La Zone Lyrics in English by Timal
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Zone by Timal from French to English.
J'peux pas m'la raconter
I can't show off
J'suis dans l'Cartel pas plus beau qu'un rat d'égout
I'm in the Cartel, no prettier than a sewer rat
Et pas du genre à m'montrer, issu des quartiers
And not the type to show myself, from the hood
Donc très tôt la rage j'découvre
So very early I discover rage
Ah, c'est grave dégueu'
Ah, it's really disgusting
Plusieurs journées on reste debout
Several days we stay awake
Donc y a moins d'studio, j'vends l'teuteu
So there's less studio, I sell the weed
À ceux qui suivent un dealer, qu'ils tiennent le coup
To those who follow a dealer, may they hold on
En descente mon frère
On a run, my brother
Je sais déjà je passe par où l'ami
I already know where I'm going, my friend
Illicite, ter-ter, repère, j'opère, ça ronfle la miff
Illicit, territory, spot, I operate, the family's sleeping
Et le cabriolet direct à 200-en, c'est carré
And the convertible straight to 200, it's solid
Deux blocs de carreau j'mets pas 200 ans
Two blocks of hash, I don't take 200 years
(Frérot tranquille ou quoi? Il t'fallait quoi?)
(Bro, all good? What did you need?)
Cache la bécane j'ai vu les porcs ma gueule en descendant
Hide the bike, I saw the pigs, mate, coming down
Charbonneur opé, ah tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone
Hard worker ready, ah you know what's happening in the area
Argent sale ok, à part ça y a rien dans la zone
Dirty money okay, apart from that there's nothing in the area
Écœuré par le bât', j'rêve du chiffre d'affaire d'Amazon
Disgusted by the system, I dream of Amazon's revenue
La police à nos pattes, je sais qu'c'est pareil dans ta zone
The police on our heels, I know it's the same in your area
(Tiens, mets le dans l'coffre)
(Here, put it in the trunk)
(Vas-y allume l'pétard, putain)
(Go ahead, light the joint, f*ck)
J'me réveille j'suis en pétard
I wake up, I'm p*ssed off
Dans trente minutes ça bosse, c'est embêtant
In thirty minutes we work, it's annoying
Tn, scooter en zipeush
Tns, scooter on the move
J'suis dans la cité pour pour mama c'est inquiétant
I'm in the hood, for mama it's worrying
J'suis dans l'quartier j'fais qu'm'accrocher
I'm in the neighborhood, I just hold on
J'me dis j'me prends des vacances le mois prochain
I tell myself I'm taking a vacation next month
On fera tout pour remplir sa poche
We'll do everything to fill his pocket
Mais j'suis mal que si un stup il m'approche
But I'm only in trouble if a narc approaches me
T'as capté j'suis comme toi
You got it, I'm like you
Ok j'fais du son c'est comme d'hab, opé'
Okay, I make music, it's as usual, ready
Sur l'terrain pour un quadruplé, cramponné, 22 et puis faut galoper
On the field for a quadruple, cleated, 22 and then gotta hustle
Souvent on pense à l'oseille, et tu sais j'ai la dalle au fait
Often we think about money, and you know I'm hungry by the way
Big up au charbon, l'usine, ient-cli prie pour un autre offert
Big up to the hustle, the factory, client prays for another freebie
Charbonneur opé, ah tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone
Hard worker ready, ah you know what's happening in the area
Argent sale ok, à part ça y a rien dans la zone
Dirty money okay, apart from that there's nothing in the area
Écœuré par le bât', j'rêve du chiffre d'affaire d'Amazon
Disgusted by the system, I dream of Amazon's revenue
La police à nos pattes, je sais qu'c'est pareil dans ta zone
The police on our heels, I know it's the same in your area
Charbonneur opé, ah tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone
Hard worker ready, ah you know what's happening in the area
Argent sale ok, à part ça y a rien dans la zone
Dirty money okay, apart from that there's nothing in the area
Écœuré par le bât', j'rêve du chiffre d'affaire d'Amazon
Disgusted by the system, I dream of Amazon's revenue
La police à nos pattes, je sais qu'c'est pareil dans ta zone
The police on our heels, I know it's the same in your area
Khey, tu le sais, on barode la moto volée en été
Bro, you know it, we cruise the stolen motorcycle in summer
Si tu l'as fait, quelque part c'est que pareil on était
If you did it, somewhere we were the same
Oui, en effet, policía, droga, volant pété
Yes, indeed, police, drugs, broken steering wheel
Mais on est prêt, secteur quadrillé, scooter, VTT
But we're ready, sector cordoned off, scooter, mountain bike
Khey, tu le sais, on barode la moto volée en été
Bro, you know it, we cruise the stolen motorcycle in summer
Si tu l'as fait, quelque part c'est que pareil on était

Oui, en effet, policía, droga, volant pété

Mais on est prêt, secteur quadrillé, scooter, VTT

Khey, tu le sais
Bro, you know it
(Tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone)
(You know what's happening in the area)
Tu l'as fait
You did it
(Tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone)
(You know what's happening in the area)
En effet
Indeed
(Tu sais c'qui s'passe dans la zone)
(You know what's happening in the area)
On est prêt
We're ready
(Tu sais qu'c'est pareil dans ta zone)
(You know it's the same in your area)
