13 ans

Merveilleux fut mon treizième printemps
 Dans l'innocence de tes mots, j'ai découvert l'amour
 Même si aujourd'hui, mes peines ont remplacé mes joies
 Je garderai toujours de toi, le souvenir d'une belle image
 To bandaki ngayi na yé eeh na pasi eh, eeh
 Wuta bo mwana, tango'ango nga nazalaki nanu na 13ans (l'infinitif Didi Kinuani)
 Yela nga Nenette, na nzela kelasi ezalaki ndé folie d'amour
 Nga ko nako lela motema mo zoki
 Banzaka bolingo ndengé tobandaki
 Soki na kanisi, nakolela aah
 Soki na banzi, nako miboma nzoto
 Na kufa na nga martyrs ya bolingo yango eh (Elysee, Bijoux Mboma)
 Yela nga Nenette, nazela yé asilieet a stewardess?
 Mom's depressed
 And her lawyers are mean
 Now I'm stressed –
 Life is a disaster
 And I'm cracking from the strain
 Going totally insane
 And I'm just about to turn
 Just about to turn
 Just about to turn
 Thirteen
 Everything switches
 Thirteen
 Everything turns around
 Thirteen
 End up in stitches
 Thirteen
 Hide a way underground
 Thirteen
 Can I get through it?
 Thirteen
 Life has changed overnight
 Thirteen
 How do I do it?
 Thirteen
 Nothing is going right
 The best and the worst
 And the most and the least
 And the crazy and the scary
 And I'm standing on the edge!
 Twelve years old –
 Everything that used to be good as gold
 Starts to crumble and crack
 Pressure mounts
 Once it was a joke, now it really counts
 And there's no turning back
 Life goes wrong
 Suddenly they're yelling
 'Cause your hair's too long
 Or your room isn't clean
 Roll along
 Every conversation is another lost cause
 Or a list of my flaws
 And I'm just about to turn
 Just about to turn
 God, I'm gonna to turn
 Thirteen!
 I want a dirt bike!
 Thirteen
 I want to kill my ma
 Thirteen
 I want a mustache!
 Thirteen
 I want a WonderBra!
 Thirteen
 When do I get it?
 Thirteen
 All of the grown-up stuff?
 Thirteen
 How will I make it?
 Thirteen
 When am I old enough?
 Why is the world feeling suddenly stranger?
 Why are my friends acting totally weird?
 Why do I feel like my life is in danger?
 Why do I feel like my brain disappeared?
 How will I get through a year of Spanish?
 How can I not look dumb in Track?
 How can I gain twenty pounds by Friday?
 How can I make my voice not crack?
 I wanna fly, wanna run, wanna drive
 Wanna get rich
 Wanna get drunk
 Wanna get out!
 Wanna get my braces off
 Wanna get my nose pierced
 Wanna grow my hair long
 But all I keep hearing is:
 "No, you're not ready!"
 "No, it's not time yet!"
 "No, it's not right now!"
 "Wait until you're older!"
 "No, you're not ready!"
 "No, it's not time yet!"
 "No, it's not right now!"
 "Wait until you're older!"
 "No, you're not ready!"
 "No, it's not time yet!"
 "No, it's not right now!"
 "Wait until you're older!"
 "Homework!"
 "Laundry!"
 "Dishes!"
 "Courses!"
 "Just settle down and hold your horses!"

 In the middle of this city
 In the middle of this street
 There's the sound of something crumbling
 Rumbling underneath my feet
 In the middle of the sidewalk
 Outside P.S. 84
 I hear a roar
 I can't ignore
 I hear, "Evan, it's not your fault"
 I hear, "Evan, can't you see?"
 I hear, "Evan, do you want to go
 With Mom or stay with me?"
 I hear, "Kiddo, I'm not angry"
 I hear, "Buddy, you know best"
 And there's the rumbling getting louder
 But there's one day in October
 When the pieces all will fit
 When they have to be together
 And pretend they didn't quit
 I've got one day in October
 And I know it's got to be
 The perfect party
 I'm becoming a man
 I don't know what "a man" really means
 The rule book grows
 But no one knows
 What all the rules allow
 I'm becoming a man
 No one tells all us scared in-betweens
 Just how we should
 Be strong, be good
 With so much pressure now!
 One day it gets better -
 One day it makes sense
 One day I'll stop talking
 In the friggin' future tense
 One day in October
 It'll all be great!
 And I can't wait!
 I can't wait!
 I can't wait!
 I can't wait to come to your party!
 I can't wait to come to your party!
 I can't wait to come to your party!
 I can't wait to come to your party!
 I can't wait-
 Your party!
 I can't wait! I can't wait!
 Can't wait
 Can't wait
 Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait for
 Thirteen
 Somethin' is comin'!
 Thirteen
 Somethin' is goin' up!
 Thirteen
 Somethin' is hummin'!
 Thirteen
 Somebody's growin' up!
 Thirteen
 Hey, yeahhh!
 Thirteen
 No, no, no-no, no-no!
 Thirteen
 Hey yay-yeah-yay-yeah!
 Thirteen
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
 The best and the worst
 And the most and the least
 And the crazy and the scary
 And we're just about to turn
 Thirteen!
