Still on my feet
[Intro: Maitre Gims]
Pambola ngai, nzambe pambola ngai
Limbisa ngai, nzambe limbisa ngai
Limbisa ngai, nzambe limbisa ngai
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
I'm moved, but I'm still standing
I’m touched but I'm still standing
I'm trying to make ends meet
It hurts but I'm still standing
I'm moved, but I'm still standing
I’m touched but I'm still standing
My clothes are full of mud
It hurts but I'm still standing
[Couplet 1: Lefa]
Hardships, we never cease to go through them
No one can tell in what direction vapor will turn next (but)
We stand our ground, we stick together
We endure them because we serve the purpose of enduring blows
Worries prevent me from going to bed early
I only rest when the brothers or the sisters give me a hand
We gnash our teeth when, we go to the extremes
We conceal fatigue despite the baggy eyes and all
[Couplet 2: Black M]
Prayers, not blows
I’m like the father... man, I'm still standing
By God’s grace I won’t get to the point of suicide
Yes it’s on my knees that I’d like to revive myself
My scars are like my tears
Too proud to show them, even if I’m in pain
A word of encouragement to those who have lost a loved one
I just want to tell the Keita family to take heart
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
[Couplet 3: Barack Adama]
Worried, you have debts all over
Fortunately, you have friends
You sell the dream car before it gets tax relief
And you took a blow to your side
On the red list of the Bank of France, you are seen as a fraud
But too bad, tomorrow is another day
You're not one to call for help or turn the other cheek
Your tears are scant, the bills are copious
You've got a pay rise, it was a restricted diet all these years
Fortunately you have faith, you won’t take the path of suicide
Depression wants a rendezvous, but you don’t want to see its face
You keep smiling although it’s your honor that’s being taken for granted
So your heart becomes cold and unwelcoming, out of fear that it will be broken
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
[Interlude: Lefa]
Stand your ground
[Outro: Lefa, Doomams & Black M]
(Stand your ground) To the families of Boulevard Auriol
(Stand your ground) The illegal migrants at Courneuve
(Stand your ground) To those who come by swimming
(Stand your ground) And who go back on a charter flight
(Stand your ground) To all those handicapped
(Stand your ground) Words of encouragement to those imprisoned
(Stand your ground) To all people under oppression
(Stand your ground) To our families
Chapiteau, Sow, Diallo
The Keita family, the Bas, Sall family
The M’Baye family, the Seris
The Rocards
To the little Anais Keralla and her entire family
To Zaire, Guinea, Somalia, Rwanda
To the nations hit by crisis
We're still standing!
