La Loi De Murphy Lyrics in English Angèle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Loi De Murphy by Angèle from French to English.
Everything was going well, no obligation
Thought I'd make a getaway on a chill-out day
A coffee to take away, I got my hair done
Should've been a lovely day, didn't end that way
Then it all went to sh*t, first there was the rain
Murphy's Law decided to bury my blow-dry
A guy asks me for directions, I nicely help him out
Turns out it was just a pick-up, that d*ck made me miss my tram
I take the chance, stop by the bank, let granny go ahead
If only I'd known she'd print every statement from the year
I'd have shoved her and trapped her in the automatic door
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Thinking it would be okay, with these directions
What the f*ck, I should've stayed in bed
Netflix and honey tea, curled up in my bed
Would be better in my sweater
Than be outside in this weather
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
When it was my turn at the bank
I told myself it was time
I quickly realized it wasn't my day
It was written on that screen
That Murphy was out to get me
This withdrawal's impossible
Due to insufficient funds
Murphy said so
Murphy said so
Murphy said so
Murphy said so
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too

SONG MEANING

La Loi De Murphy is Angèle’s witty musical nod to Murphy’s Law: if anything can go wrong, it will. The Belgian singer plans a perfect, laid-back day—fresh hairstyle, takeaway coffee, no real duties—but the universe has other ideas. Rain kills the blow-dry, a “helpful” stranger’s pickup attempt makes her miss the tram, and a sweet grandma at the bank hogs the counter so long that Angèle discovers her account is empty. Each tiny mishap piles on like a slapstick snowball, turning a chill Sunday into a comedy of errors.

Rather than sulk, Angèle turns the chaos into a dance-floor anthem. The punchy chorus (“One time, never give it up…”) is a cheeky mantra that invites us to shimmy past bad luck, embrace imperfection, and laugh at life’s little ambushes. The song reminds learners that setbacks are universal; what matters is the rhythm you choose while navigating them.
