Dis-leur Lyrics in English by Sofiane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dis-leur by Sofiane from French to English.
Dis-leur que j'ai fait ca
Tell them that I did that
Dis-leur que j'voulais pas
Tell them that I didn't want to
Deux mains m'attendaient là, un fusil sous les bras
Two hands were waiting for me there, a rifle under my arms
Stendhal me connait pas, je sens mon doigt qui bouge
Stendhal doesn't know me, I feel my finger moving
Et puis j'ai vu du noir et puis j'ai vu du rouge
And then I saw black and then I saw red
J'avais des pensées sombres
I had dark thoughts
Noyée dans la Grey Goose
Drowned in Grey Goose
Des trucs a foutre le blues a un chanteur de blues
Things to give the blues to a blues singer
J'avais l'feu dans les yeux
I had fire in my eyes
C'est trop tard pour prier
It's too late to pray
Puis j'ai fait taire mon ange et j'ai tout oublier
Then I silenced my angel and I forgot everything
Elle m'a dit : 'mon amour, je souffre des tes choix'
She told me: "my love, I suffer from your choices"
J'ai peur des prochains jours, j'ai peur des prochains mois'
I'm afraid of the coming days, I'm afraid of the coming months"
Il a dit : 'mon enfant cette fois tu m'a déçu'
He said: "my child, this time you disappointed me"
J'ai dit : 'je t'aime papa, je ne te reverrai plus'
I said: "I love you, Dad, I won't see you again"
Mais je sais plus quoi faire pour bluffer les gamins
But I don't know what to do anymore to fool the kids
Faire un dernier sourire, faire un signe de la main
To give a last smile, to wave goodbye
Si j'avais su le prix pour qu'un voyou décolle
If I had known the price for a thug to succeed
J'aurais soigné la vie, j'aurais soigné l'école
I would've taken care of life, I would've taken care of school
L'espoir c'est pas de l'eau, l'alcool c'est pas du lait
Hope isn't water, alcohol isn't milk
Je ne suis plus Roméo, elle n'est plus Capulet
I'm no longer Romeo, she's no longer Capulet
Sourd aveugle et muet laisse mon cœur à la fouille
Deaf, blind, and mute, leave my heart for searching
Le futur improvise, le destin se débrouille
The future improvises, destiny fends for itself
Dis-leur que c'est pas moi
Tell them that it's not me
Dis-leur que c'est les autres
Tell them that it's the others
Vos problèmes sont les miens, mes billets sont les vôtres
Your problems are mine, my money is yours
Dis-leur que j'oublie rien et que demain non plus
Tell them that I don't forget anything and I won't tomorrow either
Hier me manque déjà, je ne le reverrai plus
I already miss yesterday, I won't see it again

voyou — thug / delinquent

Voyou translates to "thug" or "delinquent". It's a word that carries a strong, gritty connotation and is often associated with street life or someone who breaks the rules.

In the context of the song, the artist sings, "Si j'avais su le prix pour qu'un voyou décolle" (If I had known the price for a thug to take off). This line suggests a reflection on the consequences and sacrifices involved in a life of crime or rebellion, making voyou a central and impactful word that encapsulates the song's themes of regret and difficult choices.
