Je Reviendrai Pas Lyrics in English by Oxmo Puccino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Reviendrai Pas by Oxmo Puccino from French to English.
Yo, quoi de neuf
Yo, what's up
Depuis peu de gens savent
For a while now, few people know
T'hésites entre la police et les grandes poucaves
You hesitate between the police and the big snitches
J'ai grandi sous l'héroïne près du canal de l'Ourcq
I grew up around heroin near the Ourcq canal
Où les louveteaux avalent encore de l'ours
Where the wolf cubs still swallow the bear
Oublie d'où tu viens on te l'rappellera
Forget where you come from, we'll remind you
T'as la caisse de luxe mais tu restes un rat
You have the luxury car but you're still a rat
Ça parle de bar à chichas, de poudres
They talk about shisha bars, about powders
Et de qui pèse en ce moment, c'est la frappe d'la foudre
And who's heavy right now, it's the lightning strike
Je me sauve sans regret ni surprise
I'm leaving without regret or surprise
Fatigué d'apprendre qui a tiré sur qui
Tired of learning who shot whom
La rue ne fait pas rêver ceux qui y grandissent
The street doesn't make those who grow up there dream
Qu'l'argent vous bénisse
May money bless you
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Vu au Hilton ou à Aulnay, au Galion
Seen at the Hilton or in Aulnay, at the Galion
Un petit bataillon
A small battalion
Positif, nous gagnons
Positive, we win
J'ai la prose à faire bégayer
I have the prose to make people stutter
Comme c'est moi
As it's me
J'reste le meilleur des derniers
I remain the best of the last
J'ai eu le disque d'or quand j'en voulais plus
I got the gold record when I didn't want it anymore
Le rap c'est fini mais ils ont rien retenu
Rap is over but they haven't learned anything
Parait que tu fais de l'oseille, on verra
They say you're making money, we'll see
J'ai 2 fois l'âge de mon premier opéra
I'm twice the age of my first opera
Te retourne pas si t'as parlé trop tôt
Don't turn back if you spoke too soon
Je resterai assis sur mes propos
I'll stand by my words
Les règles n'ont jamais vraiment changé
The rules have never really changed
Bon app' tu vas manger
Enjoy your meal, you're going to eat
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Ne m'attends pas, c'est mieux d'attendre après personne (non)
Don't wait for me, it's better to wait for nobody (no)
Il n'y a que Dieu qui pardonne
Only God forgives
Je ne dirai pas pourquoi les hommes parlent
I won't say why men talk
Dans un dialogue il en faut 2 qui jactent
In a dialogue you need two who talk
Chaque pleurnicheur était prévenu
Every whiner was warned
Finir usé parce que t'es revenu
To end up worn out because you came back
Payer cher quand on peut pas tout acheter
To pay dearly when you can't buy everything
S'en aller ou rester par lâcheté
To leave or to stay out of cowardice
Laisse-moi tout cracher comme lors des derniers jours
Let me spit everything out like in the last days
Bâtir l'impossible retour pour un string ou des thunes
To build the impossible return for a thong or cash
Va leur dire je peux t'aimer, je pars sans ralentir
Go tell them I can love you, I'm leaving without slowing down
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
Je reviendrai pas, je reviendrai pas
I won't come back, I won't come back
Pour la bouffe, un string ou des thunes
For food, a thong or cash
Ni sur mes propos non plus
Nor on my words either
Je reviendrai pas donc ne m'attends pas
I won't come back so don't wait for me
