Le Sucre Pimenté Lyrics in English by Oxmo Puccino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Sucre Pimenté by Oxmo Puccino from French to English.
Mon sucre s'oublie pas car il est pimenté
My sugar won't be forgotten because it's spiced
La plume ne s'usera pas car elle est cimentée
The pen won't wear out because it's cemented
Les anciens déroulent le tapis rouge
The old-timers unroll the red carpet
Il y a des traces de ma voix sur des papyrus
There are traces of my voice on papyri
Ils écrivent du Soda, moi des Whisky
They write soda, I write whiskey
Ils sont les biscottes, moi le biscuit
They are rusks, I'm the cookie
Les médisants envoyés chez l'vétérinaire
The slanderers sent to the vet
Je ne suis pas un de ces artistes intérimaires
I'm not one of those temporary artists
Je vais le faire
I'm going to do it
Me sous-titré de traduction, une qualité de la pire tradition
Me, subtitled for translation, a quality of the worst tradition
J'inspire l'OXM et crache du gaz laconique épicé d'un flow ultraphonique
I inhale OXM and spit out laconic gas spiced with an ultraphonic flow
Le but, nous alimenter, -limenter
The goal, to feed us, -feed us
Il ne sait que prendre le ventre et puis monter
It only knows how to hit the gut and then rise
Pas d'recette secrète (Nan), mon sucre il est pimenté, pimenté
No secret recipe (Nah), my sugar is spiced, spiced
Ton sucre il est bon, le mien il picote
Your sugar is good, mine stings
Tu crois écrire, enfoiré, or, tu tricote
You think you're writing, a*shole, but you're knitting
Balance la sauce, on n'est pas tes potes
Drop the sauce, we're not your buddies
Ça manque d'or, de métaphores, de litotes
It lacks gold, metaphors, litotes
Quand j'entre en studio, je n'ai pas d'amis
When I enter the studio, I have no friends
Si j't'y emmène dormir, c'est sur un tatami
If I take you there to sleep, it's on a tatami
Ils sont fous, cette bande de Stylo Man
They're crazy, this gang of Pen Men
Dans la douceur, j'deviens le Sirot Man
In gentleness, I become the Syrup Man
Leurs jours passent en sablier, chaque seconde, j'retourne le sucrier
Their days pass like an hourglass, every second, I turn over the sugar bowl
En effaçant les chansons, chewing-gum
By erasing the chewing-gum songs
J'veux juste rendre le triple à celui qui m'donne
I just want to give back triple to whoever gives me
Tu ose me comparer, depuis quand ?
You dare compare me, since when?
Tes idoles n'ont pas de lyrics aussi piquants ?
Your idols don't have lyrics as stinging?
Trop puissante ma cuisine musique
My music kitchen is too powerful
J'ai fait c'morceau et fermé l'usine
I made this track and closed the factory
Un couplet facile, c'est que d'la rime en T
An easy verse, it's just T-rhymes
Un truc giganté, T
A gigantic thing, T
Le rap francophone, je vais m'le piloter
Francophone rap, I'm going to pilot it
T'es pas fan de mes fans, t'as trop pipauté
You're not a fan of my fans, you've bluffed too much
Les mauvaises langues, ligotées, ligotées
The bad tongues, tied up, tied up
Une chanson à complimenter, pimenté
A song to compliment, spiced
Laisse-nous siffloter, siffloter
Let us whistle, whistle
Notre sucre pimenté pimenté
Our spiced sugar, spiced

Did you like this lyrics translation?
pimenté — spicy / seasoned with chili
Pimenté literally means "spicy" or "seasoned with chili". It's an interesting word because it immediately evokes a strong, distinctive flavor.
In the context of Oxmo Puccino's song, "Le sucre pimenté" (The spicy sugar), the word is used metaphorically to describe his unique and impactful style of music and lyrics. He suggests his "sugar" (his art, his words) isn't just sweet; it has a kick, a memorable edge that sets it apart from others. It's a clever way to convey originality and intensity.
