Je vois les lumières de ma ville (Je vois les lumières de ma ville)
I see the lights of my city (I see the lights of my city)
Je vois les jeux d'ombres (Je vois les jeux d'ombres)
I see the play of shadows (I see the play of shadows)
Je suis comme la nuit (Je suis comme la nuit)
I am like the night (I am like the night)
Chaque jour je tombe (Chaque jour je tombe)
Every day I fall (Every day I fall)
Les 'iens cherchent du molly (Les 'iens cherchent du molly)
The 'ien are looking for molly (The 'ien are looking for molly)
Mes collègues te montrent la came (Si tu veux d'la came)
My colleagues show you the stuff (If you want some stuff)
Quelques jambes dans mon lit
A few legs in my bed
Quelques pieds dans mon placard
A few feet in my closet
Ce train de vie malsain (Ce train de vie malsain)
This unhealthy way of life (This unhealthy way of life)
Chaque jour est un samedi (Chaque jour est un samedi)
Every day is a Saturday (Every day is a Saturday)
Cinq heures du matin, nouvelle insomnie (Nouvelle insomnie)
Five in the morning, a new insomnia (New insomnia)
Une partie de poker (Une partie de poker)
A game of poker (A game of poker)
Du pain sur la planche à billets
Money on the table
Non, strip poker, ok, je ne veux plus voir de blanche habillée
No, strip poker, okay, I don't want to see any white dressed up
Quand mes gavas font les fous (Quand mes gavas font les fous)
When my friends go wild (When my friends go wild)
Les voisins font les fous
The neighbors go crazy
Mon mot d'excuse dans l'ascenseur "Bonsoir, veuillez vous faire foutre"
My excuse note in the elevator "Good evening, fuck off"
(Veuillez vous faire foutre)
(Fuck off)
Et chaque fois que mes potos boivent trop, comportements de gamins
And every time my buddies drink too much, childish behaviors
Dès qu'on a bien foutu le bazar, on rentre (Brrt)
As soon as we’ve made a good mess, we go home (Brrt)
On finira par se faire jeter de la soirée, poursuivis par des gorilles portant le brassard orange
We'll end up getting kicked out of the party, chased by gorillas in orange armbands
Des gars mal élevés font les malins (Des gars mal élevés font les malins)
Rude guys are showing off (Rude guys are showing off)
J'ai bien fait de ramener ma lame (J'ai bien fait de ramener ma lame)
I was right to bring my blade (I was right to bring my blade)
Il voulait faire de la mala (Il voulait faire de la mala)
He wanted to do some bad stuff (He wanted to do some bad stuff)
C'est pas la peine, non, t'es malade (Houu)
It's not worth it, no, you're crazy (Houu)
I see the stars baby
I see the stars baby
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
Lost in the night
Lost in the night
Living in yesterday, I wanna rule now
Living in yesterday, I wanna rule now
Wake up and we get drunk
Wake up and we get drunk
Don't wanna leave this cold night
Don't wanna leave this cold night
You gonna keep up (You gonna keep up)
You gonna keep up (You gonna keep up)
We gonna leave here faded
We gonna leave here faded
I see the stars, babe
I see the stars, babe
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
Quand t'as pas les millions (Quand t'as pas les millions)
When you don't have the millions (When you don't have the millions)
Devant les boîtes ça t'humilie, hein (Devant les boîtes ça t'humilie)
In front of the clubs, it humiliates you, huh (In front of the clubs, it humiliates)
T'inquiète on a de la sensimelia (La sensimelia)
Don't worry, we got some sensimilla (The sensimilla)
On a même du Saint-Émilion (Du Saint-Émilion)
We even got some Saint-Émilion (Some Saint-Émilion)
Je ne rêve qu'du ciel étoilé (Du ciel étoilé)
I only dream of the starry sky (Of the starry sky)
Pas de rave dans les toilettes (Rave dans les toilettes)
No rave in the toilets (Rave in the toilets)
Mets-toi raide dans des touaregs
Get stiff in some Tuaregs
Mets-toi raide dans les beurettes
Get stiff with the girls from the neighborhoods
Ce petit jet n'a pas d'sens (Ça n'a plus aucun sens)
This little jet makes no sense (It makes no sense anymore)
Obligé d'en venir au cul
Had to end up at the backside
Elles me font des avances
They’re making advances on me
Je me prends du recul
I'm taking a step back
I see the stars baby
I see the stars baby
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
Lost in the night
Lost in the night
Living in yesterday, I wanna rule now
Living in yesterday, I wanna rule now
Wake up and we get drunk
Wake up and we get drunk
Don't wanna leave this cold night
Don't wanna leave this cold night
You gonna keep up (You gonna keep up)
You gonna keep up (You gonna keep up)
We gonna leave here faded
We gonna leave here faded
I see the stars, babe
I see the stars, babe
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
We gonna get away, you gonna lead the way
