I'm the White one
Like they call me
Sometimes the Black one
Like they love to let me know
But if my skin shines in the sun
It's not the color of ebony
I'm the White one
With a honey Afro
Sometimes the Black one
With blue eyes like the sky
But if I dance to Dibango
I sing Vesoul and Brussels
Same, same
I'm the White one
The African way
I may know it
That word hurts me
'Cause if for my brothers
I'm a stranger
What's my place
My place on this Earth?
My roots are immense
A blend, multiple and sublime
That weaves bonds like a flag
Mixes the ties like a torch
I'll live as a nomad
To the ends of the world
The world
I'll live with no luggage
To better understand the world
The world
I'm the White one
Like they call me
Sometimes the Black one
Like they love to let me know
And if my skin shines in the sun
It's 'cause all the colors mingle
Colors that mingle
The White one
The White one
The White one
The White one

SONG MEANING

Lubiana's La Blanche invites us on a vibrant quest for identity. The singer playfully confronts the confusing labels others stick on her — “la Blanche,” “la Noire” — and flips them into a celebration of every shade in between. With sun-kissed skin, honey-tight curls, and sky-blue eyes, she dances to Manu Dibango while singing French classics, proving that her cultural playlist is as mixed as her heritage. The chorus rings out like a joyful protest: if my skin glows in the sun, it is because all the colors mingle inside me.

The song blossoms into a manifesto of freedom. Lubiana stretches her “immense roots” across continents, refusing to be boxed in. She chooses a nomad’s life — no baggage, only curiosity — to better understand the world and weave new connections. La Blanche ultimately shines as an anthem for anyone who feels caught between categories, reminding us that our blended backgrounds are not contradictions but bright banners to wave with pride.
