Alter Ego Lyrics in English by M. Pokora
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alter Ego by M. Pokora from French to English.
Je cacherai pas ce qui reste de nous deux
I won't hide what's left of us
En un regard je lis dans tes yeux
In one look, I read in your eyes
Même si le temps qui passe nous dévore
Even if passing time devours us
Perdu vite mais j'aime vivre au bord
Quickly lost, but I like living on the edge
Je tiens à ta vie, ma main dans la tienne
I care about your life, my hand in yours
Malgré les coups durs, les mots, les ratures
Despite the tough times, the words, the mistakes
On garde l'envie, on reste les mêmes
We keep wanting, we remain the same
Avant que tout disparaisse
Before everything disappears
Alter ego
Alter ego
Moi c'est toi et t'es ce qu'il me faut
I am you, and you're what I need
Même si tu tombes j'te lâcherai pas ah ah
Even if you fall, I won't let go of you ah ah
Même si le monde tourne plus sans toi ah ah
Even if the world doesn't turn without you anymore ah ah
À l'autre bout de moi, de là ce que je vois
On the other side of me, from there what I see
À l'autre bout de moi, de là ce que je vois
On the other side of me, from there what I see
La seule en qui je crois ah ah
The only one I believe in ah ah
Quand tout vole en éclats ah ah
When everything shatters ah ah
Je ne cacherai pas le temps qu'il nous reste
I won't hide the time we have left
Un enfant, toi comme dernière promesse
A child, you as a last promise
Moi depuis petit, je vois tout en grand
Since I was little, I see everything on a grand scale
Je t'ai dans la peau, oui je t'ai dans le sang
I have you under my skin, yes I have you in my blood
Je tiens à ta vie, ma main dans la tienne
I care about your life, my hand in yours
Malgré les coups durs, les mots, les ratures
Despite the tough times, the words, the mistakes
On garde l'envie, on reste les mêmes
We keep wanting, we remain the same
Avant que tout disparaisse
Before everything disappears

éclats — shards / pieces
Éclats literally means 'shards' or 'pieces', often referring to fragments of something that has broken or shattered. It's a more evocative word than simply 'pieces', suggesting a dramatic breaking apart.
In the song, M. Pokora sings, "Quand tout vole en éclats" (When everything flies into pieces/shatters). He uses this powerful image to describe moments of crisis or when things fall apart, emphasizing the emotional impact of such events. It's a word that conveys intensity and vulnerability.
