Lyrics translation:
When I am not singing
I am like you
This is how I am
A wife, a mother
A woman that has to know how to do everything

When I am not singing
My life is grounded.
Even if Heaven laughs at me
Singing is all that I know how to do

I used to walk in the street
I settled down on terraces
I crossed path with strangers
Made room for them
I used to listen to their stories
They got to know mine
At first glance
Our lives are just the same

The coming out of school
Our children who come running
But all their words fly off
And their laughter sounds muffled
While the echo of silence is your only ally
It is the enemy that dances while you cry

When I am not singing
I am like you
This is how I am
A wife, a mother
A woman that has to know how to do everything
Singing
In the spotlight

Singing
When you are made for this
Giving your soul over to nothing else
It is necessary to keep faith
Our hearts against one another

To find in this life
All our little pleasures
But is that enough
To make the hours pass?

When I am not singing
I am like you
This is how I am
A wife, a mother
A woman that has to know how to do everything

When I am not singing
I am like you
This is how I am
A mistress, a friend
A woman with a thousand and one lives

When I am not singing
Of course
Dawn rises even so
Sometime it is not really that any more
Often I am not myself any more

Often I am not myself any more × 2
Often I am not me any more

When I am not singing
I murmur ancient prayers
Which lead me right away
To the only thing I know how to do…
Singing in the spotlight
