Le Monde Qui Est Le Mien Lyrics in English Emmanuel Dahl

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Monde Qui Est Le Mien by Emmanuel Dahl from French to English.
Son!
You shouldn't take it too much to heart
Those people's mockery!
But Dad, they're right! I'm an idiot
I try to fit in, I swear to you
I can't
Sometimes I feel that
this country isn't mine and that
I should go live
somewhere else
Hercules! Son
I know it makes no sense
I've often dreamed of a far-off land
Where everyone would love me like
the most precious of friends
A thousand echoes of their joy rise endlessly
And their voices sing inside me
You were born for this life
I take the path of my childhood dream
Toward tomorrows, to a glorious fate
Among the stars, I seek the ideal
This world I belong to
that is still far away
Hercules, there's something
that your mother and I have for a long
time wanted to tell you
But if you found me
then where did I come from
Why was I abandoned
This was around your
neck when we found you
It's the symbol of the Gods
yes, that's it
You see, maybe they have the answer!
I'll go to Zeus' temple and Mom, Dad
You're the best parents
a son could have but
I-I have to be sure
It's a beautiful morning to seize this chance
that takes me far away, toward other destinies
So that on the way, I finally discover
what my heart seeks in vain
the world that's mine!

SONG MEANING

Le Monde Qui Est Le Mien drops us into an intimate father-son talk where young Hercule confesses he feels like a total misfit. Bullies tease him, he doubts his worth, and he wonders if the country he calls home is really “his.” Yet a spark of hope glows inside: he dreams of a distant place where people will welcome him as a treasured friend. Sweeping orchestral lines mirror those soaring ambitions, turning his self-doubt into a quest for belonging.

When his parents reveal a mysterious medallion stamped with the symbol of the gods, that dream suddenly feels possible. Determined to uncover his origins, Hercule heads for the temple of Zeus, convinced the answers lie beyond the horizon. The song celebrates identity, courage, and the universal urge to find where we truly belong. As the chorus lifts, you can almost see him striding toward the stars, reminding every listener that the world meant for you is out there—sometimes you just have to rise and go claim it!
