TRADUCTION DE SURVIE

Je ne serai jamais un ange
Je ne serai jamais une sainte, c'est vrai
Je suis trop occupée à survivre
Que ce soit paradis ou l'enfer
Je vais vivre pour raconter
Alors, voici mon histoire, pas de risque, pas de gloire

Des hauts et des bas et tout autour
C'est une question de survie

Je ne serai jamais un ange
Je ne serai jamais une sainte, ce vrai
Je suis trop occupée à survivre
Que ce soit le paradis ou l'enfer
Je vais vivre pour raconter
Alors, voici ma question qui alimente vos critiques
Avez-vous déjà pris ce que vous ne pouvez pas voir
Eh bien si vous me donnez le respect
Alors vous saurez à quoi vous attendre
