Translation of the song lyrics Qui tu es - Sylvie Vartan

Qui tu es (original)

Savoir donner avant de vouloir prendre
Savoir ecouter avant d’se faire entendre
Vouloir apprendre
Savoir aimer avant que d’etre aime
Et pardonner sans nulle arriere-pensee
Par amitie
Et reconnaitre que l’on pourrait avoir tort
Aussi admettre quelques desaccords
Et se remettre parfois en question
Que ce soit par action
Ou bien par omission
Lorsque tu seras tout ça
Alors tu sauras qui tu es
Ne pas aller contre sa propre nature
Et se relever aux chutes les plus dures
Et rester pur
S’il n’en reste qu’un
Etre celui-la
Etre taquin
Mais de bonne foi
Suivre sa loi
Savoir pleurer pour pouvoir consoler
Savoir vouloir et decider de rester
Un contre tous si l’on croit que c’est juste

(translation)

Knowing how to give before taking
Know how to listen before being heard
want to learn
Knowing how to love before being loved
And forgive without a second thought
By friendship
And recognize that we could be wrong
Also admit some disagreements
And sometimes question yourself
Whether by action
Or by omission
When you're all that
Then you will know who you are
Do not go against your own nature
And pick yourself up from the hardest falls
And stay pure
If there's only one left
be that one
be teasing
But in good faith
follow his law
To know how to cry in order to be able to console
Knowing how to want and decide to stay
One against all if you believe it's fair
