Traçant sur papier le monde
Ces terres que personne ne conte
Loin des eaux calmes du port
Je voguerai vers l’aurore

Les astres me montrent la voie
Vers ce coin du globe, là-bas
Je sens toutefois que je m’égare
Le coeur dans le brouillard

Chorus:
On m’a appris à rester brave et forte
Que vit l’espoir dans les eaux mortes
On m’a appris à faire fi de l’effroi
Et compte les plaies, les plaies en moi
À peine libre et à flot
Je hisse les voiles de mon bateau
La mer giflant le pont
Je rentre enfin à la maison

Toute seule avec les palans
J’affronterai la colère du temps
Et quand j’aurai gagné la guerre
T’aurai-je encore pour frère ?

Chorus

Otage dans les bras d’un ouragan
J’arise mes voiles sous les haubans
Perdue dans le noir et sans terre au loin
Je prends la barre vers mon destin

(Marion’s French adaptation of the song “My Sails Are Set” from the “One Piece” Netflix series)
