We met

On the platform

Of the subway station

Called Guy Môquet

Can I talk to you

The girl said okay

What do you do for a living

No offense meant

I'm the captain

Of a hockey team

And when night comes

I become a disc jockey

Do you know DJ Bill

She says, "Bilboquet"

Then she started laughing

I thought she was making fun

Just like Orel and Gringe

I tend to freeze up

Pain in my stomach

With a bout of hiccups

Come on, I can say it

I was taken aback

But the change in tone

Hadn't shocked me

Harassed in the street

She plays it locked

She turns into a door

With a latch

An anarchist cat

Printed on a T-shirt

She can make you suffocate

Bumper-bash you, dislocate you

She said tonight

I'm playing in a dive bar

Near the polo club

Beat-up and full of jockeys

I'll spin some punk

Or the band Okay

'Cause

I didn't come here to suffer

Okay

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

Is that tomorrow it'll be fine

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

That's for tomorrow

I met on the platform

On the platform

Of the aptly named station

Guy Môquet

They wanted to talk to me

I just said okay

In the middle of passers-by

Bumping into each other

His life in short

Quickly summed up

Like a sketch he would've

Thrown together fast

He seemed more fascinating

Than passionate

He made me laugh when he thought

I was mocking him

He jumbles all his words

Like a poke bowl

Emotion must be giving him

The hiccups

Come on, I can say it

He was well-dressed

And hearing him go "Hup"

Hadn't shocked me

Any talks, any talks

Is it okay?

Tells me he wants everything

Except to rip me off

Not like the fake

Of a knock-off handbag

He just wants to chat

He's got words to unload

I told him that tonight

I was playing in a dive bar

They repeat everything I say

Like a parrot

We'll dance to some punk

Or to the band Okay

I didn't come here to suffer

Okay

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

Is that tomorrow it'll be fine

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

Is that tomorrow it'll be fine

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

Is that tomorrow it'll be fine

I don't know

If it's alright

What I know

Is that tomorrow it'll be fine

SONG MEANING

Okay is a playful, story-like duet that begins with a chance meeting on the Paris Métro at the station Guy Môquet. MC Solaar and Marie-Flore trade verses that feel like two inner monologues running side by side: he’s nervously intrigued by this quick-witted stranger, she’s amused by his quirky questions and tongue-tied wordplay. Their conversation darts from hockey teams to DJ booths, from punk rock to pop culture jokes, piling up puns, English phrases, and French slang just as busy commuters bump into each other on the platform. Behind the humor, both characters confess the same doubt – “Je sais pas si ça va” (I don’t know if I’m okay) – yet they keep repeating the reassuring refrain that tomorrow will be better.

The song’s core message is light but uplifting: life can feel chaotic and awkward, yet a simple “Okay” can open the door to connection, laughter, and hope. By the end, the pair plan to meet again in a small bar to dance to punk or the band Okay, proving that even brief, unexpected encounters can spark optimism. It’s a catchy reminder that while today might be uncertain, positivity and human contact can make tomorrow brighter.
