Mon Alliée (The Best In Me) was to have been the French entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam performed by Tom Leeb.
At the time of the 2020 contest's cancellation, the song received an acoustic revamp, where most of the lyrics in the chorus were translated into French after the French Minister of Culture criticized the song for having a refrain in English. [1]
Lyrics[]
La nuit comme un écho
Comme un reflet à tes mots
Dans mon cœur, je lis
Un éternel récit de toi
De toi, de toi, de toi
You, you are the best in me
Au fond de moi j’ai compris
You are, you are, you are
Et tout ce qu’on sait jamais dès
Revient me hanter jour et nuit
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
J’irai au bout des sens
Faire voyager mon innocence
Pour qu’ils donnent vie
À tout c’qu’on s’est promis
You are, you are, you are
You, you are the best in me
Au fond de moi j’ai compris
You are, you are, you are
Et tout ce qu’on sait jamais dès
Revient me hanter jour et nuit
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
On est liés mon alliée
Même si le temps devait s’arrêter
Sans toi, je perds le meilleur de moi…
You are the best in me
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
Au fond de moi j’ai compris
You are, you are, you are
In every breath I breath
For ever eternally
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
You are the best in me…
The night is like an echo
Like a reflection of your words
In my heart I read
An eternal tale
Of you, of you, of you, of you
You, you are the best in me
Deep inside I understood
You are, you are, you are
And everything we never said to each other
Comes back to haunt me every day and night
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
I will go to the end of the senses
Make my innocence travel
To bring them to life
To everything we promised
You are, you are, you are, you are
You, you are the best in me
Deep inside I understood
You are, you are, you are
And everything we never said to each other
Comes back to haunt me day and night
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
We are linked my ally
Even if time stands still
Without you, I lose the best in me…
You are the best in me
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
Deep down I understand
You are, you are, you are
In every breath I breath
For ever eternally
You are, you are, you are
You are the best in me
You are the best in me…
