Tempête Lyrics in English Nekfeu

Tempête is Nekfeu’s personal weather report on life in modern-day Paris. From a messy apartment to chilly night bus rides, he sketches a city where temptation and danger circle like dark clouds. Even after “making it,” the rapper still hears mothers crying for lost sons, sees friends sweating in courtrooms, and meets strangers whose dreams have been frozen by poverty, drugs, and quick money. The hook — a repeated “Avis d’tempête” (storm warning) — turns the track into a siren: stay alert, the skies can change in seconds.

Behind the gritty images, Nekfeu wrestles with two forces: the thrill of easy cash vs. the search for inner peace. He admits the pull of designer brands and fast schemes, yet his conscience keeps asking, “Qui es-tu ?” (Who are you?). Courage and fear become twin weapons as he climbs metaphorical trees to gain perspective, knowing one day he may have to saw off the very branch he’s standing on. In the end, “Tempête” is both a snapshot of urban chaos and a challenge to listeners: recognize the storm around you, choose your path, and try to end up on “the good side of the tinted glass.”
