolitanie c’est parce que j’en ai vu de toutes les couleurs
On m’a dit, on m’a dit «Petit, réveille-toi t’es un peu trop rêveur
Petit tu as un trop gros appétit la réalité est fade et sans saveur
Oublie tes rêves d’ados, comme tout le monde suis le troupeau»
Mais le têtu que j'étais avait de la détermination plein le sac à dos
Aucune de leurs dissuasions m’a mis le genou à terre
Aucun médecin au monde ne pouvait soigner ma fièvre
Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es
Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es
Aujourd’hui regarde-moi contempler mes sacrifices au sommet de mon Everest
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
J’ai chanté, j’ai chanté, j’ai chanté l’amour et la paix pendant des années
Je suis ce mélancolique qui se soigne quand ses M-A-U-X se mettent à rimer
Un rappeur positif pour donner de l’espoir à cette jeunesse désabusée
À l’heure où on nous braque avec un AK 49.3 pour nous faire plier
Ma famille, ma famille, ma famille tout roule pour moi car ce sont mes moteurs
Mon carré VIP c’est mon cercle familial, pour eux j’brillais avant les
projecteurs
I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Alléluia)
Mon image, mon discours, mon parcours, mon combat, tout ça c’est pour pouvoir
leur faire honneur
Le cancer m’a volé un frère il n’y a que mes gosses pour éponger mes pleurs
Toujours debout à chanter que l’amour est le meilleur fusil contre la terreur
Je le décharge quand je chante, dans une MJC ou dans les Restos du Cœur
J’suis de retour plus humain que jamais envoyez-moi des sourires plus que des
fleurs
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
For who I am
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es
Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es
Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es
Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es

Mon Everest (translation)

I climbed, I climbed, I climbed without letting go of my principles and my values
I'll never forget where I'm from I know what it's like to be a man of
color
I know what it's like to work twice as hard so I can measure up
If I sing cosmopolitanism it's because I've seen all the colors
They told me, they told me "Child, wake up you're a little too dreamy
Child you have too big an appetite reality is bland and tasteless
Forget your teenage dreams, as everyone follows the herd"
But stubborn me had my backpack full of determination
None of their deterrents brought me down on my knees
No doctor in the world could cure my fever
Anything is possible when you know who you are
Anything is possible when you own who you are
Today watch me contemplate my sacrifices on top of my Everest
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
I've been singing, singing, singing about love and peace for years
I'm that melancholy who cures himself when his M-A-U-X start to rhyme
A positive rapper to give hope to this disillusioned youth
At a time when we are held up with an AK 49.3 to make us fold
My family, my family, my family it's all rolling for me 'cause they're my engines
My VIP square is my family circle, for them I shone before the
spotlights
I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Hallelujah)
My image, my speech, my journey, my fight, all of this is to be able
honor them
Cancer robbed me of a brother only my kids can wipe my tears
Always up singing that love is the best gun against terror
I discharge it when I sing, in a MJC or in the Restos du Cœur
I'm back more human than ever send me smiles more than smiles
flowers
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
This time I know I fight for who I am
I know, I know, I know, I know
For who I am
I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want
I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight
Fight, fight for who I am
And I will
Anything is possible when you know who you are
Anything is possible when you own who you are
Anything is possible when you know who you are
Anything is possible when you own who you are
