Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, head upside down, screaming 'fuck you'

It's best seen from above

Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, kiss the sun

Even if it means smiling without lips

It's best seen from above

I wanted to smoke a cigarette on the Moon

It was the perfect time, this storm on a summer evening

But every time I take the path to the stars

There's always someone here holding my feet

I wanted to smoke a cigarette on the moon

They told me, 'you're not short of air'

I had to settle for the floor lamp

Everyone who saw me standing there told me, 'come down'

Giving me that kind of look that cuts your head off

Most of the time I assume but

Very often I can't stand being there anymore

Yet when I was a child, I was always in the moon

Maybe the difference is that at that time I didn't smoke

When I take the path to the stars

On Earth there is always someone to help

Someone to love, someone to war with

Someone who always ends up knowing how to possess us

Yes but today I'm leaving, nothing can stop it

Tonight, either I join him or I'm the one who brings down the sky

Besides, it's already late, I have to start going upstairs

In exchange, an angel may come down from my ladder

I'm going to smoke a cigarette on the moon and no one's going to stop me

None of you will ever hold me by my feet again

Yes this evening, I plan to return to the stars

And I'm not just going to pet them

I've been taking responsibility for thirty years, I've been contemplating it from Earth

When I smoke, in the meantime I never come home

Yet when I was a child, I was always in the moon

The difference is surely that at that time, I didn't smoke

Just a cigarette on the moon, old man

Just one, I'll climb up there as soon as you're sleepy

And if there, I no longer have a fire, I will light my cigarette with the sun

Yes, I just want a cigarette on the moon, old man

Just one, I'll climb up there as soon as you're sleepy

And if there, I no longer have a fire

Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, head upside down, screaming 'fuck you'

It's best seen from above

Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, kiss the sun

Even if it means smiling without lips

It's best seen from above

I wanted to smoke a cigarette on the Moon

Contemplating the beauty of the earth while bathing in a crater

Tingling on the forehead and cheeks

I write warmly for idiots and for madmen

The truth, I'm just a badger

When a woman sincerely loves me, I lose myself

Afterwards I whine because she's not there for me

In my head, there are many of us like the Saïan Supa

I'm a Jesuit with a crowbar

All night long, my mind plays Tetris

I think, we hurt each other or we neglect each other

And heaven knows how sad it is

We were young, we didn't fear pickpockets

We had nothing in our pockets except a packet of salt chips

And I smoke my last John Player Special

I hope we sell cigarettes on the Moon

When I'm bored, I create disaster scenarios

And I see tears of blood on my Lacoste shoes

And that's how I pass the time

My people hope with all my heart that I keep to myself

I will always be on the front line, we are cannon fodder

We want gold records, we want platinum records

Renoi I can make pig rhymes I can make rhymes that are a bit easy

I have images like Francis Ford Coppola

And I put on a show like Omar Sy in Chocolat

Photos with fans, now we sign autographs

Rap saved our lives, it deserves to be at the Beaux-Arts

Just a cigarette on the moon, old man

Just one, I'll climb up there as soon as you're sleepy

And if there, I no longer have a fire, I will light my cigarette with the sun

Yes, I just want a cigarette on the moon, old man

Just one, I'll climb up there as soon as you're sleepy

And if I no longer have a fire there, I will light it with the sun

Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Moon

Sea, Abyss, Black hole, Future, Elsewhere, Beach, Moon

Paradise, Sky, Grand Large, Azure, Infinity, Beyond, Moon

Moon, Moon, Moon

Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, head upside down, screaming 'fuck you'

It's best seen from above

Since I was little, I've dreamed of it

To run in the air, kiss the sun

Even if it means smiling without lips

It's best seen from above

blaireau — badger / idiot

Blaireau literally means "badger" in French. However, in colloquial French, it's also a common slang term for an "idiot" or a "fool."

In this song, Scylla uses it in the self-deprecating sense, saying, "La vérité, j'suis qu'un blaireau" (The truth is, I'm just an idiot). This dual meaning makes it an interesting and memorable word, revealing a touch of vulnerability and self-awareness amidst the song's grander themes.

Have you ever just wanted to escape everything and everyone? Scylla, ISHA, and Sofiane Pamart totally get it in "Clope Sur La Lune" [Cigarette on the Moon]. This song is all about that deep desire to get away from the everyday grind and the people who hold you back.

From childhood, the artists have dreamed of flying high, looking down on everything, and shouting "j't'emmerde" [I don't give a damn about you]. They just want to smoke a cigarette on the moon, a perfect escape from the storms of life. But every time they try to reach for the stars, someone on Earth pulls them back down. They're tired of being told to "descends" [come down] and dealing with judging looks. Even though they were always "dans la lune" [in the moon/daydreaming] as kids, now there's always someone to help, love, fight, or who tries to control them. But not anymore! Tonight, they're breaking free, even if it means bringing down the sky. They're going to the moon, and no one is going to stop them from finally just enjoying a smoke up there, even if they have to light it with the sun!
