On a bien reçu le message

On est pas de votre temps, yeah

Non mais en attendant l'âge
No but while waiting to grow up
On fait toujours un peu semblant
We always pretend a little
Mais si on traîne un peu les pieds
But if we drag our feet a little
Ce n'est pas qu'on manque d'envie
It's not that we lack desire
C'est juste que notre voix à nous
It's just that our own voice
On ne l'a pas encore trouvé
We haven't found it yet
On ne l'a pas encore trouvé
We haven't found it yet

Car il y a des choses
Because there are things
Il y a des choses écrites au sang
There are things written in blood
C'est juste que notre voix à nous
It's just that our own voice
On ne l'a pas encore trouvé on ne l'a pas encore trouvé
We haven't found it yet, we haven't found it yet
On veux bien faire, pour mieux refaire
We want to do well, to do better again

There's silence
Qui sait tout dire
That says it all
Celui la après la tempête

Celui qui nous apprend mais nous reste sous la peau

Did you like this lyrics translation?
semblant — pretense
Semblant translates to "pretense" or "acting". It's an interesting word because it captures the idea of putting on a front or faking something, which is a common human experience but not always expressed so directly in song lyrics.
In the song, M. Pokora sings, "On fait toujours un peu semblant" (We always act a little bit). This suggests a theme of youth trying to navigate expectations and perhaps pretending to be older or more mature than they are, making it a relatable and thought-provoking word choice.
