Moto Noire Lyrics in English by Jul

Postiché literally translates to "wig" or "hairpiece". It's an interesting and somewhat uncommon word to find in a rap song, making it stand out.

In the context of the lyrics, Jul mentions "Postiché, je mange une glace au Prado" (Wig, I'm eating an ice cream at the Prado). While the exact connection isn't explicitly stated, it could imply a disguise, a playful or ironic self-awareness, or simply a vivid, slightly surreal image that adds to the unique atmosphere of the song. Its unexpected appearance makes it memorable and intriguing.

Jul's "Moto Noire" drops us right into his world, a mix of chill vibes and underlying struggles. He's grabbing an ice cream at the Prado, rocking a wig ("Postiché, je mange une glace au Prado"), and cruising on his black motorcycle with a D&P backpack ("Moto noire, D&P sur le sac à dos"). He's not about the fancy stuff, just chilling in flip-flops, not Prada ("Je suis en claquette, je suis pas en Prada").

But beneath the relaxed exterior, there's a lot going on. He talks about a heart that's gone moldy ("J'ai le cœur qu'a moisi") and losing loved ones recently ("J'ai perdu des proches ce mois-ci"). He finds solace in simple things like FIFA and Netflix, acknowledging that no one chooses their destiny ("Son destin, personne le choisit"). He also reflects on helping others get started and the tensions that come with it. He's careful about what he says in his songs, keeping his circle free of strange people or Freemasons. The song ends with him needing to escape, getting a massage and forgetting everything, grateful for his success because otherwise, he and his friends would be nowhere with their "broken heads" ("on passerait nulle part avec nos têtes cassées").
