Jouer Le Jeu Lyrics in English The Pirouettes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jouer Le Jeu by The Pirouettes from French to English.
I've got a f*ckin' view tonight
From my room, I see the city below
Same old story
Predator lurking on the rooftops
I'm f*ckin' alone
F*ckin' blue
I've got a f*ckin' urge for you
I know what they want
And I play the game
I've got a f*ckin' career ahead of me
Play the game
I killed the minibar
It's late, but I won't go to bed
I'm way too hyped
Nothing to do
You're stuck with me for a while
I've seen the future
Turn on the screens
Pretty as your smile
Wake up the kids
The dawn of a new era
Shines under your eyelids
I already feel different
I'm f*ckin' hot tonight
And the rest, you already know
I'm gonna dance in the dark
Predator lurking in the woods
I've got a f*ckin' plan
F*ckin' craving
I've got f*ckin' sights on you
What are you waiting for
To play the game
You and me are one f*ckin' cocktail
I've seen the future
Turn on the screens
Pretty as your smile
Wake up the kids
The dawn of a new era
Shines under your eyelids
I already feel different
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
I've seen the future
Turn on the screens
Pretty as your smile
Wake up the kids
The dawn of a new era
Shines under your eyelids
I already feel different

SONG MEANING

Jouer Le Jeu plunges us into a neon-lit night where adrenaline, ambition, and desire collide. Perched in a hotel room with a killer skyline view, the singer feels both invincible and painfully alone: he raids the minibar, prowls the rooftops in his mind, and repeats a raw “putain” mantra that amplifies his hunger for connection. The city glows below like an unblinking screen, and he is determined to play the game—whether that means chasing a budding career, seducing the person on his radar, or simply dancing in the dark until dawn.

At its core, the song is a rallying cry for bold, youthful energy. “J’ai vu l’avenir” (“I saw the future”) flashes like a prophetic headline, urging everyone to switch on their screens, wake the kids, and step into a new era where anything feels possible. The refrain invites the listener to join the ultimate cocktail of love, ambition, and late-night euphoria: forget hesitation, seize the moment, and play along with life’s electrifying game.
