Merci
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
In Emmanuel Moire's song Merci, the singer acknowledges the people who have caused him pain and difficulty in his life. He states that he gives his smile to those who have taken it away from him, his eyes to those who have made them clouded with tears, his happiness to those who have envied it, and his courage to those who have made him doubt himself. Moire asserts that even though these people may have left him feeling broken and damaged, there are things about him that they cannot take away. He declares that even in the midst of destruction, his laughter, body, mouth, and eyes won't be given or sold to anyone.
Moire goes on to say that he holds no grudges, and rather than harboring anger and resentment towards those who have hurt him, he thanks them for making him stronger. He extends his hands and fists to those who have tied them, gives his beat-up heart and honor to those who have forgotten about them, and even goes so far as to thank those who spit and trample on his path. Moire explains that experiencing these trials and tribulations has helped him develop a sense of resilience and determination that has further cemented his character. Ultimately, he gives thanks to the people who have caused him harm and recognizes that their misdeeds have contributed to his growth and ability to persevere.
