Frérot Lyrics in English by Slimane

Home / Lyrics translation / Slimane / Frérot

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Frérot by Slimane from French to English.

J'ai l'air bien tranquille

I look pretty calm

Sous mes allures de saltimbanque

Under my street performer appearance

Mais j'ai un frère ado indocile

But I have a rebellious teenage brother

Qui voudrait être braqueur de banque

Who wants to be a bank robber

Je perds mes amis

I'm losing my friends

Il paraît que je fais pas trop d'efforts

It seems like I'm not making much effort

Mais le frangin me cause du soucis

But my brother is causing me trouble

Je compte plus tous les bleus sur son corps

I can't even count all the bruises on his body anymore

Frérot

Brother

Je suis pas d'accord

I don't agree

Frérot

Brother

Faudra d'abord

You'll have to go through me first

Frérot

Brother

Me passer sur le corps

Step over my body

En la vie, frérot

In life, brother

J'y crois encore

I still believe

Je lui dirais bien oui

I would like to say yes to him

Mais pour l'amour le temps me manque

But I lack time for love

Si elle savait comme j'ai envie

If she knew how much I desire

Rien qu'une nuit

Just one night

De poser l'encre

To settle down

Me laisser bercer et renoncer à ma promesse

Let myself be rocked and give up on my promise

Papa, maman, si vous saviez

Dad, mom, if you only knew

Je vis dans l'ombre de ma jeunesse

I live in the shadow of my youth

Frérot

Brother

Je suis pas d'accord

I don't agree

Frérot

Brother

Faudra d'abord

You'll have to go through me first

Frérot

Brother

Me passer sur le corps

Step over my body

En la vie, frérot

In life, brother

J'y crois encore

I still believe

Mon frère, ma douleur

My brother, my pain

Mon fardeau, mes dix plaies

My burden, my ten plagues

Quitte à oublier mon propre coeur

Even if it means forgetting my own heart

Je me perdrais pour te sauver

I would lose myself to save you

Frérot

Brother

Je suis pas d'accord

I don't agree

Frérot

Brother

Faudra d'abord

You'll have to go through me first

Frérot

Brother

Me passer sur le corps

Step over my body

En la vie, frérot

In life, brother

J'y crois encore

I still believe

En la vie, frérot

In life, brother

J'y crois encore

I still believe
