I was born this morning, my name is MercyJe suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy
In the middle of the sea, between two countriesAu milieu de la mer, entre deux pays

It was a long journey and Mom took itC’était un long chemin et Maman l’a pris
She had me in her skin, eight and a half monthsElle m’avait dans la peau, huit mois et demi
Oh yes, eight and a half monthsOh oui, huit mois et demi

We left the house, it was warOn a quitté la maison, c’était la guerre
Sure she was right, there was nothing to loseSûr qu’elle avait raison, y’avait rien à perdre
Oh no, except lifeOh non, excepté la vie

I was born this morning, my name is MercyJe suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy
A hand was extended to me and I am aliveOn m’a tendu la main et je suis en vie
I am all those children that the sea tookJe suis tous ces enfants que la mer a pris
I will live a hundred thousand years, my name is MercyJe vivrai cent mille ans, je m’appelle Mercy

If it is urgent to be born, understand alsoS'il est urgent de naître, comprenez aussi
That it is urgent to be reborn, when everything is destroyedQu'il est urgent de renaître, quand tout est détruit

And there before our eyes was the enemyEt là devant nos yeux y’avait l’ennemie
An immense blue, maybe infiniteUne immensité bleue peut-être infinie
But yes, we knew the priceMais oui, on en connaissait le prix
Emerging from a wave, a friendly shipSurgissant d’une vague, un navire ami
Gave our survival another chanceA redonné sa chance à notre survie
It was there that I let out my first cryC’est là, que j’ai poussé mon premier cri

I was born this morning, my name is MercyJe suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy
A hand was extended to me and I am aliveOn m’a tendu la main et je suis en vie
I am all those children that the sea tookJe suis tous ces enfants que la mer a pris
I will live a hundred thousand years, my name is MercyJe vivrai cent mille ans, je m’appelle Mercy

Behind the semaphores, could it be the right port?Derrière les sémaphores, serait-ce le bon port?
What will tomorrow be? Face to face or hand in handQue sera demain? Face à face ou main dans la main
What will tomorrow be?Que sera demain?
