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 lived for this

And you wonder if I deserve it

I was fifteen, already dreaming

Who's gonna bet on the kid

Sold one million, two million

Soon three million

I'm past thirty-eight

I'm like a track that never stops

I build my life like a hit

No, nothing surprises me anymore

Around me it's America

My heart aches when I think of the kids

Lord, make them get the spark

We stay strong when it gets tough

We don't quit, that's the motto

I'm tortured, gotta explain to you

I wanna grow old

Like a classic

F*ck, there's nobody left

Tells right from wrong anymore

Wrong and right, wrong and right

With these voices in my head

In front of you I pretend I'm fine

Pretend I'm fine, pretend I'm fine

I don't trust anybody now

When the same blood can betray you

If there's no Vitaa, there'll be nobody

I'll be Charlotte when I die

I've got questions

But nobody 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 who I'd like to be

So many lies I promise myself

I suffer in silence but I know it

I'm gonna blow it all up, yeah

I keep praying, but I'm stuck

Some sins just won't fade

When I leave it'll be without warning

Nothing will hold me back anymore

Of course I'll have regrets

But I'll keep writing

I've sung my whole life inside

Some things never change

I'd like to be sure but I hesitate

And my soul resists

I'm not even the one deciding anymore

Not me anymore

I loved the game, I loved success

I loved the dreams

I loved making them real

I wish I'd hated

That it comes out of my heart

I wish I'd tamed them

But passion wins

Stop

They told me, "you sing well"

It's your body you have to bank on

You tell your life story

But pity alone isn't enough

A woman in a world of pervs

Be pretty to sell CDs

I'm telling you they tried

I chose to make you cry

Even if the story's beautiful

I can barely breathe

When I leave, it'll be without warning

No one to hold me back

Fifteen years I've lived for this

And 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.
