'Mercy' by Madame Monsieur ( Emilie Satt & Jean-karl Lucas ) via Low Wood label.
I was born this morning
My name is Mercy.
In the middle of the sea, between two countries
Mercy
It was a long way and Mom took it.
She had me in her skin for eight and a half months.
Oh, yeah, eight and a half months.
We left the house it was war.
Sure she was right.
There was nothing to lose.
Oh, no, except for life.
I was born this morning, my name is Mercy.
I've been reached out and I'm alive.
I'm all those kids that the sea has taken over
I would live a hundred thousand years
My name is Mercy.
If it is urgent to be born, understand also
That it is urgent to be reborn, when all is destroyed
Mercy
And there in front of our eyes was the enemy
A blue immensity may be infinite
But yes, we knew the price of it.
Coming out of a wave a friendly ship
Gave our survival a chance again
That's when I made my first cry.
I was born this morning, my name is Mercy.
I've been reached out and I'm alive.
I'm all those kids that the sea has taken over
I would live a hundred thousand years
My name is Mercy.
Behind the semaphores
Would that be the right port?
What will tomorrow be?
Face to face or hand in hand
What will tomorrow be?
I was born this morning, my name is Mercy.
Mercy Mercy Mercy, Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy, I'm fine, thank you.
Mercy Mercy Mercy, Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy, I'm fine, thank you.
Mercy Mercy Mercy, Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy, I'm fine, thank you.
Mercy Mercy Mercy, Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy, I'm fine, thank you.
Je suis née ce matin
Je m’appelle Mercy
Au milieu de la mer
Entre deux pays, Mercy
C’était un long chemin et Maman l’a pris
Elle m’avait dans la peau, huit mois et demi
Oh oui, huit mois et demi
On a quitté la maison, c’était la guerre
Sûr qu’elle avait raison, y’avait rien à perdre
Oh non, excepté la vie
Je suis née ce matin
Je m’appelle Mercy
On m’a tendu la main
Et je suis en vie
Je suis tous ces enfants
Que la mer a pris
Je vivrai cent mille ans
Je m’appelle Mercy
Si il est urgent de naître,
Comprenez aussi
Qu'il est urgent de renaître,
Quand tout est détruit
Mercy
Et là devant nos yeux y’avait l’ennemi
Une immensité bleue peut-être infinie
Mais oui, on en connaissait le prix
Surgissant d’une vague, un navire ami
A redonné sa chance à notre survie
C’est là, que j’ai poussé mon premier cri
Je suis née ce matin
Je m’appelle Mercy
On m’a tendu la main
Et je suis en vie
Je suis tous ces enfants
Que la mer a pris
Je vivrai cent mille ans
Je m’appelle Mercy
Derrière les sémaphores
Serait-ce le bon port ?
Que sera demain ?
Face à face ou main dans la main
Que sera demain ?
Je suis née ce matin
Je m’appelle Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy
Je vais bien, Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy, Je vais bien, Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy
Je vais bien, Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy
Mercy Mercy Je vais bien, Mercy
