I'll fly away even with one less wing
In this game I put water in my wine
I know very well that it won't be easy
But I'm a soldier like the lady
I may be living my last moments
Around me it's not like before
They only have one goal: to reach me
They know that I'm going to turn them off
To win their hearts, wAllah, I did everything
I finished with a sinking heart
Despite that I remained true
My truth is not their truth
Among the wild beasts, I have never bled
I'm not losing my mind, I'm the sword of Damocles
When I think for so many years
I should have left since then
Without going back and forth, round and round, round and round
I closed it for so many years
Locked up like a condemned man
It's my turn, my turn
When I think for so many years
I should have left since then
Without going back and forth, going back and forth
I closed it for so many years
Locked up like a condemned man
It's my turn, my turn
On my way I had to give up
All the people who stopped me from moving forward
Before I learned how many times you killed my back
You weren't sorry
I've been trying to get by for so many years
The heart darkened like a condemned man
I spin in the void a bit like a vinyl
If it's not me, no one will blackmail me
I haven't said anything for so many years
I closed it for so many years
When I think for so many years
I should have left since then
Without going back and forth, round and round, round and round
I closed it for so many years
Locked up like a condemned man
It's my turn, my turn
When I think for so many years
I should have left since then
Without going back and forth, going back and forth
I closed it for so many years
Locked up like a condemned man
It's my turn, my turn
I had to work, what I have was not given to me
Determined, my friend it's been years
I saw them leave when it was time to stay
With or without them, I will continue my path
I had to work, what I have was not given to me
Determined, my friend it's been years
I saw them leave when it was time to stay
With or without them, I will continue my path

daronnemom / mother

Daronne is a French slang term for "mother" or "mom". It's a familiar and somewhat informal way to refer to one's mother, often used in a context that implies respect or endearment, especially in urban or youth culture.

In the song, the artist sings, "Mais j'suis un soldat comme la daronne" (But I'm a soldier like mom). This line is particularly interesting because it elevates the mother figure to that of a "soldier," suggesting strength, resilience, and determination. It's a powerful and relatable image that adds depth to the artist's character and motivation.

Get ready for a powerful anthem of resilience and self-empowerment! In "Tant D'années," which means "So Many Years," Lyna Mahyem looks back on a long period of feeling silenced and held back. She sings about being a "soldat" (soldier) who has fought through tough times, even when it meant compromising and trying to please others, which left her with a "cœur étouffé" (suffocated heart).

The song is a declaration of freedom. After years of feeling "enfermée comme un condamné" (locked up like a convict), she realizes she should have left negative situations and people behind long ago. Now, she's taking control, cutting off anyone who prevents her from moving forward. It's a powerful message that no matter the obstacles, it's finally her turn to shine: "C'est à mon tour" (It's my turn).
