Description
The faint smell of the sea, a little sand on my sneakers, and a phone that didn't answer on time again. Mom is worried not because she doesn't trust, but because that tiny miracle that once slept in her arms is still alive in her chest. It's just that now this miracle wears a denim jacket, lives in another city, and waters their flowers when they remember. The song sounds like a quiet conversation across a distance, without reproach, but with a gentle lump in the throat. There's a little sadness in every line, but also a lot of warmth: it's like two universes, once connected by a single umbilical cord, now spinning separately, but still held together by the gravity of love. And in this strange balance, there is as much life as no phone call can contain.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Coucou chéri cœur, j'espère que ça va.
Écoute, je viens d'aller me promener avec papa et Rio sur la plage. C'était trop gai.
Mais bon, voilà, tu me manques quand même un peu hein mon cœur. Allez, je t'aime hein.
Encore un appel manqué, faudra que je la rappelle.
Que je prenne le temps de passer lui dire que je l'aime.
La chambre est vidée, je sais, ça lui fait de la peine.
Elle a peur de me voir changer.
C'est vrai que je suis plus la même, tout à fait.
Je suis sortie de son ventre et le temps de respirer.
Elle m'avait quitté la chambre.
Elle dit qu'elle a pas vu le temps passer. Maman s'inquiète.
Maman s'inquiète.
Se faire rouler des larmes sur sa joue. Elle voudrait m'appeler tous les jours.
Maman s'inquiète.
Maman s'inquiète.
J'ai grandi, elle comprend pas tout.
J'ai grandi, ça fait beaucoup.
Elle demande à mes frères, à mon père, à la terre si je vais bien, si je dors, si j'ai tout, si j'ai rien, si je m'en sors.
Elle arrose mes fleurs quand je suis pas à Bruxelles.
Quand je reviens par magie, c'est joli dans mon lit.
Pas un pli, pas une poussière.
Je suis sortie de son ventre et le temps de respirer.
Elle m'avait quitté l'enfance.
Elle dit qu'elle a pas vu le temps passer.
Maman s'inquiète.
Maman s'inquiète.
Se faire rouler des larmes sur sa joue. Elle voudrait m'appeler tous les jours.
Maman s'inquiète.
Maman s'inquiète.
J'ai grandi, elle comprend pas tout.
J'ai grandi, ça fait beaucoup.
Maman t'inquiète.
Maman t'inquiète.
Dès que je m'éloigne de ton amour, je t'entends qui dit au secours. Mais maman t'inquiète.
Maman t'inquiète.
Si tu n'as pas assez de nous, tu peux m'appeler tous les jours.
Coucou Léa. Tu sais, je m'inquiète plus maintenant. J'ai compris.
J'ai vraiment compris que tu vivais ta meilleure vie, que ça te rend très heureuse et ça, ça me plaît beaucoup.
Voilà, je te fais de gros bisous, fallait que tu le saches et euh, on se rappelle hein, vite hein. Bisous mon cœur.
English translation
Hello darling heart, I hope you are okay.
Look, I just went for a walk with Dad and Rio on the beach. It was too happy.
But hey, there you go, I still miss you a little huh sweetheart. Come on, I love you eh.
Another missed call, I'll have to call her back.
That I take the time to stop by and tell him that I love him.
The room is empty, I know, it pains him.
She's afraid of seeing me change.
It's true that I'm not the same, completely.
I got out of her stomach and had time to breathe.
She had left my room.
She says she didn't see the time passing. Mom is worried.
Mom is worried.
Making tears roll down his cheek. She would like to call me every day.
Mom is worried.
Mom is worried.
I grew up, she doesn't understand everything.
I've grown up, that's a lot.
She asks my brothers, my father, the earth if I'm okay, if I'm sleeping, if I have everything, if I have nothing, if I'm getting through this.
She waters my flowers when I'm not in Brussels.
When I magically come back, it's pretty in my bed.
Not a crease, not a speck of dust.
I got out of her stomach and had time to breathe.
She had left my childhood behind.
She says she didn't see the time passing.
Mom is worried.
Mom is worried.
Making tears roll down his cheek. She would like to call me every day.
Mom is worried.
Mom is worried.
I grew up, she doesn't understand everything.
I've grown up, that's a lot.
Mom worries you.
Mom worries you.
As soon as I move away from your love, I hear you saying help. But mom worries you.
Mom worries you.
If you don't get enough of us, you can call me every day.
Hello Léa. You know, I don't worry anymore. Got it.
I really understood that you are living your best life, that it makes you very happy and that pleases me a lot.
There you go, I'm sending you big kisses, you had to know that and uh, we'll remember, quickly eh. Kisses my heart.
