Caroline Lyrics in English MC Solaar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caroline by MC Solaar from French to English.
I was chill, sitting on a bench
It was in spring
They pick a daisy
They're two lovers
Overdose of sweetness
They play like kids
I love you a little, a lot
Madly, passionately
But after a painful
Romantic disappointment
In a warm mood
I became brutal
The hatred of someone
Isn't part of our prerogatives
Chernobyl, Cherno-dumb
Radioactive jealousy
Caroline was a friend, a gorgeous girl
I think back to her, to us
To our vanilla cones
To her strawberry binge
Of raspberries, of blueberries
To her silly delusions
To her tacky style
I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart
The ace of clubs that pricks your heart
The ace of clubs that pricks your heart
Caroline
Like a four-leaf clover
I look for your happiness
I'm the man who shows up right on time
To take your heart
You gotta keep your guard up
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 building of tenderness
I was scared stiff
I'm chased by the Red Army
For you I grabbed green bills
I had to move
Arsonist of your heart
Canadair for your fears
I offered you a symphony of colors
She left, masochist
With an old macho guy
Whom she'd met
In a subway station
When I see them hand in hand
Smoking the same butt
I feel a pang in my heart
But she doesn't dare say a word
’Cause I'm the ace of clubs that pricks your heart
The ace of clubs that pricks your heart
The ace of clubs that pricks your heart
Caroline
Claude MC grabs the microphone
Kinda love story raggamuffin
To tell you about a friend
Named 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, young and pretty
So rewind the film
Life's VCR
For her, I gotta admit it
Tears were shed
Ocular hemorrhage, long live our friendship
From the past, the present
Hopefully, the future
I came by so I could be present
In your future
Life is a card game
Paris is 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
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
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 ♥️.
