Charlotte Lyrics in English Vitaa

Home / Lyrics Translation / Vitaa / Charlotte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Charlotte by Vitaa from French to English.

Fifteen years I've been living for this

You wonder if I deserve it

I was fifteen, already dreaming

Who will bet on the little one

Sold a million, two million

Soon three million

I'm thirty-eight

I'm like a sound that doesn't stop

I'm building my life like a hit

No, nothing surprises me anymore

Around me, it's America

Heartache when I think of the children

Lord, make them have the breakthrough

We stay strong when it gets complicated

We don't give up, it's the lexicon

I'm tormented, I need to explain to you

I want to grow old

Like a classic

Damn, there's no one left

Who can tell the difference between good and evil

Good and evil, good and evil

With these voices in my head

In front of you, I pretend to be fine

Pretend to be fine, pretend to be fine

I trust no one anymore

When the same blood can betray you

There's no Vitaa, there will be no one

I'll be Charlotte when I die

I have questions

But there's no one to answer them

But it's logical

Yeah, it's logical

What you don't say

You imagine it without feeling it

So far from the one I would like to be

So many lies that I promise myself

I suffer in silence but I know it

I'm going to mess everything up, yeah

I pray in vain, I'm stuck

There are sins that don't fade away

When I leave, it's without warning

There will be nothing left to hold me back

Obviously, I will have regrets

But I will still write

I've sung all my life inside

Some things never change

I want to be sure but I hesitate

And my soul resists

It's not even me deciding anymore

It's not me anymore

I loved the game, I loved the success

I loved the dreams

I loved making them come true

I would have wanted to hate

For it to leave my heart

I would have wanted to tame them

But passion wins

Stop

They told me you sing well

It's your body they should bet on

You tell your life story

But it's not enough to pity yourself

A woman in a world of obsessed people

Be beautiful to sell CDs

I'm telling you they tried

I preferred to make you cry

Even if the story is beautiful

I struggle to breathe

When I leave, it's without warning

No one to hold me back

Fifteen years I've been living for this

You wonder if I deserve it

SONG MEANING

“Charlotte” is Vitaa’s raw, soul-searching diary entry set to music. In it, the French star rewinds fifteen years of fame and asks the question that still haunts her: do I really deserve all this? She contrasts sold-out success with private turmoil, revealing how trust can crumble, voices can crowd your mind, and the glitter of the “game” can mask deep insecurities. The singer switches between her stage persona (Vitaa) and her real self (Charlotte), reminding us that when the spotlight fades, only the true person remains.

The track blends confession, critique, and motivation. Vitaa celebrates the thrill of turning teenage dreams into million-selling hits, yet pulls back the curtain on industry pressures: “be beautiful to sell CDs.” Instead of giving in, she chose lyrics that make listeners feel. She vows to age “like a classic,” to leave without warning if the passion ever dies, and to keep writing no matter the regrets. The takeaway is powerful: fame is temporary, authenticity is forever, and music is her lifeline when everything else feels uncertain.
