La canzone che rappresenta la Francia all'Eurovision 2018. Racconta la storia vera di Mercy, una bambina nata da una donna africana salvata nel mezzo del Mediterraneo dall'equipaggio della nave Aquarius della ONG SOS Méditerranée. Il nome della bimba significa "Misericordia" in inglese ma in francese suona come "merci", grazie.
Je suis née ce matin
Je m'appelle Mercy
Au milieu de la mer
Entre deux pays, Mercy

C'était un long chemin et Maman l'a pris
Elle m'avait dans la peau, huit mois et demi
Oh oui, huit mois et demi

On a quitté la maison, c'était la guerre
Sûr qu'elle avait raison, y'avait rien à perdre
Oh non, excepté la vie

Je suis née ce matin
Je m'appelle Mercy
On m'a tendu la main
Et je suis en vie
Je suis tous ces enfants
Que la mer a pris
Je vivrai cent mille ans
Je m'appelle Mercy

S'il est urgent de naître
Comprenez aussi
Qu'il est urgent de renaître
Quand tout est détruit, Mercy

Et là devant nos yeux y'avait l'ennemie
Une immensité bleue peut-être infinie
Mais oui, on en connaissait le prix

Surgissant d'une vague, un navire ami
A redonné sa chance à notre survie
C'est là, que j'ai poussé mon premier cri

Je suis née ce matin
Je m'appelle Mercy
On m'a tendu la main
Et je suis en vie
Je suis tous ces enfants
Que la mer a pris
Je vivrai cent mille ans
Je m'appelle Mercy

Derrière les sémaphores, serait-ce le bon port
Que sera demain : face à face ou main dans la main
Que sera demain

Je suis née ce matin
Je m'appelle Mercy
Merci, merci, merci, merci
Merci, merci, je vais bien merci
Merci, merci, merci, merci
Merci, merci, je vais bien merci

Traduzione inglese dal video ufficiale
MERCY

Here is where I was born
With the name Mercy
Somewhere out in between
On the open sea, Mercy

Mama travelled so far
Over every tide
And for nearly nine months
I was safe inside
Oh I, I was safe inside

But she couldn't ignore
What she had to do
Ran away from the war
Nothing left to lose
Oh no, nothing but our lives

Here is where I was born
With the name Mercy
Someone held out a hand
Giving life to me
For all the children lost
To the cold, cold sea
I'll live ten thousand years
With the name Mercy

I had to take a breath
She had to be free
To start again with nothing left
Start a life with me, Mercy

But surrounded by blue, nothing else in sight
If the water won, we would pay the price
Oh we, we'd pay it with our lives

Rising over a wave came another boat
A chance at survival, a sign of hope
Oh my, they sang when they heard me cry

Here is where I was born
With the name Mercy
Someone held out a hand
Giving life to me
For all the children lost
To the cold, cold sea
I'll live ten thousand years
With the name Mercy

Does it mean we're safe and sound
When we're on solid ground
When tomorrow comes
Will we all face it together
When tomorrow comes

Here is where I was born
Je m'appelle Mercy
Merci, merci, merci, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
Merci, merci, merci, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
