Les Rues De Ma Peine Lyrics in English Amir

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Rues De Ma Peine by Amir from French to English.
Everybody speaks their own language
Very often it sways
Between Ying and Yang
You hold me back, you strap me down
When you go too far I sometimes choke
The words from my mind have sometimes outrun me
For once, come on, let's wipe it out
Let's forget our beauties, we pushed ourselves aside
I want us to look each other straight in the face
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
When I'm lost
I want you to bring me back
I want us to feel good
I want us to go far
And to hang out
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
Love kills
Except when you fight hard
I want us to do it right
I want us to go far
And to hang out
The tone rises, we slide downhill
Sometimes I screw up between the friend and the lover
The demons sing and deny us
To protect you, do I have to lie to you
Hanging non-stop on the thread of our tides
A wave in the soul that goes beyond us
Stuck to our egos, set like Legos
I want us to leave each other some space
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
When I'm lost
I want you to bring me back
I want us to feel good
I want us to go far
And to hang out
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
Love kills
Except when you fight hard
I want us to do it right
I want us to go far
And to hang out
And even if the wind blows in gusts
The perfect time
Is when we shelter ourselves
To watch the stars
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
When I'm lost
I want you to bring me back
I want us to feel good
I want us to go far
And to hang out
I won't squat anymore
The streets of my pain
Love kills
Except when you fight hard
I want us to do it right
I want us to go far
And to hang out

SONG MEANING

“Les Rues De Ma Peine” is a heartfelt road-trip through the maze of modern love. Amir sings about those moments when two people speak “different languages,” swing between yin and yang, and let their egos click together like LEGO bricks. The narrator feels the pull of doubt, slips into the “streets of his sorrow,” yet he refuses to stay lost. Instead, he pleads with his partner: When I’m wandering, come find me, pull me back, and let’s walk on together.

Beneath the catchy pop melody hides a gentle reminder that love can wound, but it only truly “kills” when we stop fighting for it. Amir admits he sometimes confuses friend and lover, truth and protective lie, but he dreams of clearing the slate, giving each other space, and chasing distant horizons side by side. The song’s message is simple and uplifting: leave your private alleys of pain, meet each other face to face, and turn every storm into a starlit detour worth exploring.
