Mercy Lyrics in English Madame Monsieur

Picture this: a tiny baby opens her eyes for the very first time on a rescue boat rocking in the Mediterranean. Her mother has just fled a war-torn homeland, risking everything for the chance to save her unborn child. That baby’s name is Mercy — a name that sounds like the French word merci (thank you) and the English mercy (compassion). In the song, Mercy herself “speaks,” introducing us to her miraculous birth “au milieu de la mer” and reminding us that, although she survived, countless other children were swallowed by the waves.

Madame Monsieur turn Mercy’s story into an anthem of hope and solidarity. Behind the catchy, electro-pop beat lies a powerful plea: remember the real people hidden behind headlines about migrants and borders. Each refrain celebrates life (“On m’a tendu la main et je suis en vie”) while also challenging listeners to extend a helping hand. By blending gratitude, resilience, and a child’s innocent voice, the song transforms a tragic humanitarian crisis into a call for empathy that you can’t help but sing along to.
