Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Inachevés by Casseurs Flowters from French to English.

Intro

I don't finish my sentences, I don't know periods

I'll start the day after tomorrow, I don't control fate

Nothing's good enough, I never finish anything

Half the lines would be missing if I had to draw you a picture

In tribute to all the wasted chances

To our stories dead before they even started

To the hours let go by, to the buddies never called back

To the jobs I quit, to the doors I slammed

To everything I'll leave

Unfinished, unfinished, unfinished, unfinished, unfinished, unfinished

As a teen my only goal was to score baskets

Of course I blew it all for one game I didn't play

Obviously I'm gonna do the same with music

No need for a good reason, anyway I'm not supposed to rap

To all the truths I didn't dare admit to myself

My girl busts my balls and I don't have the balls to ditch her

I wait for her to dump me, arms crossed waiting for what's next

Forward into escape, I wait for glory, I wait for her to beep me

Unable to choose I'm like my action figures

Useless, I stay home, I give up

Unfinished

A prototype, a beta version

One answer to every question, "I don't know"

Like a failure notice in the playlist

Like a whiff of giving-up on the set list

I do nothing all-in so I'd only be half sad

And just like everything I've done up till now

I won't even finish my verse

Why, when she's waiting for me nicely

Do I spend all my nights gaming?

Why do I cowardly dodge her when I feel she's torn?

I can't find answers, maybe I'm like Mario

Head in the clouds looking for a hidden life

I don't count my relationships anymore

Girl or upgraded hand-job, I don't see the diff so she leaves pissed

I tried to change things, tell her with roses

Save her from my neuroses but like school that passed quick

And I feel a kind of void

I've never finished anything except what I set out to wreck

Completely detached I listen to myself tell stories

The world can wait for me even if I'm the only one who believes it

We should sit down and talk

Talk yeah we'll see that tomorrow

Right now I'm meeting my buddies, it's Thursday night

Lousy lifestyle, I swallow the pill sadly

I refuse to face the truth, I build conspiracies

Been faking a long time convinced I'm freezing time

Unable to see all my shelters are my graves

Slow on the draw, bad over distance

A few milliseconds away from letting my moment slip

Head full of doubt, confusing doing nothing with patience

I'm not talking chivalry when I say I won't let chances pass anymore

Mediocrity starts where passions die

It's dumb but I need this sh*t to feel my heart beat

I've bet so much on my weaknesses and flaws

I deserve a medal, in the end I only shone by my absences

What are you talking about? I'm talking about me, about making choices

If you give up nothing you don't choose, I gotta get out of here

And we talk and we talk about leaving while we stay here

But if we take off it's downward, we get used to it, we barely live

From now on I'm starting my climb

I'm no longer scared of the void, of facing the bottomless spiral

So I quit quitting, I give up giving up

If I have to finish one thing it's this f*cking song

And it's the first bar of my life after

And it's been 15 years everyone says "it'll pass"

But if you listen to people who sleep dreams never come

I don't wanna grow old jaded at fifty with the urge gone

So I'll drop my last flows till I'm dehydrated

And if the urge to trash it all shows up tell it to call back

If the booth ever blows up I'll rap even under a steel rain

I'll finish writing slicing my veins on broken glass

If death knocks and says "You're on my list"

Tell her to come back later, tell her to beat it, tell her to do backing vocals

Or let me tell her "Shut the f*ck up, I'm not done rapping"

I'll never leave with the story unfinished

SONG MEANING

Inachevés, which literally means Unfinished, plays out like an inner monologue from two chronic procrastinators who are finally fed up with their own half-baked lives. Line after line, Orelsan and Gringe tick off everything they never see through: relationships, jobs, basketball dreams, even their own rap verses. The chorus repeats inachevé like a guilty echo, capturing that sinking feeling of letting chances slip away while convincing yourself tomorrow will be different.

Yet the track is not just self-pity, it is a turning point. As the beat rolls on, the duo flip their frustration into a vow: if there is one thing they will finish, it is this very song. That promise becomes a metaphor for taking control, ditching excuses, and finally choosing action over apathy. In other words, “Inachevés” is an anthem for anyone who has ever stared at a blank page, a missed call, or an unopened opportunity and thought, “Enough. The next chapter starts now.”
