Musica Lyrics in English Soprano , Ninho

Home / Lyrics Translation / Soprano / Musica

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Musica by Soprano from French to English.

Underage, we flirt with madness

What'll we become later?

I don't really know, I wanted thousands, just to shine in the dark

Mom doesn't want me out at night, she says there are too many demons

A heart hardened by the street but softened by words

will take us away from all that

I dreamed of being Zidane, scoring goals, seeing myself on a poster

But we don't choose, the good Lord decided it

All the way to Massilia, it's the same daily grind

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Sorry, sorry, I know you dreamed better for me

But down in the lobby, deep inside I was hurting

And since I was hurting, I wrote only the truth

The truth will make me leave the benches of my projects

yeah

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

I didn't get rich to look like the rich, no

Out of the kennel, our sounds were screaming

We knew poverty, the street and its traps

We come out more scarred than a face could be

To behave right, we already had no points left

Thank God, music is at the exit of this roundabout

How many dead ends music saved me from

Look at the fate of two determined Phoenixes

Sorry, sorry, I know you dreamed better for me

But down in the lobby, deep inside I was hurting

And since I was hurting, I wrote only the truth

The truth will make me leave the benches of the projects

yeah

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

Sorry, sorry, I know you dreamed better for me

But the hess and the hall made me hurt deep inside

La musica, la musica

My escape, my real medical excuse

To skip the school benches and the street, it's radical

I'll never thank her enough for putting hope

In the eyes of the mama who saw me in cocaine

Found guilty in court, wanting to swim in the big pool

At night I fall asleep too late, I know they can come in the morning

Thank God, all that's behind me

If you knew how it can save a whole fam in trouble

yeah

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

I wanted the world and to make it through music

And I did it, now she's proud

And the movie could've ended tragically

An artist's life, a criminal's life

Outro

An artist's life, a criminal's life, artist's life

And the movie could've ended tragically

Hey

SONG MEANING

“Musica” is a heartfelt conversation between two self-made rappers and the people who raised them. Soprano and Ninho rewind the tape to their teen years, hanging out in the hallways of their housing projects, dreaming of football stardom or fast cash while dodging the street’s “démons.” Their mothers pray, scold and worry, yet the boys’ only dependable medicine is a notebook, a beat and a mic. Each line paints the tug-of-war between risk and rescue: one path leads to crime, the other to the stage.

The chorus flips the script from fear to triumph. Music is not just a hobby here – it is the GPS that steers them out of dead-ends, puts hope in their moms’ eyes and turns “two phoenixes” into chart-topping survivors. By the final hook, the choice is clear: the artist wins, the criminal fades and the film avoids that tragic ending. “Musica” is an anthem for anyone who has ever used art to outrun their circumstances and rewrite the ending of their own story.
