Je Sais Lyrics in English by Timal
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Sais by Timal from French to English.
Je sais qu't'aimerais me voir mais bon j'ai l'moral à zéro
I know you'd like to see me but well, I'm feeling down
J't'esquiverai ce week-end juste pour rester dans la zer
I'll avoid you this weekend just to stay in my funk
Faut comprendre qu'avec le banc du quartier je suis sé-po
You have to understand that I'm chilling with the neighborhood bench
Et qu'tu t'énerves quand tu dis qu'je prends mes airs
And that you get mad when you say I'm putting on airs
On est en froid donc on se parle pas
We're on bad terms so we don't talk
J'irai m'bourrer en scred' sans passer par le bar
I'll go get wasted on the sly without going to the bar
Et tu me dis 't'es où?' quand je traîne tard le soir
And you tell me "where are you?" when I hang out late at night
J'fume mon dernier pétard bloqué, j'ai pas de part
I smoke my last joint, stuck, I have no part
Me cherche pas tu sais qu'j'suis dans dans la ville
Don't look for me, you know I'm in the city
Au pied d'une tour, que j'pense à ma villa
At the foot of a tower, thinking about my villa
Je resterai quetou c'est pour la vida
I'll stay all in, it's for the grind
Ici on charbonne, gros on vit pas
Here we hustle, bro we don't live
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Et puis j'suis beaucoup trop ter-ter je crois bien qu'on court à perte
And then I'm way too street, I think we're running at a loss
J'ai connu la paire d'Asics, attendre mes loss' d'vant la porte
I knew the pair of Asics, waiting for my stuff in front of the door
Mais faut comprendre que j'fais pas la fête, je me cogne juste à la verte
But you have to understand that I don't party, I just hit the green
Et doucement calée ma copine prend pas la tête
And quietly chilling, my girlfriend doesn't complain
Y a que quand on dort qu'on voit le temps passer vite
It's only when we sleep that we see time pass quickly
Et j'ai pas d'batterie quand tu me dis 'tiens, passe me voir'
And I don't have battery when you tell me "hey, come see me"
J'traîne avec des mecs qui ont rarement le casier vide
I hang out with guys who rarely have an empty record
J'sors de G.A.V tant pis si tu veux pas me croire
I'm coming out of police custody, too bad if you don't want to believe me
Et j'serai khabat quand on se reverra
And I'll be wasted when we see each other again
Encore une fois j'te promets la French Riviera
Again I promise you the French Riviera
Mais tu me dis 'je mens, un jour ça se saura'
But you tell me "I'm lying, one day it will be known"
'Pour l'instant tu fais que dalle, faudrait qu'tu rêves moins'
"For now you do nothing, you should dream less"
Me cherche pas tu sais qu'j'suis dans dans la ville
Don't look for me, you know I'm in the city
Au pied d'une tour, que j'pense à ma villa
At the foot of a tower, thinking about my villa
Je resterai quetou c'est pour la vida
I'll stay all in, it's for the grind
Ici on charbonne, gros on vit pas
Here we hustle, bro we don't live
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Jeunesse touchée, dehors sous shit, le soleil couché
Youth affected, outside on hash, the sun set
Jeunesse touchée, dehors sous shit, le soleil couché
Youth affected, outside on hash, the sun set
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Je sais, que les jaloux nous analysent
I know, that the jealous ones analyze us
Hi hey, je fume la beuh qui paralyse
Hi hey, I smoke the weed that paralyzes
Jeunesse touchée, dehors sous shit, le soleil couché
Youth affected, outside on hash, the sun set

Did you like this lyrics translation?
quetou — quiet / discreet
Quetou is a slang term, a verlan (backwards slang) inversion of "tranquille," which means quiet, calm, or discreet. It's a word commonly used in French street slang and hip-hop culture.
In the song, Timal says, "Je resterai quetou c'est pour la vida," meaning "I'll stay quiet/discreet, that's for life." This reflects a common theme in rap music of staying low-key and not drawing unnecessary attention, especially in the context of street life. It's an interesting word because it's not standard French, offering a glimpse into contemporary spoken French and its cultural nuances.
