Pour Un Pote Lyrics in English Bigflo & Oli , Jean Dujardin

Home / Lyrics Translation / Bigflo & Oli / Pour Un Pote

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pour Un Pote by Bigflo & Oli from French to English.

Even if it'd be a tragedy to lose her

For a buddy

I could leave

The most beautiful woman on Earth

Let him choose

My future kid's name

Leave for six months

Learn Chinese in Scotland

I could say no

On my wedding day if he asks me

Leave a loving woman

And leave here if he takes me along

We'd go pitch a tent

On a mountain deep in France

Trigger an avalanche

But laugh anyway

Win the lottery

Give him every cent

Give him a summary

If he goes to pee during the movie

Pretend to lose

To make him happy

Tell him his girl is beautiful

To make him happy

I could insult a boxer

Hit on a nun

For a good two hours

And get slapped

Do the dishes gladly

Live in a bunker

You're just an impostor

There, I just roasted you

Follow him in his crazy schemes

Carry his suitcases

Walk his goldfish

And go surf in Nice

I cling to him so he won't drop me

I'd follow him to the ends of the earth

But he mustn't know it

I could whip out the katana

For a buddy

Sleep with piranhas

For a buddy

Open a bar in the Sahara

For a buddy

Tell him I'm fine even when I'm not

For a buddy

Take the first plane to Rio

For a buddy

Keep a kidney for him in the fridge

For a buddy

I could go around the world

Lie to his mom

I could, I could, I could

click, click, brah

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

I could go to prison

Even if I did nothing

Face my boss and tell him

You're just weak

I could handle any pressure

Haul a corpse at night

Without asking any question

I could steal a kid's lollipop

Take a rifle butt hit

Slip on a bikini and some gloss

I could catch scabies, be starving

Sweep the floor and get sentenced

Lend him 10,000 bucks

And have him never pay me back

I could stick my whole neck

Under the guillotine

I could head-butt

my girlfriend

Sorry babe, I know

I do weird stuff

But just know I'd let him have

Even the last slice of pizza

Get up at four in the morning

To go help him out

Lend him my room for a month

And let him stay there for years

I could do all that for him

Even if he's an a**hole

And I might even make him a track

I could whip out the katana

For a buddy

Sleep with piranhas

For a buddy

Open a bar in the Sahara

For a buddy

Tell him I'm fine even when I'm not

For a buddy

Take the first plane to Rio

For a buddy

Keep a kidney for him in the fridge

For a buddy

I could go around the world

Lie to his mom

I could, I could, I could

Click, click, brah

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

So guys, explain to me

What's a buddy exactly

A kind of brother there at every moment

When sometimes you're nauseous

On the verge of blowing up

The only thing you can

lean on

Yeah but I've got my bed for that

No, Brice, you don't get it

What we're telling you, your friend

is your only shield

And family

And family is for life

But there's the default one

And the one you choose

But what do I get out of it

Nothing, except laughs and troubles

So no cash and no salary

Nope, nothing

And listen, if you get lost along the way

He'd give everything he doesn't have

if you really need it

Thanks, guys

I think I get what a friend is worth

The only one who could surf with me

on the day of a tsunami

When sometimes I'm nauseous

when my heart weighs tons

So guys, we're buddies

It's true

No, I'm kidding

I could whip out the katana

Uh, yeah, or not

Sleep with piranhas

You'll tell me about it!

Open a bar in the Sahara

Without me!

Tell him I'm fine even when I'm not

That doesn't mean anything

Take the first plane to Rio

Rio!

Keep a kidney for him in the fridge

Whatever

I could go around the world

Lie to his mom

I could, I could, I could

Click, click, brah

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

People often tell me, "stop it already"

You're gonna get yourself in sh*t

You know life isn't a game

You think he'd do the same for you

SONG MEANING

Pour Un Pote is a humorous yet heartfelt declaration of extreme friendship. Over a rapid-fire list of outrageous promises — from giving away lottery winnings to learning Chinese in Scotland — Bigflo & Oli paint a cartoonish picture of the lengths someone might go to help a buddy. Each over-the-top scenario is both funny and relatable, showing how friendship can feel limitless when loyalty and affection take over.

Beneath the jokes lies a real question: How far is too far, and would your friend do the same for you? Jean Dujardin’s playful interjections tease out this doubt, reminding listeners that true companionship is chosen, not owed, and that genuine support is measured in shared laughs more than grand gestures. The song ultimately celebrates the messy, priceless bond we call friendship, inviting us to laugh at the exaggerations while recognizing the sincere love at its core.
