Endless nights when you were putting on a show
Inside jokes that only we two know, you know the story
I see us in our bubble, we either hate each other or adore each other
Pretending to be adults, already envisioning ourselves on the moon
But time brings us back to Earth, it's true that it passes
In the whirlpool of life, like a wave that overwhelms us
If we dance well, we pause and erase
The question I ask you
Is it worth growing up?
Heart towards the past, eyes towards the future
Is it worth growing up?
I wonder, is it worth it?
Come on, let's stop before growing up
Unanswered questions, things I don't see coming
Come on, let's stop before growing up
I want to understand, is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Like a little melody, we were young and carefree
What life made of us is what we made of our lives
Who would have predicted what we would become today
I'll tell you a secret, I think back to that blessed time
When we had things to dream about
We had so much to prove to ourselves
We let childhood slip away
But who knows? Maybe to find it again
There were the charms of first times, the first girl, the beating heart
The first tears and the feeling that we would never heal from all of it
There were all those crazy laughs, we weren't afraid to say anything
Is it worth growing up?
Is it worth growing up?
Heart towards the past, eyes towards the future
Is it worth growing up?
I wonder, is it worth it?
Come on, let's stop before growing up
Unanswered questions, things I don't see coming
Come on, let's stop before growing up
I want to understand, is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
Is it worth it?
They say we fall back into childhood, but I say we rise towards childhood
How good it feels to taste our dreams
We had nothing, we were content, we wanted to go far
I close my eyes, I see the past from where we come
They say we fall back into childhood, but I say we rise towards childhood
How good it feels to taste our dreams
We had nothing, we were content, we wanted to go far
I close my eyes, I see the past from where we come
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
Is it worth it?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
Is it worth it?

grandirto grow up

Grandir means "to grow up" or "to get bigger." While it might seem like a common word, its central role in the song's title and chorus makes it incredibly impactful and thought-provoking.

Black M repeatedly asks, "Est-ce que ça vaut la peine de grandir?" (Is it worth it to grow up?). This question resonates deeply, exploring the bittersweet transition from childhood innocence to adult responsibilities. It's a universal theme that makes the song, and this word, particularly engaging.

"Grandir" ("To Grow Up") is a duet between Black M and Amir about looking back on childhood and adolescence with tenderness rather than regret.

The verses recall the small, specific joys of growing up together with someone: endless nights, inside jokes, first loves, first tears, and the carefree feeling of believing anything was possible. Time inevitably pulls the narrator back to the present, but he chooses to hold on to those memories rather than mourn them.

The hook, repeated throughout, asks the song's central question: "Est-ce que ça vaut la peine de grandir?" ("Is it worth growing up?"). Rather than answering with cynicism, the bridge turns the idea around: growing up doesn't mean losing childhood, it means rising back towards it, carrying its wonder forward instead of leaving it behind.
