Sur Mon Dos Lyrics in English by Kery James, Dr. Yaro, NMK, BANLIEUSARDS

Calibré literally means "calibrated" or "balanced." It's an interesting word choice in this context because it's not commonly used in everyday French conversation or song lyrics.

In the song, Kery James sings, "J'marche plus calibré," which translates to "I no longer walk calibrated" or "I no longer walk balanced." This suggests a past life of being off-kilter or involved in illicit activities, and now he's found a new path, a new balance in his life. It hints at a significant personal transformation.

This song, "Sur Mon Dos" [On My Back], is a really powerful and emotional track from Kery James, featuring Dr. Yaro, NMK, and BANLIEUSARDS. It feels like a deep reflection on past mistakes and a strong promise for the future.

Kery James talks about leaving a difficult past behind, saying, "J'marche plus calibré, j'trafique plus l'pilon" [I don't walk with a gun anymore, I don't deal weed anymore]. He's looking for a safe haven, a "cœur sous lequel m'abriter" [heart under which to shelter]. The lyrics reveal a history of hardship, with mentions of "Perquis', CR, fourgon, cellulaire, tout part en fumée" [Searches, police reports, vans, cell phones, everything goes up in smoke], suggesting a life entangled with the law. Despite a "Cœur est mort depuis tant d'années" [Heart has been dead for so many years], there's a clear commitment to someone, promising, "J'ai porté sur mon dos / Pour nous deux, j'pourrais tout donner" [I carried on my back / For us two, I could give everything]. It's a raw and honest look at transformation and unwavering support, even after past regrets like "Notre amour a cessé d'fleurir quand j't'ai planté" [Our love stopped blooming when I planted you].
