VERSUS Lyrics in English Vitaa , Slimane

Home / Lyrics Translation / Vitaa / VERSUS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song VERSUS by Vitaa from French to English.

Hi! I'm Slimane

I won season five of The Voice

With a Vitaa song called 'A Fleur de Toi'

It was truly an incredible experience

And tonight I'm actually here to try my luck again

'Cause I heard Vitaa was a coach

I had a lot to tell her

Because when I did the show

Everything went so fast and

I started to lose myself a bit

And she showed up and

Suddenly everything felt simpler with her

She doesn't really know it but she kinda saved me

I never really dared tell her

Tonight I'm here to sing her a song

Tell her the truth

I just hope she'll hear me

Tonight, sister, I needed to open up

Sorry in advance if it hurts you

After the storm, the sky clears

Right now, I need to tell my story

How can I tell you, brother, that deep down I knew it

We're telling everything tonight, but I was watching you

We bumped into each other the first time a few years ago

I never said it but that day you moved me

Who would've thought that one day I'd tell you everything?

You gotta know I'm raw when it comes to us

That I thank heaven for putting you on my path

It was written, it was certain, it was fate

You took my heartfelt words, elevated my song

Anybody else had done it, I'd have turned the sound down

I was in my car, someone told me to listen

From the first notes, never told you, my tears rolled

I've got so many things to tell you too

People only see from me what I let them see

Nobody knows but in this life I disappoint myself so much

Maybe in another life I'll really own it

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

I've never had confidence in myself

I move through a life of doubt

And in the yard I heard them all putting me down

Don't give a f*ck about their game, I dream of taking a turn

They dream of fame while at night I dream of turning off the screen

I pull way too many all-nighters, I know you see it

My eyes go bloodshot red when things aren't okay

When I'm asked, I pose for the pic, throw a salaam to the bro

But deep down I'm so uncomfortable in my skin

These days the night is my wife, my kid and my mother

If you knew all the times I ended up alone on the ground

I've drunk it all, taken it all, seen it all, said nothing

I screamed, I cried, to love, to life

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

If you knew how it explodes in my head

How my heart races when I skid off track

How many times I've wanted to stop it all

Blow it all up, start over

So many people think I'm showing off

If you knew what I tell Him five times a day

I'll end up quitting everything like Mélanie

She's at peace, if you knew how I envy her

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

I'm the kind who hides

When things go wrong, I can break everything

Since that time, I'd given up

Why am I scared of screwing it all up

Sometimes I'm afraid and I snap

Life has slapped me around

Tell me what's the point in hurting and then keeping quiet?

SONG MEANING

Vitaa and Slimane turn their life stories into an emotional tag-team match in “VERSUS.” The two French stars look back on the moment Slimane won The Voice by singing Vitaa’s classic “À Fleur de Toi,” then fast-forward to today where they finally confess everything they never dared to say. Over pulsing piano chords, Slimane admits that fame made him lose himself, while Vitaa reveals she was silently crying in her car the first time she heard his cover. Instead of battling each other, their real opponent is self-doubt, loneliness, and the pressure of always smiling for the cameras.

The chorus feels like a therapeutic mantra: both artists drop their masks, owning up to panic attacks, sleepless nights, and the urge to smash everything when life hits too hard. By sharing their darkest thoughts, they prove that speaking up is stronger than suffering in silence. “VERSUS” is not a fight between friends; it is a victory over the fear of opening up, wrapped in a powerhouse duet that invites listeners to do the same.
