À L’heure Où Je Me Couche Lyrics in English Casseurs Flowters

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song À L’heure Où Je Me Couche by Casseurs Flowters from French to English.
One day we came into the world
Since then we've waited for the world to come to us
All the better if the road is long
We'll be able to take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
I face life like a blind guy with a Walkman
Like a glitch in their program
Your dreams are my nightmares
I'll be 20 my whole life, it's never too late
Even if it means losing the North
Not sure the night gives advice when you hang outside
Let me do what I do best
I'll keep my bullsh*t up till they take me seriously
One day we came into the world
Since then we've waited for the world to come to us
All the better if the road is long
We'll be able to take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
Don't ask me what the future's got in store, I don't know
It's been forever since I went outta my place
My mood's in a sad state
Living day to day like the next one didn't exist
Sick of watching the world from afar
I gotta flee my city and its corners
Find out what tomorrow looks like
Nobody wishes me good luck
But I won't spend my life wondering when it starts
One day we came into the world
Since then we've waited for the world to come to us
All the better if the road is long
We'll be able to take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
Like a Monday morning hangover
Feel like turning back halfway down the road
When the whole city keeps telling you you ain't going anywhere
Like a sleepwalker on the edge of a cliff
Feel like calling for help, somebody to hold your hand
When all you know how to do is put it off till later
When I'm going to bed, as the birds sing
The neighbor heads to work while I fall asleep with bitterness
And anxiety in my gut
Life flies by, I can't wait any longer
What if I ended up stuck forever between my bedroom walls
There's nothing to get when you grow up in a diving suit
We get up, we loaf around, we kill boredom in a shopping mall
I don't wanna be absent from my own life anymore
Watching our little stories pass by next to the big one
One day we came into the world
Since then we've waited for the world to come to us
All the better if the road is long
We'll be able to take a few more detours
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed
The future belongs to those who get up when I'm going to bed

SONG MEANING

À L’heure Où Je Me Couche is the ultimate night-owl anthem from French duo Casseurs Flowters. Riding a laid-back beat, the rappers confess that they only really come alive when everyone else is heading to work. The repeated line "L'avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent à l'heure où je me couche" (“The future belongs to those who wake up when I go to bed”) flips the classic proverb on its head, mocking society’s early-bird mentality while admitting their own chronic lateness, hangovers, and endless detours.

Beneath the humor, the song paints a relatable portrait of twenty-something drift: fear of missing out, procrastination, and the anxiety of watching life speed by from a bedroom window. Yet the duo’s wit keeps things playful, turning self-doubt into a rallying cry to live on their own timetable. It’s a bittersweet celebration of staying up, dreaming big, and refusing to let the clock—or anyone else—decide when life should finally start.
