Elle avait toujours au coin d'la bouche 00:11
Ce petit sourire qui faisait mouche 00:13
Elle laissait le vent emporter tout 00:16
Les soucis, les remous 00:19
Moi j'avais encore les yeux qui louchent 00:21
Des plaies sur le cœur, des escarmouches 00:23
Ça pesait des tonnes, j'avais la frousse, de tout, de tout 00:26
Elle a débarqué, au coin d'ma rue 00:31
Je l'attendais pas, je l'attendais plus 00:36
Elle m'a regardé, on s'est reconnu 00:41
Je l'espérais pas, elle est quand même venue 00:46
Elle m'a dit "Compte sur moi, compte sur moi 00:51
Oh, c'est vrai que chaque peine cache une joie" 00:57
Elle m'a dit "Compte sur moi, compte sur moi 01:01
Reste encore un peu là près de moi" 01:07
La Baraka, la Baraka, la Baraka 01:12
Les jours sont passés et moi j'allais 01:22
J'avais, ce p'tit truc au coin des yeux 01:25
Qui plissait au soleil sans trop forcé 01:27
J'peux pas l'expliquer, j'étais heureux 01:30
Elle m'avait regardé, on s'était reconnu 01:32
Je l'espérais pas, elle est quand même venue 01:37
Elle m'a dit "Compte sur moi, compte sur moi 01:42
Oh, c'est vrai que chaque peine cache une joie" 01:48

La Baraka, la Baraka, la Baraka 02:03
La Baraka, la Baraka 02:13
"Reste encore un peu là près de moi" 02:19
Mais un jour la chance avait tourné 02:23
Comme si un jour durait une année 02:26
Au fond d'mon trou, quand j'y croyais plus 02:29
J'l'ai aperçue 02:31
Ma Baraka, ma Baraka, ma Baraka 02:33
Elle était revenue 02:41
Elle m'a dit "Compte sur moi, compte sur moi 02:43
Oh, c'est vrai que chaque peine cache une joie" 02:49
Elle m'a dit "Compte sur moi, compte sur moi 02:54
Reste encore un peu là près de moi" 03:00
La Baraka, la Baraka, la Baraka 03:04
La Baraka, la Baraka 03:14

[English]
She always had at the corner of her mouth
That little smile that hit the mark
She let the wind carry away everything
The worries, the turbulence
I still had cross-eyed look
Wounds on my heart, skirmishes
It weighed tons, I was scared, of everything, of everything
She showed up, on the corner of my street
I wasn't expecting her, I wasn't expecting her anymore
She looked at me, we recognized each other
I wasn't hoping for her, she came anyway
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Oh, it's true that every pain hides a joy"
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Stay a little longer there near me"
Good luck, good luck, good luck
The days went by and I was doing well
I had, that little thing at the corner of my eyes
That squinted in the sun without too much effort
I can't explain it, I was happy
She had looked at me, we had recognized each other
I wasn't hoping for her, she came anyway
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Oh, it's true that every pain hides a joy"
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Stay a little longer there near me"
Good luck, good luck, good luck
Good luck, good luck
"Stay a little longer there near me"
But one day luck had turned
As if one day lasted a year
At the bottom of my hole, when I didn't believe it anymore
I saw her
My good luck, my good luck, my good luck
She had come back
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Oh, it's true that every pain hides a joy"
She told me "Count on me, count on me
Stay a little longer there near me"
Good luck, good luck, good luck
Good luck, good luck
"Stay a little longer, there near me"
