Avant Qu'elle Parte

Foolish, insensitive, you love her but yet you flee from her
Foolish, insensitive, you love her but yet you flee from her

[Doomam's]
Forgive me for your repeated insomnia
Forgive me for the queues, the clashes at inspection
Forgive me for the police custody, the searches
Forgive me for leaving so early, for becoming a musician
All the times I forgot to reply to your messages
All the times I had to come see you between two or three dates
All the times I had to lie to you to keep you from hitting me
All those times I never doubted your good faith

[Maska]
Your mother is a rare flower that you water with your love
To deprive her is to kill her, so don't shorten her countdown
Tell him you love him and you regret your confrontational ways
She has trouble escaping because your big brothers have gotten into trouble
Is it my wrinkles that stop me from smiling at him?
I don't want to stay alive until she dies
Your tears stung my wounds, I would like to please you
Forever I curse this day when you are buried

And even when everyone is against you
She remains your best friend
You would like to tell her what she means to you
Before she lost her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him

And even when everyone is against you
She remains your best friend
You would like to tell her what she means to you
Before she lost her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him

[Black M]
I'm sure she would just like to hear a mom I love you
Instead of the screams of your father threatening to throw you out
I'm sure she'll crack after a week without you
And that your absence will hurt him more than a fall from the top of his roof
I'm sure she'd like you to hold her
Just like she did during your first 12 months
I'm sure love has made you short-sighted
Instead of taking it to your mother you take it to an idiot

[Lefa & Barack Adama]
Hours on the phone with your girlfriend to get closer
When your mother calls you, you want to hang up quickly
In front of your friends you stand up to him, you want to give him lessons
But you forget that she held that head when she breastfed you
Take my word for it, you can replace lungs but you can't replace a mother
You lived in her, you lived under her roof
He is the only person who prays to leave this world before you
At the police station, for her you were never guilty
But for me you are because you are tanned while she is all pale
Apart from her, no one can stand your constant selfishness
You are not the center of the world but you are your mother's center

And even when everyone is against you
She remains your best friend
You would like to tell her what she means to you
Before she lost her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him

And even when everyone is against you
She remains your best friend
You would like to tell her what she means to you
Before she lost her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him
But you don't dare, you don't dare, you don't dare tell him

[Master Gim's]
I never left
I never changed
If it wasn't for my voice and my height
Oh Mom
It's me
I want you to validate my fiancé
Comfort me as when I fell
Mom where have you been oh
Look at me

[JR O'Crome]
Just hug you
Hold you tight and tell you I love you one last time
Rest in peace
For us you gave yourself body and soul
If I run out of ink, too bad, I'll continue with my tears
Today Mom is no longer here
I fell from a great height but I couldn't fall any lower
Buddy, don't play the DASS child
If you have one, please her, tell her you love her before she leaves

To all those who still have a mother
Even if death doesn't stop love
Tell them you love them
Before they leave
