Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avant Qu'Elle Ne Parte by Sexion D'Assaut from French to English.

Senseless, insensitive

You love her yet you run away from her

Senseless, insensitive

You love her yet you run away from her

Forgive me for your sleepless nights

That keep repeating

Forgive me for the waiting lines

The clashes during inspections

Forgive me for the times in custody

The police searches

Forgive me for leaving so early

For becoming a musician

Every time

When I forgot to answer your messages

Every time

When I was supposed to drop by between two or three shows

Every time

When I had to lie to you to keep you from hitting me

All those times

I never doubted your good faith

Your mother's a rare flower

That you water with your love

Taking it away kills her

So don't shorten her countdown

Tell her you love her, that you regret

Your way of always picking fights

She struggles to get away

Because your big brothers did hard time

Are my wrinkles stopping me from smiling at her

I don't wanna stay alive

Till I watch her die

Your tears stung my wounds

I'd like to please you

I forever curse the day we bury you

And even when everybody's against you

She's still your best friend

You'd like to tell her what she means to you

Before she loses her life

But you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And even when everybody's against you

She's still your best friend

You'd like to tell her what she means to you

Before she loses her life

But you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

I'm sure she'd just love to hear

A "Mom I love you"

Instead of the dad's screams

Threatening to throw you out

I'm sure she cracks after

A week spent without you

And your absence would hurt her

Worse than a fall from the roof of her house

I'm sure she'd love

You to hold her in your arms

Exactly like she did

During your first twelve months

I'm sure love made you short-sighted

Instead of giving it to your mother

You give it to some fool

Hours on the phone with your girl

Trying to get closer

When your mom calls

You wanna hang up quick

In front of your boys you stand up to her

You try to lecture her

But you forget she held that head

When she gave you the breast

Believe me

You can replace lungs

But surely not a mom

You lived inside her

You lived under her roof

She's the only person who prays

To leave this world before you

At the station for her

You were never guilty

But for me you are 'cause

You're tanned while she's so pale

Except for her nobody puts up with

Your nonstop selfishness

You're not the center of the world

But you are of your mama's

And even when everybody's against you

She's still your best friend

You'd like to tell her what she means to you

Before she loses her life

But you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And even when everybody's against you

She's still your best friend

You'd like to tell her what she means to you

Before she loses her life

But you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

And you don't dare, you don't dare

You don't dare say it to her

I never left

I never changed

Except for my voice and my height

Mom it's me

I want you to approve my fiancée

Comfort me like when I fell

Mom where'd you go

Look at me

Just hold you in my arms

Hold you tight and say

I love you one last time, rest in peace

For us you gave body and soul

If I'm out of ink too bad

I'll go on with my tears

Today Mom's gone

I fell from high but

I couldn't fall lower

Bro don't act like a foster kid

If you've got one make her happy

Tell her you love her before she goes

To everyone who still has a mom

Even death can't stop love

Tell them that you love them

Before they go

SONG MEANING

Avant Qu'Elle Ne Parte is a heartfelt French rap anthem where the members of Sexion d’Assaut hit pause on street swagger and open their diaries to one very special reader: Mom. They confess skipped calls, missed visits, and the lure of nightlife that kept them far from home. Between catchy hooks and mellow beats, each verse stacks up real-life images—police stations, endless queues, sleepless nights—against the unshakeable patience of a mother who never stops believing in her child.

The song’s core message is crystal clear: love cannot be taken for granted. The chorus urges us to speak up, to say “I love you” before time snatches the chance away. By the final lines, regret and gratitude blend into a powerful reminder that a mother’s love is both our first shelter and the easiest gift to overlook. Listen, feel the urgency, then go hug your mom—or call her—before she’s gone.
