Pas Grandir Lyrics in English by Barbara Pravi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pas Grandir by Barbara Pravi from French to English.
Écoutez moi
Listen to me
Moi la chanteuse à demi
Me, the half-singer
Parlez de moi
Talk about me
À vos amours, à vos amis
To your loves, to your friends
Parlez-leur de cette fille aux yeux noirs
Talk to them about this girl with dark eyes
Et de son rêve fou
And about her crazy dream
Moi c'que j'veux c'est écrire des histoires
What I want is to write stories
Qui arrivent jusqu'à vous
That reach you
C'est tout
That's all
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Here's, here's, here's, here's who I am
Me voilà même si mise à nue j'ai peur, oui
Here I am even if exposed I'm scared, yes
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence
Here I am in the noise and in the silence
Regardez moi
Look at me
Ou du moins ce qu'il en reste
Or at least what's left
Regardez moi
Look at me
Avant que je me déteste
Before I hate myself
Quoi vous dire, que les lèvres d'une autre
What to tell you, that another's lips
Ne vous diront pas
Won't tell you
C'est peu de chose mais moi tout ce que j'ai
It's little but everything I have
Je le dépose là, voilà
I lay it down here, there you go
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Here's, here's, here's, here's who I am
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
Here I am even if exposed it's over
C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri, me voilà tant pis
It's my face, it's my cry, here I am, too bad
Voilà, voilà, voilà
Here, here, here
Voilà juste ici
Here, just here
Moi mon rêve, mon envie
Me, my dream, my desire
Comme j'en crève comme j'en ris
As I'm dying from it, as I'm laughing from it
Me voilà dans le bruit
Here I am in the noise
Et dans le silence
And in the silence
Ne partez pas
Don't leave
J'vous en supplie, restez longtemps
I beg you, stay a long time
Ça m'sauvera p't'être pas, non
It might not save me, no
Mais faire sans vous j'sais pas comment
But to do without you I don't know how
Aimez-moi comme on aime un ami
Love me like one loves a friend
Qui s'en va pour toujours
Who leaves forever
J'veux qu'on m'aime parce que moi je sais pas
I want to be loved because I don't know how
Bien aimer mes contours
To truly love my shape
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Here's, here's, here's, here's who I am
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
Here I am even if exposed it's over
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans la fureur aussi
Here I am in the noise and in the fury too
Regardez moi enfin et mes yeux et mes mains
Look at me finally, my eyes and my hands
Tout c'que j'ai est ici, c'est ma gueule c'est mon cri
Everything I have is here, it's my face, it's my cry
Me voilà, me voilà, me voilà
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Voilà, voilà
Here, here
Voilà, voilà
Here, here
Voilà!
Here!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
gueule — mouth / face (slang)
Gueule is a fascinating word because it has multiple meanings and is often used in informal or slang contexts. While it can literally mean the mouth of an animal, when applied to a person, it's a colloquial term for "face" or "mug," often carrying a slightly rough or defiant connotation.
In Barbara Pravi's song, she declares, "C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri," which translates to "It's my face, it's my cry." Here, "ma gueule" isn't just her physical face; it represents her authentic self, her identity, and her raw expression. It's a powerful and unapologetic statement of self-acceptance and vulnerability, making it a very engaging word for learners.
