We liked to talk about the future and the empire that we will build
A wedding in the country, at the end of the world, we will leave
Your gaze reassures me, your shoulder tells me 'it will be fine'
Why the devil so clever, will time heal me?
I've been in denial for a long time, in denial for a long time
I have the answers to the questions spinning in my head
Only I was told you would defy the ban
I've been in denial for a long time, in denial for a long time
I have the answers to the questions spinning in my head
Only I was told you would defy the ban
Salam I don't want anymore, salam I don't want anymore
It's not easy life, salam I don't want more
You look for problems where there are none
You ruined everything I would have done for you
Salam I don't want anymore, salam I don't want anymore
Your demons don't take a break, they follow you through the night
Before everything implodes and you rub off on my life
Dreams snuffed out in flight, swept away in a tsunami
Words hard to say each one will resume the course of his life
I've been in denial for a long time, in denial for a long time
I have the answers to the questions spinning in my head
Only I was told you would defy the ban
I've been in denial for a long time, in denial for a long time
I have the answers to the questions spinning in my head
Only I was told you would defy the ban
Salam I don't want anymore, salam I don't want anymore
It's not easy life, salam I don't want more
You look for problems where there are none
You ruined everything I would have done for you
Salam I don't want anymore, salam I don't want anymore
(I don't want anymore, I don't want anymore
It's not easy life, I want more)

bâtira — will build

Bâtira is the future tense conjugation of the verb bâtir, meaning "to build". It's a strong and aspirational word that you might not encounter in every French song.

In the context of "Salam", the lyrics speak of building an empire and a future together: "On aimait parler du futur et de l'empire qu'on bâtira" (We loved talking about the future and the empire we will build). This word evokes themes of ambition, dreams, and creating something lasting, making it quite engaging.

"Salam" is Marwa Loud looking back on a relationship that used to feel full of promise and admitting it's over.

The song opens with the dream the couple once shared: a future together, a wedding, a new life far away. But that hope gives way to doubt, and the chorus keeps circling back to denial, to questions that won't stop turning in her head, and to a warning she was given but didn't listen to.

"Salam" itself is the goodbye. She's tired of being blamed for problems she didn't create, hurt by everything he wasted, and worn down watching him unravel and pull her down with him. By the end she's not asking for anything more. She's just done.
