A Mi Manera Lyrics in English Ycare , Amel Bent

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Mi Manera by Ycare from French to English.
Always on my lips
A Prévert poem
Always a slight fever
From drinking too much yesterday
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Shirt unbuttoned
Yeah, I know it's winter
But my heart is tight
So I air it out
Ha, ha, ha, ha
If this anvil in the dark
Keeps me from leaving
I hold the pen of a story
I still have to write
I'm not short on time
I'm not short of air
My way, my way
Life, for me
Is a foreign language
My way, my way
But I'll have lived it my way
If my only talent
Is loving you
I naively thought
That'd be enough for you
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Success, glory
How much did you want them
But alone when night comes
Confetti, what do you do with it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Happiness takes time
To arrive, maybe
You just gotta believe
To see it appear
Yet I know
You're the last one
My way, my way
Life, for me
Is a foreign language
My way, my way
My way
But I'll have lived it my way
My way, my way
Life sounds like a foreign language
My way, my way
But I'll live it my way
My way, my way
Life, for me
Is a foreign language
My way, my way
But I'll have lived it my way
My way, my way
My way, my way
But I'll have lived it my way

SONG MEANING

In this vibrant Franco-Spanish duet, Ycare and Amel Bent celebrate the art of living à mi manera – in my own way. The singer wakes up with a hangover and a Prévert poem on his lips, shirt half-open even in winter, because his heart needs air. He feels life as if it were a foreign language, awkward yet exciting, and he clings to his own pen to finish writing his story. Fame, money, and confetti are tempting, but they fade at nightfall; what truly matters is love, hope, and daring to believe that happiness will appear if you keep looking for it.

The chorus rings out like a mantra: whatever happens, I will live on my terms. The song invites us to embrace imperfections, trust our unique rhythm, and speak life in our own accent. It is a playful, tender reminder that whether we stumble through new words or new adventures, authenticity is the most beautiful language of all.
