letra de 21 rue de l'avenir (en anglais) - sinik

[intro]

they stole my life, they stole my life
they stole my life, they stole my life

[verse 1]

one day the bailiff gives you a deadline
it’s too late, you need to leave
for these b-st-rds taking your t.v isn’t enough
forced to run away from everything we love and leave
look at your parents full of pain, 15 years of life to pack up
none of our relatives were forced to move
my single parents, a phone that doesn’t ring, memory erased
20 years later i never found the strength
to forgive all those dogs to which my father opened his door
[son of a b-tch!]
that kind of ordeal i can’t forget
i spent those years clutching a bat
so my hatred has a date of birth
we left one rainy summer night
the atmosphere was like a mortuary how the silence was so loud
an incessant memory, sorry if my voice shakes
the teen grew up, i was 16, now i’m 30
objective, to be able to remove this debt
to relieve this weight and quickly find a roof over our heads
[chorus]

i left my city behind and everything i owned
they told me to leave, i’ll never forget that
i couldn’t hold on to rue de l’avenir
they stole my life, they stole my life
i left my city behind and everything i owned
they told me to leave, i’ll never forget that
i couldn’t hold on to rue de l’avenir
they stole my life, they stole my life
they stole my life, they stole my life

[verse 2]

there are no more rats on the ship
far from from home, 96′
in a dead end at 21 rue de l’avenir
small house barely bigger than a mobile home
people living their lives whilst mine is on hold, since that day i cursed the man
[well, yeah]
i forgot to live
now i know where my rage comes from, i never turned the page they burned the book
we just lost everything
all i got was the sound of my mothers tears hitting the floor
other peoples tears were more like pearl necklaces
i’m worn out, a mother absent for liver treatment
the windows were broken, a bit of duct-tape kept the cold away
in winter we die, it’s horrible, the temperature is -12
i’m so scared of december, i think about it in august
paid in cash for a big house though dad was nowhere to be found
put the keys in the door, i’ve dreamt of this 100 times
new address, a new start, this is how it was supposed to be, yeah
rue de l’avenir, a dead-end, it was a sign
[chorus]

[verse 3]

six full years will have passed
though my father told me, “believe me, it’s temporary we won’t be here in two or three months”
[i swear…]
at home i suffer
so i run away when i can
at night i sleep in my car, i need sp-ce to breathe
my father trying hard to build himself back up, his heart shaking
my brothers found work, it took time, their hair turning grey
six full years of struggling, to deal with the bank
life is not like skiing people don’t help you up the slope
[well, no]
i don’t forget that i started music to help myself escape
out of the misery when the end of the month began on the 10th
i dreamt of breaking through the wall like rédoine faïd
brother, i’m tough but i suffered, n0body is invincible

[chorus]
