Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Présidente by Axelle Red from French to English.
Loin d' être abattue
Far from being defeated
Pas ivre de haine
Not drunk with hatred
Elle a cette force retenue
She has this retained strength
Presque surhumaine
Almost superhuman
Sur le chemin de l' érrance
On the path of wandering
L âme broyée
The crushed soul
Vitriolée, dieu le sait
Vitriolated, God knows
On lui a tout enlevé
Everything was taken away from him
Que l' orage va se dissiper
That the storm will dissipate
Et rien ne pourra l' arrêter
And nothing can stop him
Ni blame scande
Neither blame chant
Ni guerres, frontières barbelées
No wars, barbed borders
Censures des idées
Censorship of ideas
Toute fière elle ressuscite
All proud she resurrects
Style combattante
Fighter style
Elle hésite encore romancière
She still hesitates as a novelist
Que l' orage va se dissiper
That the storm will dissipate
Quoi qu' il en est
Whatever it is
Outrancière, visionaire
Outrageous, visionary
Sa cause dérangeante, marrante
Its disturbing, funny cause
Son pays immergé
His submerged country
Dans ses racines
In its roots
Bref celle d' une présidente
In short, that of a president
Je voterai pour elle
I will vote for her
