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

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

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

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 ♥️.
