Désolé Lyrics in English by GLK

Broutilles literally translates to "trifles" or "petty things". It's an interesting word because it's not commonly heard in everyday conversation or many songs, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, GLK uses it to describe the small, insignificant reasons why people turn on each other or get involved in criminal activities. He contrasts these "broutilles" with the "gros chiffres" (big numbers) and "boîtes" (boxes, likely referring to large quantities of drugs or money) that he and his crew are focused on, highlighting a difference in their priorities and scale of operations.

GLK's "Désolé" is a high-energy, no-holds-barred track that throws you right into the artist's world. He's talking about how he and his crew operate on a different level than others, saying, "On ne joue pas dans la même cour qu'eux, on parle en boîtes et en gros chiffres" [We don't play in the same league as them, we talk in boxes and big numbers]. It's all about ambition and making money, even if it means making sacrifices, as he mentions, "Pour atteindre le sommet, on m'a dit 'bandito, faut faire des sacrifices'" [To reach the top, I was told 'bandito, you have to make sacrifices'].

There's a strong sense of loyalty to his team, with lines like "Toujours avec le même binôme, bonhomme reconnait bonhomme" [Always with the same partner, man recognizes man]. He also warns against fake friends, stating, "Si tu n'es pas là depuis le début, ne me dis pas que t'es mon frère" [If you haven't been there from the start, don't tell me you're my brother]. The song has a pretty blunt, almost threatening tone at times, especially with the repeated "Tu vas t'faire canner dans pas longtemps" [You're going to get killed soon] and the "Désolé, désolé, désolé / R.I.P désolé" [Sorry, sorry, sorry / R.I.P sorry] refrain. It's a raw look at street life and the hustle, where GLK makes it clear he's not to be messed with.
