[English]
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah
Ah yah
One and one makes three, it could be four or five
If it weren't for the crisis, a lock wouldn't be needed
We formed a team, I was the striker
I scored goals like crazy, my striker even braids
Who would have thought we’d get here
And have a serious life like I never predicted
And it’s so good to wake up in the morning, look at you
Before I go mess with what I’ve always enjoyed
Ah yah, baby
We are the ones
Ah yah, baby
Who became parents
Ah yah, baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah, baby
We produce diamonds
Ah yah baby
We are the ones
Ah yah baby
Who became parents
Ah yah baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah baby
We produce diamonds
And our daughter is going to have a brother or sister
Just yesterday she barely opened her eyes
I want a cute island with a cabin
Because I already have love in heaps, cotton doesn’t lie
It was with you that I killed so many demons
It was with you that I saved so many neurons
I see us happy, city dwellers or country folks
Don’t be too sad for not liking marriage
You have the ring, you don’t need the paper
We’ll throw the party ourselves, I’ll even sing you Bo Te Mel
This time I’ll get the license, even if it takes a year or two
For now, you keep driving for both of us
Ah yah, baby
We are the ones
Ah yah, baby
Who became parents
Ah yah, baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah baby
We produce diamonds
Ah yah baby
We are the ones
Ah yah baby
Who became parents
Ah yah baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah baby
We produce diamonds
...
Sometimes it’s not easy
Sometimes it’s not easy
But baby, we turn it around
We always turn everything around
But baby, we turn it around
We always turn everything around
But baby, we turn it around
We always turn everything around
But baby, we turn it around
Ah yah, baby
We are the ones
Ah yah, baby
Who became parents
Ah yah, baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah, baby
We produce diamonds
Ah yah, baby
We are the ones
Ah yah baby
Who became parents
Ah yah, baby
Steady and constant
Ah yah, baby
We produce diamonds
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
Ah yah, baby
