Description
The heavy air of the nite city is as if saturated with the sounds of sirens and the sweetish smell of an orange squeezed to the last drop. It seems like a regular get-together: a little music, a few jokes, a little something "for the mood." But somewhere between the syringe and the sip of the cocktail, reality quietly falls out of sync. Some are wheeling and dealing, others are shaping destinies - and it's all in one beat, on repeat, until someone breaks down. And then - the familiar "ferme, ferme, ferme." It's like fate is hitting the "repeat" button, only with a verdict instead of a chorus. Everyone is equally vulnerable here: students, workers, schoolchildren. Everyone is just looking for a way out - or a way to forget - in their own underground metro. The music thumps like wheels on rails: steady, cold, and without stopping.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Co-cocaïne dans le jean
Samir rejoint quelques clients à Porte Dauphine
Mademoiselle devient folle avec ses amis intimes
Un garrot, une seringue et "bim" et "bim"
Mais elle a mis plus de jus que dans une orange sanguine
Elle a fini en drame cette soirée entre copines
Il est six heures du mat' quand les keufs font "dring"
Il vendait de la dope mais il comparaît pour crime
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Sam a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Sam a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Sam a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Sam a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il rentrait du taffe la routine-tine
Et comme il y avait des travaux sur la ligne, ligne
Son patron l'a laissé repartir plus tôt
Redouane sauta dans le premier métro
Il acheta un bouquet de fleurs
Pour l'élue de son cœur
Il poussa la porte d'entrée
Trouve sa femme entrain de se faire fourrer
Vous connaissez la suite, suite, suite
Du sang sur les draps, des "click" des "click"
Vous connaissez la suite, suite, suite
Des "click, click, click"
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Redouane a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Redouane a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Redouane a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 20 piges, piges, piges
Redouane a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il sortait du lycée clean, clean
S'en va rejoindre sa team, team, team
Le bedo, les copines-pines-pines
Les devoirs et les centimes-times-times
Pas de thunes dans les poches pour changer de paysage
Des potos l'appellent, font un cambriolage
Moussa décide de les rejoindre pour per-ta à la console
Il se dit qu'il pourra jouer et ne plus traîner devant le hall
Mais ce qu'il ne savait pas, pas, pas
C'est que dans la chambre du haut, haut, haut
Ils avaient ligoté les rents-pa-pa-pa
Comprenez qu'il tombe de haut, haut, haut
Il a pris 15 piges, piges, piges
Moussa a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 15 piges, piges, piges
Moussa a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 15 piges, piges, piges
Moussa a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
Il a pris 15 piges, piges, piges
Moussa a pris du ferme, ferme, ferme
English translation
Cocaine in the jeans
Samir joins some clients at Porte Dauphine
Mademoiselle goes crazy with her close friends
A tourniquet, a syringe and “bim” and “bim”
But she put more juice than in a blood orange
She ended this evening with friends in drama
It's six o'clock in the morning when the guys go "dring"
He was selling dope but he's on trial for crime
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Sam got firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Sam got firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Sam got firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Sam got firm, firm, firm
He was coming back from his routine job
And as there was work on the line, line
His boss let him leave early
Redouane jumped on the first metro
He bought a bouquet of flowers
For the one of his heart
He pushed the front door
Finds his wife getting fucked
You know the rest, the rest, the rest
Blood on the sheets, clicks, clicks
You know the rest, the rest, the rest
“Click, click, click”
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Redouane took firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Redouane took firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Redouane took firm, firm, firm
He took 20 counts, counts, counts
Redouane took firm, firm, firm
He came out of high school clean, clean
Goes to join his team, team, team
The bed, the girlfriends-pines-pines
Homework and pennies-times-times
No money in your pockets to change scenery
Friends call him, do a burglary
Moussa decides to join them to play at the console
He tells himself that he will be able to play and no longer hang around in front of the hall
But what he didn't know, not, not
It's only in the upstairs room, up, up
They had tied up the rents-pa-pa-pa
Understand that he's falling from high, high, high
He took 15 counts, counts, counts
Moussa took firm, firm, firm
He took 15 counts, counts, counts
Moussa took firm, firm, firm
He took 15 counts, counts, counts
Moussa took firm, firm, firm
He took 15 counts, counts, counts
Moussa took firm, firm, firm
