Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Run Run by Indila from French to English.

Add some oil

Don't neglect your life, it's not heads or tails

You play, you laugh

You feel strong

Slow down

Take time to love the simple things in life

No utopia

I know time's super fast and

We all wanna get out of it

The current breaks us in a moment

Don't let yourself wither

Waste your days, your years

Running

Stop and breathe

Why you

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

'Cause you run, run, run, never stop

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

Backlash

Gotta give it all for cash

It makes you crazy

What a spike of stress

It's too much

You keep at it but you're gonna lose your skin

Now you gotta

Stop

But come this Monday, Tuesday

Subway, work, sleep

That's your whole life

It's that same weight on your back

I say one

You yell: 'Hello, hello Mama Boo-boo'

Saturday's done

Rewind the video

Still you

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

'Cause you run, run, run, never stop

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

I close my eyes and picture myself

On a cloud or on an island

There'd be what I want and I'd be chill

I'd do things slowly

Life would taste sweet

A song or two, a ukulele

No stress, I'd let myself drift

With the wind

Why you

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

'Cause you run, run, run, never stop

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

Why you

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

'Cause you run, run, run never stop

Too driven, you aim for the jackpot

Ready to give up everything for your job

And you'll end up

SONG MEANING

Run Run by the French singer Indila is a vibrant wake-up call to anyone stuck in the never-ending race for success. The lyrics paint a picture of someone sprinting after the jackpot—working nonstop, chasing promotions, and measuring life in paychecks. Indila warns that this pace can “break you in a moment,” draining your days, years, and even your health. The catchy chorus—“you run, run, run, never stop”—isn’t just a hook; it’s a flashing red light telling us to slow down, breathe, and stop sacrificing everything for a job.

In the second half of the song, Indila closes her eyes and imagines a sweeter reality: a cloud, an island, a ukulele, and zero stress. By contrasting this dream with the grind of métro, boulot, dodo (commute, work, sleep), she reminds us that life’s simple joys are waiting once we step off the hamster wheel. At its heart, Run Run encourages balance—work hard, yes, but leave space to love, laugh, and truly live.
