Bah Ouais Lyrics in English by KeBlack, Sofiane
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bah Ouais by KeBlack from French to English.
Il fume, ici pour oublier
He smokes, here to forget
Il fait partie des oubliés, à l'entendre, toujours outillé
He's one of the forgotten ones, to hear him, always equipped
H24, 3 rue des Courtillers
24/7, 3 Courtillers Street
Genre, il ramène des kilos
Like, he brings back kilos
Pour ça il fait des kilomètres
For that he travels miles
On sait tous ici qu'à la maison c'est toi qui lève ses culottes mec
We all know here that at home it's you who pulls up his pants, man
On sait qu'il mitonne
We know he's lying
Mais on fait 'genre, t'as vu?'
But we act "like, you know?"
Dans les embrouilles, lui on l'a jamais vu
In fights, we've never seen him
À l'entendre
To hear him
Lui c'est un dingue-dingue, pour rien il fait bang-bang
He's a madman, for nothing he goes bang-bang
Mais wAllah et tu fais walou
But I swear to God and you do nothing
On t'attrape à la sortie d'ton procès, balance
We'll catch you after your trial, snitch
C'est comme ça qu'on procède nous
That's how we operate
On t'attrape à la sortie d'ton procès, balance
We'll catch you after your trial, snitch
C'est comme ça qu'on procède nous
That's how we operate
Oh, oh, en attendant ton décès, nous
Oh, oh, while waiting for your death, us
En attendant ton décès nous (bah ouais)
While waiting for your death, us (well yeah)
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
(Bah ouais) il dit qu'il est suspect comme toutes les motos d'nos villes
(Well yeah) he says he's suspicious like all the motorbikes in our cities
Qu'il braque à visage découvert sans photo d'profil
That he robs with an uncovered face without a profile picture
Qu'il a pas mal quand il met des low-kicks dans l'poteau
That he doesn't hurt when he puts low-kicks into the post
Qu'il est riche sans lotto, chargé dans l'automobile
That he's rich without the lottery, loaded in the car
Il dit qu'ça l'saoule Miami
He says Miami bores him
Qu'il est blindé tout seul, sans équipe, ni amis
That he's loaded all alone, without a crew, nor friends
Que quand il est fâché il crache des balles agitées
That when he's angry he spits agitated bullets
Qu'il reste à la cité parce qu'il nous kiffe la famille
That he stays in the hood because he likes us, the family
La paire est trouée, jamais écrouée
His shoes are worn out, never jailed
Le poids du mensonge qui t'as tendu la colonne, étonné
The weight of the lie that straightened your spine, surprised
Le salaire est joué, la gov est louée
The pay is gambled away, the car is rented
Le regard 'Dubaï dans tes poches' c'est la Pologne, on connaît
The "Dubai in your pockets" look is Poland, we know
Il a plein d'boîtes, il a trop d'valises
He has lots of boxes, he has too many suitcases
Ma gueule, il t'arrange, il paraît qu'il a trop d'plots
My man, he sorts you out, it seems he has too many plots
Il a trop d'squat, il contrôle Paris
He has too many squats, he controls Paris
Sur les coteaux CRB, Octris et Oclo
On the hillsides CRB, Octris and Oclo
Il dit qu'c'est lui qui liquide le kilo au client
He says he's the one who sells the kilo to the client
Il dit qu'c'est lui qui liquide le kilo au client
He says he's the one who sells the kilo to the client
Bah ouais
Well yeah
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
Bah ouais, bah ouais, bah ouais
Well yeah, well yeah, well yeah
(Bah ouais) paraît qu'tu voles, paraît qu'tu deales
(Well yeah) it seems you steal, it seems you deal
Paraît qu'tu taules, paraît qu'tu kill
It seems you get jailed, it seems you kill
Paraît qu'tu voles, paraît qu'tu deales
It seems you steal, it seems you deal
Paraît qu'tu taules, paraît qu'tu kill
It seems you get jailed, it seems you kill

Did you like this lyrics translation?
mitonne — is lying / is cooking up a story
Mitonne comes from the verb "mitonner," which literally means "to simmer" or "to cook slowly." However, in French slang, it's commonly used to mean "to lie," "to make up a story," or "to exaggerate."
In the context of the song, the lyrics "On sait qu'il mitonne" (We know he's lying/making things up) refer to someone who is boasting or fabricating stories about their exploits, likely in the criminal underworld. It's an interesting word because it uses a culinary term to describe deception, adding a layer of colloquial charm to the street narrative.
