Caroline Lyrics in English MC Solaar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caroline by MC Solaar from French to English.

I was cool, sitting on a bench

It was in the spring

They pick a daisy

They are two lovers

Overdose of sweetness

They play like children

I love you a little, a lot

Madly, passionately

But following a painful

Emotional disappointment

In a warm mood

I became brutal

Hating someone

Is not in our prerogatives

Chernobyl, cherno-stupid

Radioactive jealousy

Caroline was a friend, a beautiful girl

I think back to her, to us

To our vanilla cones

To her binge on strawberries

Raspberries, blueberries

To her futile delusions

To her tacky style

I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart

The ace of clubs that pricks your heart

Caroline

Like the four-leaf clover

I seek your happiness

I'm the man who comes at the right time

To take your heart

You have to be on your guard

Caro, this message comes from the heart

A pyramid of kisses

A storm of friendship

A wave of caresses

A cyclone of sweetness

An ocean of thoughts, Caroline

I offered you a skyscraper of tenderness

I was scared to death

I'm chased by the red army

For you, I took greenbacks

I had to move

Arsonist of your heart

Canadair of your fears

I offered you a symphony of colors

She left, masochist

With an old macho

She had met

In a metro station

When I see them hand in hand

Smoking the same cigarette butt

I feel a pinch in her heart

But she doesn't dare say a word

Because I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart

The ace of clubs that pricks your heart

Caroline

Claude MC takes the microphone

Like a love story raggamuffin

To talk to you about a friend

We call Caroline

She was my lady, she was my fix

She was my vitamin

She was my drug, my dope

My coke, my crack

My amphetamine, Caroline

I think back to her, modern woman

Twenty years old, young and pretty

Rewind the film

Life's VCR

For her, must it be admitted

Tears have flowed

Ocular hemorrhage, long live our friendship

From the past, the present

I hope, the future

I passed to be present

In your future

Life is a card game

Paris a casino

I play the red hearts

Caro

I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart

Caro

The ace of clubs that pricks your heart

Caroline

I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart

The ace of clubs that pricks your heart

Caroline

SONG MEANING

MC Solaar’s “Caroline” is a bittersweet love tale told with playful French word-play and vivid imagery. We meet the narrator relaxing on a spring day when the sight of two carefree lovers catapults him back to his own romance with Caroline. He recalls the sugary highs of their relationship—ice-cream cones, berry binges, an avalanche of kisses—only to confess how jealousy and heartbreak turned his feelings radioactive. Through clever card-game metaphors (he’s the ace of clubs that pricks her heart), he paints himself as both lucky charm and heart-breaker, a man who would scale emotional skyscrapers for love yet fears the blue-black bruises of rejection.

Under the cool jazz-rap groove lies a casino of emotions: hope, nostalgia, and self-mockery. Caroline was his “vitamin,” his “symphony of colors,” but she slipped away with an older macho she met in the metro, leaving him to gamble with memories in the city of Paris. Solaar’s quick rhymes hop from humor to hurt, turning his story into a poetic lesson on how love can feel like a deck of cards—one moment you’re holding four-leaf-clover luck, the next you’re stung by the very ace you played. Listeners come away smiling at the puns yet pondering the risks of staking everything on a single hand of ♥️.
