My parents taught me to smile
So I smile for hours
I smile when I cry
I smile when I'm scared
I didn't learn to say
What's inside me
Am I in the wrong
It's stuck to my skin
One day I'll have the courage
To show them who I am
Reveal my real face
And finally tell them thank you
To all those people around me
Without whom I wouldn't be here
Without remorse and without detours
I finally say thank you
My friends taught me to open up
So I talk for hours
I speak with my heart
I'm not scared anymore
I still can't read
What's inside me
But the voices in my head
Will soon disappear
One day I'll have the courage
To show them who I am
Reveal my real face
And finally tell them thank you
To all those people around me
Without whom I wouldn't be here
Without remorse and without detours
I finally say thank you
One day I'll have the courage
One day I'll have the courage
One day I'll have the courage
One day I'll have the courage
One day I'll have the courage
The courage, the courage
One day I'll have the courage
To face all my demons
My parents who are getting older
And ask their forgiveness
One day I'll have the courage
Before they're gone
My parents who are getting older
To finally tell them thank you
One day I'll have the courage
To show them who I am
Reveal my real face
And finally tell them thank you
To all those people around me
Without whom I wouldn't be here
Without remorse and without detours
I finally say thank you
One day I'll have the courage

SONG MEANING

“Courage” is an uplifting dance track where Adèle & Robin transform vulnerability into a vibrant call for self-acceptance: the narrator begins by admitting she was taught to smile through everything, even tears and fear, yet never learned to voice what lives inside her. Surging synths and a driving beat mirror her growing determination as she promises that one day she will dare to reveal her true face, thank the friends who encouraged her to open up, and express overdue gratitude to aging parents while asking their pardon for past silence. Repeating the mantra “Un jour j’aurai le courage” (One day I will have courage) turns doubt into a rhythmic affirmation, reminding listeners that bravery is a journey fueled by love, honesty, and the people who stand beside us.
