On Ne T'Oublie Pas

On this piano tune, I set sail
Before it's too late, I open my heart, forced to realize
I'm getting older
Life, or rather death, has separated us
Without even giving me time to prepare
You disappear just as I turned 3
I'm too young to understand that death crossed your path
I believed in your return, but eventually I understood
That every October 11th, we pray for you
It's for you that I must succeed in life
That I become a man before destiny reunites us
I'm looking for a way out, full of hope
Like a homeless dreaming of being loaded tonight
Between sorrow and regret
I've shed so many tears in secret, so many tears in retreat
I think of you every moment
And like Pit Baccardi, 'so far from you, I'm so lonely, I miss you mom'

JESSICA MARQUEZ (Chorus):
You watch over me, I keep our memories
We don't forget, not a thought without sighs
For my wounds, it's just a matter of time
I think back to our good times so often

KAMELANCIEN
Mohamed Allah i rahmou 1988
The date of your death, I don't forget, bro
These words are not haram, I don't steal in alcohol
But sometimes I give up like those kids sniffing glue
Losing a dear one is like losing a limb
Like eating your flesh, solitude in your room
You find yourself alone in front of the only one
And in these writings, you find yourself alone
I know what I'm talking about, brother, I'm the observer
I've seen death strike in my neighborhood at all hours
I want to be God's servant, I don't want to be the guardian of your sins
And I thank Allah for not being a killer, brother
You fell that day to go up to heaven
You didn't make the headlines, but believe me, you left a void, brother
We all have a scar, often it opens
And lets those drops flow when it opens, brother, peace

JESSICA MARQUEZ (Chorus):
You watch over me, I keep our memories
We don't forget, not a thought without sighs
For my wounds, it's just a matter of time
I think back to our good times so often

ORCKO MC:
It's for you, cousin, because I loved you and we didn't know each other well
I write you this letter hoping you recognized me
It's a great pain in one verse
Replaying the tears of the family at your place in full
Your body left us, your soul went up to the skies
Alone in my room, tears well up in my eyes
It's true that we all face death
But you were young with a body riddled with bullets
Another one the street snatched from us
It's in those moments that I have no more strength to hold on
The reaper was approaching and you were sure of it
I share the pain of your father, mother, and sisters
Their life is a desert since that day
From that day on, I think of you forever
Allah i rahmou and may he welcome you to paradise
And may my tears and my rage cease since you left

JESSICA MARQUEZ (Chorus):
You watch over me, I keep our memories
We don't forget, not a thought without sighs
For my wounds, it's just a matter of time
I think back to our good times so often

So often, I think back...
