GIMS – Le prix à payer [French to English translation]

Music video with English subtitles

Original French lyrics

J’ai continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route (continuer, continuer)
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
On fait des choses qu’on regrette vraiment
Avec le temps j’ai prêté serment
J’l’ai fait sincèrement
On oublie bêtement
Je rêve d’une vie où je m’endors sagement
Je suis conscient que je te dois tellement
Avec le temps j’ai prêté serment
J’l’ai fait sincèrement
Et je le dis clairement
J’ai fait des choses que je regrette vraiment
On me dit “mets-y du tien”
Combien se perdent en chemin?
Que ferais-je si j’étais toi?
Que ferais-tu si t’étais moi?
On me dit “mets-y, du tien”
Combien m’ont tendu la main?
Que ferais-je si j’étais toi?
Que ferais-tu si t’étais moi?
Je suis venu, j’ai vu, j’ai perdu mon temps
Et j’n’ai rien pu faire à part serrer les dents
J’ai rêvé ma vieÀ travers la vitre
On désire sans effort la miséricorde
Celui qui prend la vie est derrière la porte
Là tu réalises que tout est passé si vite
J’ai continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route (continuer, continuer)
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
On fait des choses qu’on regrette, c’est vrai
Et j’ai appris à m’mettre en retrait
Parfois je suis distrait
Et j’en ai trop fait
Je vis la nuit car je rêve en secret
Tous ces maux que j’vais emporter
Dans les épreuves je me suis enfermé
Je me mets en danger
Je construis, je défais
On fait des choses qu’on regrette, c’est vrai (qu’on regrette, c’est vrai)
On me dit “mets-y du tien”
Combien se perdent en chemin?
Que ferais-je si j’étais toi?
Que ferais-tu si t’étais moi?
On me dit “mets-y, du tien”
Combien m’ont tendu la main?
Que ferais-je si j’étais toi?
Que ferais-tu si t’étais moi?
Je suis venu, j’ai vu, j’ai perdu mon temps
Et j’n’ai rien pu faire à part serrer les dents
J’ai rêvé ma vie
À travers la vitre
On désire sans effort la miséricorde
Celui qui prend la vie est derrière la porte
Là tu réalises que tout est passé si vite
J’ai continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route (continuer, continuer)
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
Je veux plus rien croire
Je n’ai plus d’espoir
Laissez-moi avoir
Ce que je n’ai pas
Je suis perdu, je n’dors plus
En plein jour, je ne vois plus
Je suis perdu, je n’dors plus
En plein jour, je ne vois plus
Je suis venu, j’ai vu, j’ai perdu mon temps
Et j’n’ai rien pu faire à part serrer les dents
J’ai rêvé ma vie
À travers la vitre
On désire sans effort la miséricorde
Celui qui prend la vie est derrière la porte
Là tu réalises que tout est passé si vite
J’ai continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route
J’ai continué ma route (continuer, continuer)
J’ai continué ma route, continué ma route

Our English translation

I went on my way
I went on my way and I kept going.
I went on my way
keep on going, keep on going
I went on my way and I kept going.
We do things we really regret
In time I took an oath
I did it sincerely
One forgets it foolishly
I dream of a life where I fall asleep quietly
I am aware that I owe you so much
In time I took an oath
I did it sincerely
And I say it clearly
I have done things I really regret
People say “give it your best shot”.
How many get lost along the way?
What would I do if I were you?
What would you do if you were me?
People say “give it your best shot”.
How many have reached out to me?
What would I do if I were you?
What would you do if you were me?
I came, I saw, I wasted my time
And I could not do anything but grit my teeth
I dreamed my life
Through the glass
Mercy is effortlessly desired
The one who takes life is behind the door
There you realize that everything has gone by so fast
I went on my way
I went on my way and I kept going.
I went on my way
keep on going, keep on going
I went on my way and I kept going.
We do things we regret, it is true
And I have learned to take a step back
Sometimes I get distracted
And I have done too much
I am living at night because I am secretly dreaming
All the evils I am gonna take with me
In the trials, I have locked myself away
I put myself in danger
I build, I undo
We do things that we regret, it is true
People say “give it your best shot”.
How many get lost along the way?
What would I do if I were you?
What would you do if you were me?
People say “give it your best shot”.
How many have reached out to me?
What would I do if I were you?
What would you do if you were me?
I came, I saw, I wasted my time
And I could not do anything but grit my teeth
I dreamed my life
Through the glass
Mercy is effortlessly desired
The one who takes life is behind the door
There you realize that everything has gone by so fast
I went on my way
I went on my way and I kept going.
I went on my way
keep on going, keep on going
I went on my way and I kept going.
I do not want to believe anything
I have no more hope
Let me have what I do not have
I am lost, I can not sleep
In daylight, I can not see
I am lost, I can not sleep
In daylight, I can not see
I came, I saw, I wasted my time
And I could not do anything but grit my teeth
I dreamed my life
Through the glass
Mercy is effortlessly desired
The one who takes life is behind the door
There you realize that everything has gone by so fast
I went on my way
I went on my way and I kept going.
I went on my way.
keep on going, keep on going
I went on my way and I kept going.

Vadim Dovganyuk-Krym

I am a Ukraine-born Karaite with mixed Polish and Russian heritage, currently residing in Poland. I take immense pride in being a father to eight wonderful children and the legal guardian of a child from Ukraine. Additionally, I have the privilege of teaching a group of eleven exceptional children. My political views are syncretic, although I draw inspiration from left-wing, progressive, and socialist ideologies. While I hold strong opinions, I am always open to hearing and considering others' perspectives.

In the past, I worked as a translator, but my present focus lies in advocating for the rights of orphans, foundlings, and other children who lack parental care. Despite facing my own disabilities, I am committed to fighting for the rights of individuals with disabilities. Being a foundling myself, I consider myself fortunate to have found a loving family. This personal experience drives my passion for supporting those in similar circumstances.

Beyond my advocacy work, I have a deep passion for anime, gaming, and TV series. These interests provide me with a source of joy and relaxation. Furthermore, I am a dedicated philanthropist and have completed my studies in social pedagogy. As a young ambassador for the British charity ChildAid to Eastern Europe, I am honored to serve in this role, furthering the organization's mission to support children in need.
