[English]

I have hidden my differences so much

Under airs or false appearances

I believed that other dance steps

Would hide me from people's eyes

I have never followed your paths

I wanted to carve my own way

To go higher

To go higher

Where we forget our memories

To go higher

To go higher

To get closer to the future

...

...

I have lost track so many times

Of the dreams for which I lived

I couldn't tell you I love you

Only to keep you

One must also express their doubts

And place them in other hands

To go higher

To go higher

And to draw memories

To go higher

To go higher

And to still believe in the future, yeah

...

To go higher

To go higher

And to draw memories

To go higher

To go higher

And to still believe in the future

To go higher

To go higher

To get closer to the future, yeah

...

[French]

J'ai tant caché mes différences

Sous des airs ou des faux semblants

J'ai cru que d'autres pas de danse

Me cacheraient aux yeux des gens

Je n'ai jamais suivi vos routes

J'ai voulu tracer mon chemin

Pour aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Où l'on oublie ses souvenirs

Aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Se rapprocher de l'avenir

J'ai perdu tant de fois la trace

Des rêves pour lesquels que je vivais

Je n'ai pas su te dire je t'aime

Seulement te garder

Il faut aussi dire ses doutes

Et les poser dans d'autres mains

Pour aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Et dessiner des souvenirs

Aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Et croire encore à l'avenir, yeah

Pour aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Et dessiner des souvenirs

Aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Et croire encore à l'avenir

Aller plus haut

Aller plus haut

Se rapprocher de l'avenir, yeah
