INTRO (Personne 1 — voix calme, presque parlée)
(musique douce, pluie, bruit de tram à Bruxelles)
Different streets…
Different accents…
Same city.
Same dreams.
(beat qui monte lentement)
⸻
COUPLET 1 (Personne 1 — chant mélodique)
Walking through Brussels late night,
Different faces, same lights.
Some people quiet ‘cause they scared to speak,
Hide their language, hide who they be.
Arabic at home, French at school,
Dutch on the signs, still breaking the rules.
Everybody different, that’s beautiful though,
Why we acting like we don’t know?
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (Personne 2 — voix douce)
No more shame when we talk,
No more fear when we walk.
Every word got a story to tell,
Every voice deserves to be heard as well.
⸻
Tous ensemble
CHORUS (TOUS — très mélodique, accrocheur)
One city, one love, one vibe tonight,
Different languages but the hearts align.
We don’t gotta sound the same to shine,
Brussels together, yeah we crossing the lines.
Hear the voices in the air now,
No more silence, we don’t care now.
One city.
One dream.
One people.
One team. X3
⸻
COUPLET 2 (Personne 3 — style rap mélodique)
Teacher said “talk properly”, what that mean?
My accent built from places you ain’t seen.
Grandma came here with a suitcase dream,
Now her language living inside of me.
People judge quick when the words sound strange,
But the world don’t grow if it never change.
Brussels mixed like the metro lines,
Different cultures crossing all the time.
⸻
TRANSITION (Personne 4 — voix émotionnelle)
You can hear Turkish in the morning,
Walae Spanish in the summer rain.
Lingala inside the station,
And somehow we all feel the same.
⸻
NOUS TOUS
BEAT DROP / CHORUS FINAL (TOUS)
One city, one love, one vibe tonight,
Different languages but the hearts align.
No more hiding who we are inside,
Brussels together, let the city rise.
Raise your voices to the skyline,
Different words but the same light.
⸻
OUTRO (Personne 1 + Personne 2 doucement)
Bastian Maybe we speak differ
