Rise Up
Undah-Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
Pour panser mes maux
Ta fierté est toujours ce qu'il me faut
Tant de secret, de blessures, peur de te perdre trop tôt
Certaines erreurs sont comme des cassures et on en fait trop
Je me souviens de chaque mot et je m'en sers à chaque fois
Tu le sais, je perds parfois confiance en ma voix, mes mots
Je ressens souvent ta bienveillance même au coeur du chaos
J'ai perdu l'insouciance mais je reprendrai le flambeau
Je me souviens de chaque mot et je m'en sers à chaque fois
Tu es la première, tu nous juges par nos fautes, car nos malheurs sont les notres
On n'a qu'une seule mère, je serai toujours son hôte, car cet avenir est le notre
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Pardonne moi!
Mon orgueil me rend fou et me perdra
Je ne peux plus accepter de te voir à chaque fois humiliée
Par des hommes qui n'ont plus de principes, plus d'amour à donner
Gestes contre nature pour du pouvoir et quelques billets
J'essaie d'apprendre à nos enfants comment mieux t'écouter
On n'a qu'une seule mère j'aimerais me perdre dans ses bras
Si elle nous rejette c'est qu'elle n'a plus le choix
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Ya lribede! Ya lribede!
Témeuss te keur noukni n'tfaridj!
Ya lribede! Ya lribede!
Témeuss te keur noukni n'tfaridj!
Aryitchour oughebagh!
Donne nous le microphone que l'on revienne s'exprimer
Nous sommes de cette école où les DJ's militaient
Défendre le nature, nos droits, nos valeurs et nos idées
Si parfois on se répète, c'est que rien ne semble changer
Dis moi ce qu'il faudrait pour satisfaire tous les hommes?
Ils n'ont jamais assez même quand ils sont au summum
Voit passer les années sans que rien ne s'ordonne
Et quitte à tout brûler on exploite tout au maximum
Et j'entends chanter: ya lribede! Ya lribede!
Wise up again, so listen, stand up again
Itchroul agheubagh! Itchroul agheubagh!
Rise up again, so my friend sing it again
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
Gonna rise up in the morning
'Cause I want to survive!
I'm gonna keep on driving, decide to stay alive!
See the world is a temple, I don't wanna live in a jungle!
