Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
J'ai rien d'mandé à personne
I asked nobody for anything
Juste éteindre mon téléphone et j'ai tracé
Just turn off my phone and I took off
Maintenant, ça fait 'tut, tut, tut, tut, tut'
Now, it goes 'beep, beep, beep, beep, beep'
Quand vous m'appelez
When you call me
Plus j'imaginais l'avenir
The more I imagined the future
Et plus j'avais l'impression d'voir le passé
And the more I felt like I was seeing the past
Quand on peut que subir
When you can only endure
Des fois, faut juste s'en aller
Sometimes, you just have to leave
Adieu les vieux potes toxiques, j'me casse
Goodbye old toxic friends, I'm out
Adieu mon pays, merci, goodbye
Goodbye my country, thank you, goodbye
J'ai un enfant à élever
I have a child to raise
J'peux plus faire du surplace
I can't tread water anymore
J'ai plus d'temps à perdre dans vos problèmes de base
I don't have time to waste on your basic problems
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Et j'les entends déjà dire
And I already hear them saying
Que j'suis parti sans prévenir, j'les ai lâchés
That I left without warning, I abandoned them
Dès qu'ils trouveront quelqu'un d'autre
As soon as they find someone else
Un sur qui rejeter la faute, ça va passer
Someone to blame, it'll pass
En vrai, j'les ai attendu toute ma vie
Honestly, I waited for them my whole life
Mais jamais rien n'a changé
But nothing ever changed
Plus j'voyais c'qu'ils devenaient
The more I saw what they were becoming
Moins j'voulais leur ressembler
The less I wanted to be like them
Adieu les drames, les gossips, j'me casse
Goodbye the dramas, the gossips, I'm out
Adieu les news dépressives, goodbye
Goodbye the depressing news, goodbye
J'ai une famille à aimer
I have a family to love
Faut qu'j'libère de l'espace
I need to free up some space
Mon cœur est limité, j'dois faire de la place
My heart is limited, I need to make room
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Et j'serai plus jamais seul
And I'll never be alone again
Et j'aurai plus jamais peur
And I'll never be afraid again
En fait, j'vais juste devenir c'que j'suis
Actually, I'm just going to become what I am
J'ai toujours été ailleurs
I've always been elsewhere
Et j'serai plus jamais seul
And I'll never be alone again
Et j'aurai plus jamais peur
And I'll never be afraid again
En fait, j'vais juste devenir c'que j'suis
Actually, I'm just going to become what I am
J'ai toujours été ailleurs
I've always been elsewhere
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous
I'm far, far, far, far, far from you
Oublie-moi
Forget me
Si vous m'cherchez, j'suis ailleurs
If you're looking for me, I'm elsewhere
J'suis loin, loin, loin, loin, loin de vous

surplace — on the spot / in place
Surplace literally means "on the spot" or "in place." While it might seem simple, its use in this song is quite profound and metaphorical.
Orelsan sings, "J'peux plus faire du surplace" (I can no longer do 'surplace'). This phrase means he can no longer stand still, stagnate, or make no progress in his life. It's a powerful declaration of his desire for change and advancement, making it a memorable and relatable concept for anyone feeling stuck.
