XY
[Slimane]
What is a man
When he holes up, when he hides away to cry
When he is afraid and is in pain?
What is a man
When he is himself and does not lie?
What is a man?
[Vitaa]
A woman is strong
When we are hurt and overwhelmed, we don't complain
When everyone leaves us, we stay there
With the remains we rebuild–that's how we are
That's what a woman is
[Slimane, Vitaa]
What is a man?
What is a woman?
We pretend, we play the game we're taught
If you're a man, if you're a woman
[Slimane]
What is a woman?
When she's prevented from speaking, when you wish she would keep mum
When you leave her, when you lock her up in a corner
What is a woman when she's afraid of your hands?
What is a woman?
[Vitaa]
A man is beautiful
Who is no longer afraid when it's time to protect their own?
Even the strongest of men says nothing in front of his mother
A man who doesn't cheat and knows to restrain himself is beautiful
A man is beautiful
[Slimane, Vitaa]
What is a man?
What is a woman?
We pretend, we play the game we're taught
If you're a man
If you're a woman
[Slimane & Vitaa]
We are asked to be the shoulder, to be the arms, to stay there
And to smile in front of people when nothing is going well
We wonder way too much about things we don't know
We wonder
If we forgive
The differences and all the questions
If we forget the ideals, the illusions
If we forgive the missteps, the disappointments
I forgive you
[Slimane, Vitaa]
What is a man?
What is a woman?
We pretend, we play the game we're taught
If you're a man
If you're a woman
[Slimane, Vitaa]
What is a man
When he holes up, when he hides away to cry
When he is afraid and is in pain?
Even the strongest of men says nothing in front of his mother
What is a man?
