Dans Ma Rue Lyrics in English Féfé

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dans Ma Rue by Féfé from French to English.
Far from happiness and islands
Where misery settles in
Close to the hallway where the oppressed
Console themselves with ifs
No paths left, no landmarks, only shortcuts
For the most part trapped, trapped, trapped
When eating's a whole movie
And feeding your people is your role
The street hands you a few scenes
Pulled from bad scripts
For one shot she can hand you every plan imaginable
But hey tomorrow who knows, who knows, who knows
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
I want sun from the homeland
oye oye oye oye
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
On the cherished asphalt
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
When we've got nothing else to do
We go with it by default
Only the ones who haven't hit rock bottom
Who talk about it like a trophy
No first or second place here
The more you're in it the more you lose, you lose, you lose
When she's all we've got
We dream of being elsewhere
Because she's got everything we love
Even far from her we love her
She makes us grow, tells us a lot about what's ahead
All so we can leave her better, leave her, leave her
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
I want sun from the homeland
oye oye oye oye
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
On the cherished asphalt
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
I want sun from the homeland
oye oye oye oye
I want some sun
oye oye oye oye
On the cherished asphalt
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
Nothing new on my street
Just an alley of hazards, no future
What, what, what does she know about it
What does she know about it
What does she know about it at all, at all, at all
Nothing new on my street
huh
Yeah in my street

SONG MEANING

Dans Ma Rue paints a raw yet poetic portrait of life in a tough French neighborhood, where hope feels as scarce as sunshine between concrete walls. Féfé invites us to walk the asphalt with him, showing how hunger, uncertainty and dead-end shortcuts shape everyday survival. The catchy chant "J'veux du soleil" acts like a chorus of longing, a bright dream that breaks through the grey, proving that even the most battered spirits still reach for warmth and light.

At the same time, the song wrestles with an intense love-hate relationship with “la rue.” It is both prison and playground, teacher and thief: it hardens its residents, steals their future, yet secretly raises them and binds them together. By repeating "Rien de neuf dans ma rue" (nothing new in my street), Féfé underscores the cycle of stagnation, while the rhythmic energy of the music keeps the listener moving forward. The result is an anthem of resilience that blends melancholy with defiant optimism, urging us to see beyond despair and search for our own slice of sun.
