Les Limites Lyrics in English Julien Doré

Home / Lyrics Translation / Julien Doré / Les Limites

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Limites by Julien Doré from French to English.

I easily go past

Every limit

When I start

I consume enormously

The aim is to feel things

So I push past and I like to make

Tons of it, it irritates

The good folks full of reason

Who stick to the limits

And I'm not dreaming, I know when I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay for that later

Yeah I'm gonna pay for that

I went over the limits easily

Effortlessly

Yeah I cross the limits

With no ethical problem

And I'm not dreaming, I know when I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay for that later

I'm gonna pay for all that

I'm gonna end up in hard labor

I'll break rocks in Guyana

And I'm not dreaming, I know when I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay afterward

I went over the limits

Easily, big time

When I start, I finish

The job cleanly

I obviously consume

As much liquid as possible

And sometimes even some solid

Good and plump, nicely coating

And I'm not dreaming, I know when I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay afterward

And I'm not dreaming, I know

When I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay for that later

And I'm not dreaming, I know

When I'll stop

I'm gonna leave Paris

I know I'll pay for that later

Oh I'm gonna pay for all that

So I'm gonna

Money this way

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what happens when you keep pressing the accelerator until the very end? In "Les Limites", French indie-pop icon Julien Doré straps us into a tongue-in-cheek joy-ride of excess. With playful vocals and jazzy whistles, he admits he loves to go too far: drinking "as much liquid as possible", devouring "solid" treats, and breaking every social rule in sight. He smirks at the brave people full of reason who stay inside the lines, while he splashes vivid colors outside them.

Yet beneath the swagger lies sharp self-awareness. Doré repeats that he knows exactly when he will stop and that he will "pay for all of this." He imagines fleeing Paris, ending up cracking rocks in far-off French Guiana, and ultimately coughing up cash for his wild nights. The song is a witty reflection on our craving for overindulgence, the thrill of ignoring limits, and the haunting certainty that the bill always arrives in the end.
