Aurelie

Aurelie is only sixteen and she's expecting a child
Her friends and parents recommend abortion
She doesn't agree, she sees things differently
She says she's ready to be called 'Mommy'
This one is for every Aurelie, all those who gave birth, for every Aurelie
Oh, mother at any cost!
 
She's in second grade in a suburban high school
Recently she's been seeing a guy from her neighborhood
He's how she likes them, meaning a little older
He looks like he's in love, they have everything to be happy
She had never done it before, she was waiting for the right guy
So now she tells herself 'That's it', they're alone in the Twingo
It's gonna swing, she takes off her tanga and scores an ace just like Tsonga1
Yes but here we are, nine months later
He can't deal with it and runs away, like a bastard
She found out that he rather likes to party, actually
And so here she is, alone in this saga
 
Chorus: Colone Reyel - Aurelie
 
I can tell you, all her life she'll remember
She'll remember the day she told
Told her mom and dad
Told them that she was three months pregnant
She wasn't expecting to jump up with excitement
But she still hoped they'd show some good faith
It wasn't the case, that's the least we can say
And the hard times began
 
Chorus: Colonel Reyel - Aurelie
 
She had to build a home very quickly
To assume her responsabilities for the rent
To quickly find a job to pay it, whatever the cost
She tried everything
Like they say in the neighborhood, she made huge sacrifices
To find someone who could help her
But when you're not as VIP as Mathilde Seigner
You can't give up, that's what it taught her
 
We've all known a girl in Aurelie's situation
Someone for whom pregnancy is synonym for trespassing
Rejected by her friends, but mostly by her family
Who doesn't accept her will to give birth
Here's what I'd say if I was asked for my opinion
Bringing a child into this world shouldn't be punished
It's the most beautiful thing that could ever be
And if you deny this
It don't know anything about life
