[INTRO]
La pluie peut tomber
Le vent peut frapper
Mais regarde
Je suis encore là

[VERSE 1]
J’ai connu les portes fermées
Les nuits trop longues sans réponse
J’ai porté des silences lourds
Comme des pierres sur mes épaules

On m’a dit
Tu ne passeras pas
On m’a dit
Tu tomberas encore
Mais chaque fois que la terre tremblait
Mes pieds apprenaient à tenir plus fort

[PRE-CHORUS]
Mí ma ja
Nous ne tombons pas
Mí ɖo afɔ
Nous gardons les pieds au sol

[CHORUS]
Stand through the storm
Stand through the fire
Even when the night
Keeps rising higher

Je plie parfois
Mais je ne casse pas
Stand through the storm
I’m still standing here

[VERSE 2]
Le tambour frappe comme un cœur
La basse avance comme une marche
Chaque blessure a laissé une trace
Mais aucune n’a pris ma place

J’ai vu des rêves perdre leur couleur
Des visages disparaître en chemin
Alors j’ai serré ce qui restait
Et j’ai recommencé demain

[PRE-CHORUS]
Mí ma ja
Nous ne tombons pas
Mí ɖo afɔ
Nous gardons les pieds au sol

[CHORUS]
Stand through the storm
Stand through the fire
Even when the night
Keeps rising higher

Je plie parfois
Mais je ne casse pas
Stand through the storm
I’m still standing here

[BRIDGE]
Frappe encore
Je connais ce bruit
Souffle encore
Je connais la nuit

You can bend me
You can shake me
You will never erase me

Je porte mes cicatrices
Comme la preuve du chemin

[BREAK]
Debout
Encore debout
Toujours debout

[FINAL CHORUS]
Stand through the storm
Stand through the fire
We are still here
And we rise higher

Même quand le ciel
Tombe autour de moi
Stand through the storm
I’m still standing here

Stand through the storm
Stand through the fire
We are still here
And we rise higher

[OUTRO]
Le vent s’éloigne
Le tambour reste
Et moi aussi
Stand Through the Storm
