Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J'courais by Keen'V from French to English.

Too focused on getting loved by people who don't know me

Ego fixed on my career, I saw only that

Like a moth I let the light guide my steps

You were dying of boredom, I wasn't there for you

What changes for me is that tomorrow the sun will rise

While for you it won't rise

I was blinkered 'cause I was sprinting toward my dream

I regret not being there, there, there

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

But you're the one who fell

Selfishly I was living my dream at 200%

Till I forgot that you'd always been there for me

Sadly I learned you'd joined the Almighty

I'll come get you to

Say what I couldn't while you were alive

What changes for me is that tomorrow the sun will rise

While for you it won't rise

I was blinkered 'cause I was sprinting toward my dream

I regret not being there, there, there

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

But you're the one who fell

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen

You're the one who fell

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen

Forgive me if I let you down

Forgive me for my absences

If you only knew how guilty I feel

Forgive me, I've lost you

I didn't grasp how much it mattered

I'd have loved so much to say goodbye, because

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

But you're the one who fell

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

But I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

I put it off till tomorrow

I ran, I ran

But you're the one who fell

SONG MEANING

Imagine sprinting after your dreams so fast that you forget to look beside you... only to realize too late that someone you love has fallen behind. That is the painful heart of “J'courais” by French artist Keen'V. Over an energetic yet emotional beat, he confesses that his spotlight-chasing lifestyle kept him blind to the presence – and eventual absence – of a loved one who always supported him. The repeated line "J'courais, je remettais à demain" (“I kept running, putting things off until tomorrow”) hammers home the theme of procrastination and misplaced priorities.

The song is a bittersweet apology letter wrapped in catchy melodies. Keen'V contrasts his sunrise of new opportunities with the eternal night that now surrounds the person he lost, highlighting the irreversibility of time. Listeners are reminded that success means little if it costs the moments we could share with those who matter. “J'courais” is a wake-up call: slow down, cherish the people who cheer you on, and never assume tomorrow is guaranteed.
