Yusuf Lyrics in English by Lomepal

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yusuf by Lomepal from French to English.
Ce monde a rendu mes larmes acides comme le yuzu
This world has made my tears acidic like yuzu
Bientôt je chante 'it's a wild world' mieux que Yusuf
Soon I'll sing "it's a wild world" better than Yusuf
J'ai dit bye bye aux épreuves, j'ai pas dit 'see you soon'
I said bye bye to trials, I didn't say "see you soon"
Alors pourquoi ça resonne? Y a mon visage sur le sol
So why does it echo? My face is on the floor
Ça va un peu mieux maintenant qu'je sais qu'y a rien qui marche
It's a bit better now that I know nothing works
J'ai beau gagner, y a toujours un nouveau match
No matter how much I win, there's always a new match
J'voulais juste un break pour poser ma hache
I just wanted a break to lay down my axe
Mais c'est l'été et j'ai trouvé des nouvelles mélo' pour me répéter
But it's summer and I found new melodies to repeat myself
Oh, vous pourrez m'enterrer d'main
Oh, you can bury me tomorrow
Le succès comme un raz-d'marée
Success like a tidal wave
Le rap m'a usé comme une drogue
Rap wore me out like a drug
Putain, dis-moi pourquoi j'en red'mande
F*ck, tell me why I ask for more
Rien de neuf, que le mal
Nothing new, just evil
Que le mal
Just evil
En vrai, c'est l'inverse que j'aurais pas trouvé normal
Actually, it's the opposite that I wouldn't have found normal
Rien de neuf dans le corps, que le mal
Nothing new in the body, just evil
Tu voudrais qu'j'écrive sur quoi?
What would you want me to write about?
Rien de neuf, la douleur a pas changé de poids
Nothing new, the pain hasn't changed weight
J'ai que ça dans l'réservoir
That's all I have in the tank
Tu voudrais qu'j'écrive sur quoi?
What would you want me to write about?
Je chante le mal, pourquoi j'me sens fier sous les néons?
I sing about evil, why do I feel proud under the neon lights?
Concert en pyjama, R.I.P l'époque où j'avais honte
Concert in pajamas, R.I.P. the time when I was ashamed
2019, j'ai les même lunettes que Léon
2019, I have the same glasses as Léon
Putain, les on-dit m'indiffèrent, j'vais pas faire le caméléon
F*ck, gossip doesn't bother me, I won't play the chameleon
Il faut qu'je souffre pour faire le single qu'on attend d'moi
I have to suffer to make the single they expect from me
Comment tu fais pour écrire si t'es jamais dans l'mal?
How do you write if you're never in pain?
Quelle aubaine, le chant c'est de l'argent
What a godsend, singing is money
Toutes mes dettes sont dans la benne
All my debts are in the dumpster
Ça a mal lavé ma peine, j'l'étends à l'étage
It poorly washed away my sorrow, I'm hanging it upstairs
Un million d'euros, ça sent bon, ça enlève pas les taches
A million euros, it smells good, it doesn't remove the stains
Hmm, tellement chanceux
Hmm, so lucky
J'regarde les gens chanter en chœur mes chansons
I watch people sing my songs in chorus
Sauf que j'les avais écrites pour les gens seuls
Except I had written them for lonely people
Rien de neuf, que le mal
Nothing new, just evil
Que le mal
Just evil
En vrai, c'est l'inverse que j'aurais pas trouvé normal
Actually, it's the opposite that I wouldn't have found normal
Rien de neuf dans le corps, que le mal
Nothing new in the body, just evil
Tu voudrais qu'j'écrive sur quoi?
What would you want me to write about?
Rien de neuf, la douleur a pas changé de poids
Nothing new, the pain hasn't changed weight
J'ai que ça dans l'réservoir
That's all I have in the tank
Tu voudrais qu'j'écrive sur quoi?
What would you want me to write about?
Rien de neuf
Nothing new
Dans le corps
In the body
Que le mal
Just evil
Tu voudrais qu'j'écrive sur quoi?
What would you want me to write about?

raz-d'maréetidal wave

Raz-d'marée literally translates to "tidal wave" or "tsunami". It's a striking and somewhat dramatic word that isn't commonly found in everyday French conversation or many song lyrics.

In the song, Lomepal uses it metaphorically to describe the overwhelming and powerful nature of success, singing, "Le succès comme un raz-d'marée" (Success like a tidal wave). This vivid imagery conveys how quickly and forcefully fame can engulf someone, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.
