J'ai Cherché Lyrics in English Amir

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J'ai Cherché by Amir from French to English.
You
You
I looked for meaning in my life
I left my innocence behind
I ended up with a defenseless heart
I looked for love and recognition
I paid the price of silence
I hurt myself and start again
You have
Like gave me the urge to be me
Gave meaning to my whys
You killed the fear
That slept there, that slept there
In my arms
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
I looked for meaning, a point of reference
Split between two hemispheres
Like a mistake of the universe
I threw so many bottles into the sea
I drank so many bitter liquors
That my lips have turned to stone
You have
Like gave me the urge to be me
Gave meaning to my whys
You killed the fear
That slept there, that slept there
In my arms
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
At the mercy of our wounds
And of our carelessness
It's when we don't believe in it at all anymore
That we find a lost paradise inside ourselves
you, you, you, you
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song
You
Like gave me the urge to be me
Gave meaning to my whys
You killed the fear
That slept there
That slept there
In my arms
You
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for you
Like the melody of my song
You

SONG MEANING

Amir’s “J’ai Cherché” is a hopeful anthem about turning personal struggle into strength through the power of love. The verses describe a long, lonely quest for purpose: he has sacrificed innocence, tossed countless "messages in a bottle," and tasted the bitterness of disappointment. Just when he feels split "in two hemispheres," someone special arrives and lights up his world. That person silences his fears, gives meaning to all his "whys," and becomes the steady beat that carries him forward—much like a catchy melody anchoring a song.

The chorus flips between French and English, mirroring Amir’s own multicultural flair and underscoring the universal message: we all search for connection, and when we finally find it, we feel stronger, braver, and more authentically ourselves. "You’re the one that’s making me strong" is repeated like a mantra, celebrating the transformative magic of love and reminding listeners that paradise often hides within us, waiting to be awakened by the right harmony.
