Tonight - Sadek, Leslie

Des fois j’me demande si je réaliserai mes rêves

Alors j'écris, du matin au soir, j'écris

Maman on y est presque, ton fils passe à la radio

Depuis la crèche j’reste fidèle à mes idéaux

Cette nuit j’ai fait un rêve: tes douleurs disparaissent

J’me suis réveillé, et t’avais toujours ton mal de dos

Mon nom sur l’affiche, mais j’traîne en bas des halls

La voix des anges m’apaise, j’veux les entendre chanter haut

L’avenir a les dents jaunes j’ai lu ça dans la presse

Un jour on sera là-haut, pour l’instant on mange les restes

Et j’continue à m’battre, jusqu’au dernier acte

La vie mon théâtre, trop vrai pour être acteur

Des blessures des marques, des reines sans monarque

Trop de flèches à mon arc, prévenez mes détracteurs

J’vous le dis j’ai le seum !

Moi on m’a laissé tout seul

Personne du berceau au linceul

Et s’ils me veulent, bah j’ai que mon coeur et mon gun

Car je sais qu’il ne doit en rester qu’un seul, seul !

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn’t blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

J’ai la rage de vivre, c’est mon seul héritage

J’fais pousser des rimes j’en ai tout un champ lexical

Au bord du précipice, nombreux ne m’apprécient pas

Pourquoi m’occuper d’eux?

Le temps les éliminera

Un jour mon heure viendra, j’me demande qui pleurera

J’espère être en paix, quand mon âme me quittera

Ici on croit aux miracles, ils alimentent nos prières

Aujourd’hui j’me bats pour que demain ne soit pas comme hier

J’suis cette rivière d’espoir qui coule dans tes écouteurs

J’continue d’rêver, d’vant une armée de Freddy Krueger

Et avec ma Tucker, j’fais crier les soupapes

J’peux partir à toute heure rejoindre Biggie et 2Pac

Mais j’attends qu’ils viennent, que la Faucheuse me prenne

Devant les portes de l’Enfer je traîne

Regarde-moi je saigne, mais avant d’monter au ciel

J’veux garder, que l’amour plus de haine

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn’t blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Malgré toutes ces épreuves, j’ai décidé d’avancer

Le chemin est tracé, les erreurs appartiennent au passé

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn’t blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Nos angoisses et nos peines, on les confie au ciel

Les anges nous observent, nos faiblesses nous enchaînent

On dissimule nos rêves, toute la nuit on traîne

La vie nous enseigne, on s’y ressent les mains pleines

Sometimes I wonder if I'll make my dreams come true

So I write, from morning till night I write

Mom we're almost there, your son is on the radio

Since the nursery I stay true to my ideals

Last night I had a dream: your pain disappears

I woke up, and you still had your back pain

My name on the poster, but I hang out down the halls

The voice of the angels soothes me, I want to hear them sing loud

The future has yellow teeth I read that in the press

One day we'll be up there, for now we eat the leftovers

And I continue to fight, until the last act

Life my theatre, too real to be an actor

Mark wounds, queens without a monarch

Too many arrows to my bow, warn my detractors

I tell you I have the seum!

I was left all alone

Person from cradle to shroud

And if they want me, well I only have my heart and my gun

For I know there must be only one, only one!

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn't blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

I have the rage to live, it's my only legacy

I grow rhymes I have a whole lexical field

On the edge of the precipice, many don't like me

Why bother with them?

Time will wear them out

One day my time will come, I wonder who will cry

I hope to be at peace, when my soul leaves me

Here we believe in miracles, they fuel our prayers

Today I fight so that tomorrow won't be like yesterday

I am this river of hope that flows in your headphones

I keep dreaming, in front of an army of Freddy Krueger

And with my Tucker, I make the valves scream

I can leave at any time to join Biggie and 2Pac

But I'm waiting for them to come, for the Grim Reaper to take me

Before the gates of Hell I drag

Look at me I'm bleeding, but before going up to the sky

I want to keep, love no more hate

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn't blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Despite all these hardships, I decided to move forward

The path is set, mistakes are a thing of the past

You can be a king, living in a fairytale

You can be a lion, living for redemption

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

You can be a flame, that nobody couldn't blaze

You can be a devil,

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Go higher, you can do better

Your fire, fire is your empire

Our anxieties and our sorrows, we entrust them to the sky

Angels watch us, our weaknesses bind us

We hide our dreams, all night we hang around

Life teaches us, it feels like hands full
