Roule Lyrics in English Soprano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Roule by Soprano from French to English.
The day's breaking
Life starts again
Gotta fill the bowl
But still smiling
Loved ones call
They check on me
My smile lies to them
Nothing's like before
I pretend
Among the crowd
I sing, I dance but when night comes
Your absence and your crazy laugh
Make too much noise, can't sleep
So I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Through the streets of my city
Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach
I remake the world with what-ifs
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Till the end of the night
I speed up, middle finger up
Cursing your f*cking disease
We think of you
We cry sometimes
We ask why
But that's life
At least this time, your pain's gone
You rest in peace, we believe in heaven
You wanted us strong
You wanted us happy
So I got back to working out
I'm doing my best
But at night your memory
Makes too much noise, can't sleep
So I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Through the streets of my city
Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach
I remake the world with what-ifs
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Till the end of the night
I speed up, middle finger up
Cursing your f*cking disease
Nothing'll be like before
It's time to move on
It's time to say goodbye
But on insomnia's platform
Every train leads me to him
So like every night
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Through the streets of my city
Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach
I remake the world with what-ifs
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Till the end of the night
I speed up, middle finger up
Cursing your f*cking disease
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Through the streets of my city
Tear in my eye, knot in my stomach
I remake the world with what-ifs
Yeah I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Till the end of the night
I speed up, middle finger up
Cursing your f*cking disease

SONG MEANING

Roule is a heartfelt road-trip through grief. By day, Soprano forces a smile, answers calls from friends and pretends that everything is “like before.” Yet once darkness falls, he slips behind the wheel and rolls through the empty streets of his city, eyes wet, stomach in knots. The car stereo blasts, the engine roars, and his middle finger jabs at the night as he curses the illness that stole someone he loved. Each kilometer is a conversation with memories: If only… he thinks, replaying moments and impossible scenarios while insomnia rides shotgun.

Despite its sadness, the song is powered by resilience. Soprano promises to stay strong, pick up sports, and honor the wish of the departed to see their friends “happy and tough.” The chorus’s repeated “je roule” is both a literal drive and a symbol of moving forward. “Roule” reminds us that healing is messy—tears, anger, laughter, and late-night drives can all share the same journey toward peace.
