J'ai cherché
Un sens à mon existence
J'y ai laissé mon innocence
J'ai fini le coeur sans défense
J'ai cherché
L'amour et la reconnaissance
J'ai payé le prix du silence
Je me blesse et je recommence
Tu m'as
Comme donné l'envie d'être moi
Donné un sens à mes pourquoi
Tu as tué la peur
Qui dormait là, qui dormait là
Dans mes bras
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
J'ai cherché
Un sens, un point de repère
Partagé en deux hémisphères
Comme une erreur de l'univers
J'ai jeté
Tellement de bouteilles à la mer
J'ai bu tant de liqueurs amères
Que j'en ai les lèvres de pierre
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Au gré de nos blessures
Et de nos désinvoltures
C'est quand on n'y croit plus du tout
Qu'on trouve un paradis perdu
En nous
Oh you, you, you, you, you
(You-ou-ou-ou-ou)
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
(You-ou-ou-ou-ou)

You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
Giving you love with my song
Giving you love with my song
English translation
I have looked for a sense to my existence
It made me leave my innocence behind
I've finished with an unprotected heart
I have looked for
Love and recognition
I have paid the price of silence,
I am getting hurt but starting all over again
You gave me the will to be myself
Gave a meaning to my questions
You have killed the fear that was sleeping here
That was sleeping here, in my arms
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
I have looked for a direction, a landmark
Split into two hemispheres
Like a mistake of the universe
I have thrown
Too many bottles to the sea
Drank so much bitter liquor
It made my lips as cold as stone
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Along our injuries and our flippancies
It's when we completely lose our faith
That we find a lost paradise inside ourselves
Oh you, you, you, you, you
(You-ou-ou-ou-ou)
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
(You-ou-ou-ou-ou)
