Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Laissez Passer by Gims from French to English.

Mr. Djuna, I'm worried about your future

Mr. Teacher, you don't know the future

Maybe your own kids listen to my music

And the 458 is in the parking lot

Mr. Djuna, the vehicle papers

Officer, I only have hits

Maybe you flashed me in town

You who wanted a photo for your daughter

So go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Yeah go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Let me through, I'll handle it

Let me through, I'll make you forget

Let me handle it, let me make you forget

All the harm they do you, I'll be your shield

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Mr. Djuna, please turn the music down

Go tell that to the ones vibing on the floor

The DJ's about to play the biggest hit

Doliprane will keep you company

Mr. Djuna, this year you must vote, yeah

Don't ask me to help you rob us, yeah

Taxes only serve to pay for your sports cars

Your speeches are lies we gloss over

So go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Yeah go on, keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Keep talking, we don't care, care, care

Let me through, I'll handle it

Let me through, I'll make you forget

Let me handle it, let me make you forget

All the harm they do you, I'll be your shield

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

I'm guilty of being a bit too dreamy

My heart was right

I own everything, yeah even my mistakes

Stuck in my dreams

So I'll skip your lessons

I've got all my wits

Let the sound speak

Keep all your questions

I'll skip your lessons

I've got all my wits

Let the sound speak

Keep all your questions

Let me through, I'll handle it

Let me through, I'll make you forget

Let me handle it, let me make you forget

All the harm they do you, I'll be your shield

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Ba, da, da, da, ba, de, ba, ba de

Heyyy heyyy, heyyy

Outro

Let me through, I'll handle it

Let me through, I'll make you forget

Let me handle it, let me make you forget

All the harm they do you, I'll be your shield

SONG MEANING

“Laissez Passer” is Gims’ playful way of saying make room, the music will speak for itself. Through imagined conversations with authority figures – a worried teacher, a police officer, a pushy politician – the Congolese-French superstar shrugs off criticism and hypocrisy with humor and swagger. Whenever they tell him to turn the volume down or follow their rules, he answers: “Vas-y, cause toujours, on s’en tape.” In other words: keep talking, I’m not listening.

Beneath the catchy chorus and the nonsensical “Ba-da-da” chant, the song carries a message of self-confidence and protection. Gims stands as a bouclier – a shield – for anyone hurt by judgment or injustice, promising to help them forget all the harm. It is a feel-good anthem about trusting your own vision, blasting negativity away with music, and dancing past the noise of doubters and corrupt officials. Turn it up and let the beat clear the path!
