La Grenade Lyrics in English Clara Luciani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Grenade by Clara Luciani from French to English.
Hey you
What are you looking at?
You've never seen a woman fight?
Follow me
Into the pale city
And I'll show you
How I bite, how I bark
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Hey you
But what do you think?
I'm just an animal
Disguised as a Madonna
Hey you
I could hurt you
I could wound you, yeah
In the shivering night
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Hey you
What do you imagine?
I'm just as voracious
Just as alive as you
Do you know
That there under my chest
A rage lies sleeping
You don't suspect?
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Beware, beneath my breast, the grenade
Under my breast, look there
Under my breast, the grenade
Outro
Beware

SONG MEANING

La Grenade is Clara Luciani’s rallying cry for fierce femininity. In this punchy anthem, she looks a judgmental onlooker straight in the eye and warns: “Under my breast, a grenade.” The lyric paints a picture of a woman who might appear calm and classy on the surface yet hides an explosive power built from anger, pride, and self-defence. She is “an animal disguised as a Madonna,” ready to snarl, bite, and prove she is “as voracious, as alive” as anyone who dares doubt her.

More than a threat, the song is a celebration of inner strength. Luciani invites us to follow her through a pale, hostile city and witness how she refuses to shrink. Every refrain reminds listeners that beneath softness can lie unstoppable force. La Grenade champions the right to protect one’s dignity, demanding respect for women’s complexity, rage, and brilliance. The result is a contagious, empowering declaration that dares anyone to underestimate its singer – or any woman who carries her own “grenade” of resilience inside.
