Step Three – Typing in French!Je suis métis, un mélange de couleurs oh ohOh métis, je viens d'ici et d'ailleurs

Si parfois je me perds au milieu des deux rivesSi j'ai besoin de repères, mes racines me guidentUn sentiment basique, un élan, une chanceUne si belle mosaïque et dans mon coeur ça danse

Je suis la preuve vivante que tous les humains sont les mêmesJe suis l'enfant d'Adam et EveJe suis un rêve comme Ismaël en IsraëlRenie ta haine et fais sourire les angesMétis des Indes et du BrésilOn est métis comme Sade, Bob MarleyTu peux te marrer ou bien te barrerOn peut en parlerMulticolores, anti-connards et tous mes colocatairesCaracolent en tête pour des idéesD'un monde plus métissé

Copy this into your Word document.

Save it as – Yannick Noah
