Bamboula va faire de la mula

Bamboula's gonna make some money

Doucement mais salement

Slowly but dirtily

Avant de te séduire, je serai très élégant

Before I seduce you, I'll be very elegant

À aboyer sans mordre, tu vas te casser les dents

Barking without biting, you're gonna break your teeth

Avant de les détruire, je laisse parler les gens

Before I destroy them, I let people talk

J'n'aurai jamais d'tour d'ivoire, je n'tue pas l'éléphant

I'll never have an ivory tower, I don't kill the elephant

Les mieux armés, Kalash, Uzi, sont les mieux lotis

The best armed, Kalash, Uzi, are the best off

J'ai la queue qui trempe dans l'eau, je pisse du piloti

My d*ck's in the water, I piss concrete

Train de vie très noir, donc sombre mélodie

Very dark lifestyle, so dark melody

UKT pour rentrer en cérémonie

UKT to enter the ceremony

Fonce-dé j'suis un peu parano, j'mets l'pompe dans l'jacuzzi

Stoned I'm a bit paranoid, I put the shotgun in the jacuzzi

On t'fait parler à la tronçonneuse, kho, dans le monde à Tony

We make you talk with a chainsaw, bro, in Tony's world

Carla Bruni joue de la gratte à Sarkozy

Carla Bruni plays guitar for Sarkozy

Petite Marocaine se tape Berlusconi, izi

Little Moroccan girl sleeps with Berlusconi, easy

J'suis connu en Inde, à Champigny

I'm known in India, in Champigny

Ta dinde veut faire un tour d'Lamborghini

Your b*tch wants a ride in a Lamborghini

En niquant beaucoup d'mères, on s'bonifie

By f*cking a lot of mothers, we get better

Tirs d'obus sur fils de shmeh' s'intensifient

Shellfire on sons of snitches intensifies

Dans sa merde, si on y est bien, on y vit

In his sh*t, if we're good there, we live there

Mon département aime blanche de Bolivie

My hood likes Bolivian white

La cocaïne est plutôt bonne ici

The cocaine is pretty good here

Mental de fer, tout le monde a fait d'la taule ici

Iron mindset, everyone's done time here

On dit jamais c'qu'on fait, mais on fait toujours c'qu'on a dit

We never say what we do, but we always do what we said

Tu vas savoir qui j'suis, j'rentre dans ta schneck, j'sors mon ID

You're gonna know who I am, I go in your c*nt, I pull out my ID

'Si t'as pas la mula, toi Bamboula bouge' la pute elle m'dit

'If you don't have money, you Bamboula move' the b*tch tells me

Bouge pas, allô, Vincent, moi vouloir argent Vivendi

Don't move, hello, Vincent, I want Vivendi money

Qui affronte le DUC court à une fin tragique

Whoever confronts the DUC runs to a tragic end

'Nique ta mère la pute' sur ma carte de visite

'F*ck your mother the b*tch' on my business card

Six Jordan sous terre c'est résolu

Six Jordans underground, it's resolved

Les hommes comme toi font qu'personne évolue

Men like you make it so nobody evolves

Qui sont-ils vraiment? Je m'interroge

Who are they really? I wonder

J'fais Sept À Huit, mes ennemis sont devant la téloche

I'm on Sept À Huit, my enemies are in front of the TV

Nwarmalement au Camp des Loges

Normally at Camp des Loges

Quand j'ferai l'Parc des Princes Armand sera dans ses loges

When I play Parc des Princes, Armand will be in his box

Oulala, Bamboula va faire de la mula

Oulala, Bamboula's gonna make some money

Oulala

Oulala, Bamboula va faire de la mula

Oulala, Bamboula's gonna make some money

Oulala

Oulala, oula-oula-oulala

Oulala, Bamboula va faire de la mula

Oulala, Bamboula's gonna make some money

Oulala, oula-oula-oulala

Oulala, Bamboula va faire de la mula

Oulala, Bamboula's gonna make some money

Did you like this lyrics translation?

mula — money

Mula literally translates to "mule" in French, but in slang, it's a common term for "money" or "cash". It's a vivid example of how language evolves and takes on new meanings in different contexts.

In Booba's lyrics, "Bamboula va faire de la mula" means "Bamboula is going to make some money." This word is interesting because it's a slang term that adds a layer of street credibility and authenticity to the song, making it engaging for learners interested in contemporary French. It's also a word that you wouldn't typically find in a formal dictionary, highlighting the richness of informal language.
