Cavaler Lyrics in English by Timal
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cavaler by Timal from French to English.
On veut tous la Maserati, faut qu't'évites tes manies
We all want the Maserati, you need to avoid your bad habits
On avait tous le ventre vide et tu l'sais bien
We all had empty stomachs and you know it well
Tu peux m'trouver la nuit, faut qu'j'esquive les ennuis
You can find me at night, I need to avoid trouble
Nous raconte pas ta vie si tu fais rien
Don't tell us your life story if you do nothing
Je veux mon full option dans la cité
I want my fully loaded car in the hood
Moi, j'ai pris du champagne, des fois faut changer des soirs
Me, I took champagne, sometimes you have to change up the evenings
Gé-char dans la tchop, certains sont remplis d'espoir
Loaded in the whip, some are full of hope
Température qui monte comme le Maroc ou l'Espagne
Temperature rising like Morocco or Spain
Roule à fond, on fait parler les envieux
Drive fast, we make the envious talk
C'est d'la frappe, on fait monter les enchères
It's fire, we raise the stakes
Ramasser les billets, je connais les enjeux
Collecting the money, I know the stakes
J'ai d'la coco toute fraîche, t'inquiète, ça s'vend cher
I have fresh coke, don't worry, it sells for a lot
J'veux des billets d'cent, wesh
I want hundred-euro bills, yo
J'en perds le sens
I'm losing my mind
J'veux des billets d'cent, wesh
I want hundred-euro bills, yo
J'en perds le sens
I'm losing my mind
J'ai dû cavaler, cavaler, mon ami
I had to run, run, my friend
Fallait ramasser, ramasser dans la ville
Had to collect, collect in the city
J'ai dû cavaler, cavaler, mon ami
I had to run, run, my friend
Fallait ramasser, ramasser dans la ville
Had to collect, collect in the city
J'ai dû cavaler, cavaler, mon ami

Eh, refroidis-toi, fais pas l'mec de Guantanamo
Hey, cool down, don't act like the guy from Guantanamo
Y a le temps qui passe, on enchaîne les blunts à la mort
Time is passing, we chain-smoke blunts non-stop
Sonne-per qui est là, tout l'monde s'affole quand t'as un mauve
Nobody's there, everyone panics when you have a purple bill
Faut pas faire cramer, y a les keufs qui toquent à la porte
Don't get caught, the cops are knocking at the door
Roue arrière sur l'boulevard, c'est maîtrisé
Wheelie on the boulevard, it's mastered
Grosse location, on s'est croisé sur l'Élysée
Big rental, we crossed paths on the Champs-Élysées
J'ai bien accéléré, sur l'appuie-tête, tétanisé
I really accelerated, on the headrest, paralyzed
Tu sais qu'ça part en couille, s'ils veulent nous neutraliser
You know it's going to go to sh*t if they want to neutralize us
Billets j'accumule, faut pas me dire que j'en fais trop
I accumulate money, don't tell me I'm doing too much
J'aperçois les civils arriver dans le rétro'
I see the plainclothes police arriving in the rearview mirror
J'ai l'seum à mon avis, comme d'habitude, ils ont les crocs
I'm p*ssed off, in my opinion, as usual, they're hungry
Mais c'est la routine, on connaît bien, laisse faire les pros
But it's routine, we know it well, let the pros handle it
Billets j'accumule, faut pas me dire que j'en fais trop
I accumulate money, don't tell me I'm doing too much
J'aperçois les civils arriver dans le rétro
I see the plainclothes police arriving in the rearview mirror
J'ai l'seum à mon avis, comme d'habitude ils ont les crocs
I'm p*ssed off, in my opinion, as usual, they're hungry
Mais c'est la routine, on connaît bien, laisse faire les pros
But it's routine, we know it well, let the pros handle it

I want hundred-euro bills, yo
J'en perds le sens
I'm losing my mind
J'veux des billets d'cent, wesh
I want hundred-euro bills, yo
J'en perds le sens
I'm losing my mind
J'ai dû cavaler, cavaler, mon ami

Fallait ramasser, ramasser dans la ville

cavaler — to run / to hustle
Cavaler literally means "to gallop" or "to run quickly", often with a sense of urgency. In French slang, it's commonly used to mean "to hustle" or "to run around" to make money or escape trouble.
In Timal's song, he repeats "J'ai dû cavaler, cavaler, mon ami" (I had to hustle, hustle, my friend), emphasizing the constant grind and effort required to succeed and avoid problems in his environment. It's a dynamic word that captures the song's energetic and street-smart vibe.
