Je Suis Chez Moi Lyrics in English Black M

Home / Lyrics Translation / Black M / Je Suis Chez Moi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Suis Chez Moi by Black M from French to English.

Everybody's watching me

Through my innocence

I think they're charming me

My schoolteacher told me I was at home

But my dad still doesn't trust her, is she faithful?

France is beautiful

But she looks down on me like the Eiffel Tower

My parents didn't bring me into the world to collect benefits

I saw Marion tweeted me, what's she meddling in?

I know she loves me

I'm French

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I'm French

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I pay my taxes

I didn't think love could be a fight

At first I just wanted to pay her tribute

I'm torn like my grandpa

They know it, that's a shame

Pretty Marianne

I'd rather see nothing like Amadou & Mariam

Come eat some good mafé at my aunt's

I know one day you'll declare your love for me, ay ay ay

I'm French

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I'm French

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I'm at home

at home, at home

I'm at home

at home, at home, at home

Outro

I'm at home

at home, at home

I'm at home

at home, at home

I'm French

at home, at home

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

at home, at home

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

at home, at home

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I'm French

They don't want Marianne to be my fiancée

Maybe 'cause they think I'm too dark

Just let me invite her to dance

I'll set the vibe

I'm black

I'm Arab

I'm yellow

I'm white

I'm a human like you

I'm at home

Proud to be French of Guinean origin

Proud to be Mr. Diallo's son

Forever unsatisfied

To be continued

SONG MEANING

“Je Suis Chez Moi” is Black M’s bright, cheeky love-letter to France and a punchy reply to anyone who questions his right to call the country home. Over a catchy beat, the French-Guinean rapper imagines wooing Marianne (the symbol of the Republic) while side-eyeing politicians and onlookers who judge him by his skin tone. He reminds them that he pays taxes, cooks mafé with his aunt, and dreams under the same Eiffel Tower they do, so why shouldn’t Marianne be his fiancée?

The song mixes humor, pride, and social commentary to celebrate a colorful, multicultural France. Each chorus insists “Je suis chez moi” (“I am at home”) like a joyful chant of belonging, and the final roll call of colors—black, Arab, yellow, white—drives home that humanity is one family. Black M transforms personal experience into an anthem for anyone who has ever felt looked at sideways yet knows, deep down, that they belong right where they stand.
