Défilé Lyrics in English by Bosh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Défilé by Bosh from French to English.
Ola, ola, ola
Ola, ola, ola
Ola, ola, ola
Ola, ola, ola
Soleil se lève, j'me lève aussi
The sun rises, I get up too
J'ai dû dormir quatre heures cette nuit (quatre heures cette nuit)
I must've slept four hours last night (four hours last night)
J'dois m'éloigner des portes de l'enfer
I must get away from the gates of hell
Mais j'fais du sale comme pas permis (ola)
But I do dirty sh*t like it's not allowed (ola)
Tu cherches de la moula? (Moula) On t'visser nous (t'visser nous)
You looking for moula? (Moula) We'll get you (we'll get you)
Tu veux plus de moula? (De moula) On en a nous (on en a)
You want more moula? (More moula) We got some (we got some)
La gue-dro qu'tu mes-fu, devine qui l'amène (devine qui l'amène)
The drug you smoke, guess who brings it (guess who brings it)
Ients-cli jamais déçus, on sait c'qu'on ramène
Clients never disappointed, we know what we bring
Les ients-cli passent et puis repassent, comme dans un défilé
The clients come and go, like in a parade
Les condés passent et puis repassent, avec les gros filets
The cops come and go, with the big nets
Des frérots tombent, les années passent, le temps fait qu'défiler
Bros fall, years pass, time just keeps passing
Les ients-cli passent et puis repassent, comme dans un défilé
The clients come and go, like in a parade
Dans une sale histoire, auditionné (auditionné)
In a dirty business, questioned (questioned)
L'OPJ fait qu'me questionner
The police officer just keeps questioning me
Pas d'langue de chat, j'donne aucun se-bla
No snitching, I don't give any names
Rien vu, rien entendu, c'est comme ça ma loi
Saw nothing, heard nothing, that's my law
Continue d'parler, ouais, ouais, ouais
Keep talking, yeah, yeah, yeah
J'regarde l'heure sur la pendule en vrai
I look at the time on the clock, for real
Quarante-huit heures passées, ouais, ouais, ouais
Forty-eight hours passed, yeah, yeah, yeah
Et j'retourne en cellule, pioncer
And I go back to my cell, to sleep
Y aucune preuve en vrai, j'le sais, alibi solide, ouais
There's no real proof, I know it, solid alibi, yeah
J'refais mes lacets, ouais, ouais, ouais, et j'continue d'brasser (brasser)
I retie my laces, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I keep hustling (hustle)
Les ients-cli passent et puis repassent, comme dans un défilé
The clients come and go, like in a parade
Les condés passent et puis repassent, avec les gros filets
The cops come and go, with the big nets
Des frérots tombent, les années passent, le temps fait qu'défiler
Bros fall, years pass, time just keeps passing
Les ients-cli passent et puis repassent, comme dans un défilé
The clients come and go, like in a parade
Tu cherches de la moula? (Moula) On t'visser nous (t'visser nous)
You looking for moula? (Moula) We'll get you (we'll get you)
Tu veux plus de moula? (De moula) On en a nous (on en a)
You want more moula? (More moula) We got some (we got some)
La gue-dro qu'tu mes-fu, devine qui l'amène (devine qui l'amène)
The drug you smoke, guess who brings it (guess who brings it)
Ients-cli jamais déçus, on sait c'qu'on ramène
Clients never disappointed, we know what we bring

Did you like this lyrics translation?

défilé — parade / procession

Défilé literally translates to "parade" or "procession". It's an interesting word because it can refer to a fashion show, a military parade, or simply a continuous stream of people or things passing by.

In this song, Bosh uses it to describe the constant flow of clients ("ients-cli passent et puis repassent, comme dans un défilé") and police ("condés passent et puis repassent, avec les gros filets"). This creates a vivid image of the relentless, cyclical nature of his life and activities, making it a central and memorable metaphor in the lyrics.
