Merci
Claire Joseph; Emmanuel Moire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A ceux qui l'ont un jour volé
Je donne mon regard
A ceux qui l'ont rendu voilé
Je donne à ceux qui ne savent pas, que même en cendres
Ma bouche ou mes yeux ne sont à prendre
Je donne mon bonheur
Je donne mon courage
A tous ceux qui mon fait douter
Je donne à ceux qui ne savent pas, que même en cendres
Mon rire ou mon corps ne sont à vendre
Merci
Encore
D'avoir eu tous les torts
Merci
Encore
La rage me rend plus fort
Je tends les mains, les deux poings
A ceux qui les ont lié
Je tends mon cœur, mon honneur
Oubliés
Je donne aussi le temps passé à me défendre
Quant à l'amour, je sais très bien à qui le rendre
Merci
Encore
D'avoir eu tous les torts
Merci
Encore
La rage me rend plus fort
Merci
(Merci) Merci à ceux qui crachent sur ma route
Merci à ceux qui gâchent et qui s'en foutent
Remercie même à genoux
Remercie même sous les coups
(Merci) Merci à ceux qui crachent sur ma route
(Encore) Merci à ceux qui gâchent et qui s'en foutent
(D'avoir eu tous les torts) Remercie même à genoux
Remercie même sous les coups
Merci (Merci)
Encore (Encore)
La rage me rend plus fort
Merci
Encore
D'avoir eu tous les torts
Merci
Encore
La rage me rend plus fort

However, he also expresses that some things cannot be taken away or sold, such as his laughter and his body, as they belong only to him.
The chorus of the song repeatedly expresses a message of thanks, acknowledging those who have caused him harm or wronged him - thanking them for having been in the wrong and allowing him to grow stronger through his pain and anger. Despite the hurt caused by those individuals, Moire is still grateful for the lessons they've taught him and acknowledges their presence in his life.
