Terrain Lyrics in English by Booba
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Terrain by Booba from French to English.
Vas-y
Go ahead
Beaucoup trop d'banlieusards au shtar
Too many suburbanites in jail
Le responsable c'est leur bigo
The culprit is their phone
J'vais m'faire péter chez un koffar, décapsuler 70 gos
I'm gonna get high at a non-believer's place, uncork 70 girls
Dans l'rap, B2O c'est un cauchemar, 92 parle en kilos
In rap, B2O is a nightmare, 92 speaks in kilos
Comme la police, t'arrives trop tard
Like the police, you arrive too late
Sur le trône à jamais amigo

Coup d'coude dans ta mère sur 'Tchikita'

J'espère régner aussi longtemps qu'Abdelaziz Bouteflika

Faut battre le fer quand il est chaud
You have to strike while the iron is hot
Abattre le frère quand il est faux

Comme Niska, j'suis dans le truc

Va pas trop loin, j't'ai averti
Don't go too far, I warned you
On était apprentis leur-dea

Pendant qu'il tirait des birdies

Il faudra m'avoir sur le terrain
You'll have to get me on the field
Il faudra m'avoir sur le terrain

Il faudra m'avoir sur le terrain
You'll have to get me on the field
Il faudra m'avoir sur le terrain

C'est toujours la même histoire

Devant les tenues bleues marines

Tout c'qui te donne de l'espoir

Petit, je regardais Mickey, rêvais de crime organisé

Did you like this lyrics translation?
koffar — infidel / non-believer
Koffar is a slang term derived from the Arabic word "kafir," meaning "infidel" or "non-believer." It's a provocative and somewhat controversial word that stands out in the lyrics.
In the context of the song, Booba uses it to refer to someone outside of his immediate circle or community, often with a dismissive or confrontational tone. Its inclusion makes the lyrics more gritty and authentic to a certain street lexicon, offering a glimpse into a specific cultural and linguistic subset.
