SAMU Lyrics in English by Maes
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song SAMU by Maes from French to English.
Dammit, Jak
Dammit, Jak
On leur passera jamais la paix, le salut
We'll never give them peace, salvation
Pour les éteindre, on s'allume
To put them out, we light up
On n'est bons qu'à donner du taf au SAMU
We're only good at giving work to the SAMU
Nouveau jouet, on s'amuse
New toy, we have fun
Faut placer, éviter les pertes
Gotta place it, avoid losses
Plus de pourcentages dans les parts
More percentages in the shares
270, on les baise
270, we f*ck them
On appuie, ils font que ler-par
We press, they just talk
On leur passera jamais la paix, le salut
We'll never give them peace, salvation
Pour les éteindre, on s'allume
To put them out, we light up
On n'est bons qu'à donner du taf au SAMU
We're only good at giving work to the SAMU
Nouveau jouet, on s'amuse
New toy, we have fun
Faut placer, éviter les pertes
Gotta place it, avoid losses
Plus de pourcentages dans les parts

270, on les baise
270, we f*ck them
On appuie, ils font que ler-par
We press, they just talk
J'vais jamais attendre que les étoiles s'alignent
I'm never gonna wait for the stars to align
Fuck la brigade canine
F*ck the K-9 unit
J'remplis chaussettes avec piles alcalines
I fill socks with alkaline batteries
Cellulisé sous Cali'
Imprisoned under Cali
J'récupère ma liberté sous calibre
I get my freedom back with a gun
Petit ou grand, on crari
Small or big, we pretend
Quatre-vingt ze-trei S de Paris
Ninety-three S from Paris
BMT, on varie
BMT, we switch it up
Mets pas ton nez dans mes affaires
Don't put your nose in my business
La plupart ont fait une O.D
Most of them overdosed
On sait très bien c'qu'il y a à faire
We know very well what needs to be done
Même dans une mer de problèmes inondés
Even in a sea of overwhelming problems
Jamais on a pris la fuite
We never ran away
On a mis en sécu' la famille
We secured the family
J'avais déjà pensé à la suite
I had already thought about what's next
J'ai brûlé mes sapes au cas où ça m'examine
I burned my clothes in case they examine me
Aujourd'hui, c'est plus la même
Today, it's not the same
J'gère le réseau d'la mezzanine
I manage the network from the mezzanine
40 degrés où j'vis
40 degrees where I live
Mais c'est la pluie qu'tu vois quand ça illumine
But it's the rain you see when it lights up
J'bosse avec toutes les mélanines
I work with all the melanins
Faut du papier comme Ben Ali
Need paper like Ben Ali
J'rêve de repentir
I dream of repentance
Relâcher la musique comme a fait Mélanie
Release the music like Mélanie did
On leur passera jamais la paix, le salut
We'll never give them peace, salvation
Pour les éteindre, on s'allume
To put them out, we light up
On n'est bons qu'à donner du taf au SAMU
We're only good at giving work to the SAMU
Nouveau jouet, on s'amuse
New toy, we have fun
Faut placer, éviter les pertes
Gotta place it, avoid losses

270, on les baise

On appuie, ils font que ler-par
We press, they just talk
On leur passera jamais la paix, le salut

Pour les éteindre, on s'allume
To put them out, we light up
On n'est bons qu'à donner du taf au SAMU

SAMU — Emergency Medical Service (EMS)
SAMU is the acronym for "Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente," which is France's emergency medical service, similar to 911 or an ambulance service in English-speaking countries.
In the song, Maes uses it in a gritty context, stating, "On n'est bons qu'à donner du taf au SAMU" (We're only good at giving work to the SAMU). This implies a life of danger and violence, where their actions frequently lead to injuries requiring emergency medical attention. It's an interesting cultural reference that provides insight into the song's themes and setting.
