Deviens génial
Become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Tu n'sais pas encore l'enfer qui t'attend
You don't know the hell that awaits you yet
Le regard des uns, le rejet des autres
The gaze of some, the rejection of others
Si t'es bizarre, si t'es pas marrant
If you're weird, if you're not funny
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Pourquoi t'aimeraient-ils seulement comme tu es?
Why would they only love you as you are?
Si t'es pas comme eux quand t'es naturel
If you're not like them when you're natural
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Fais-les tanguer, fais-les t'regarder
Make them sway, make them look at you
Fais-les trembler, fais-les rêver
Make them tremble, make them dream
Que ça soit une chance de venir te parler
Let it be a chance to come talk to you
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
S'ils peuvent pas t'utiliser, que vont-ils faire?
If they can't use you, what will they do?
T'laisser dans un coin, te regarder d'travers
Leave you in a corner, look at you sideways
Avec le temps, tu vas devenir amer
With time, you'll become bitter
Pour l'unité, faut des ennemis communs
For unity, you need common enemies
Une tête de turc pour se faire des copains
A scapegoat to make friends
Faut bien rigoler, faut bien des potes, hein?
You gotta laugh, you gotta have friends, right?
J't'en prie, bébé, deviens pas un ennemi commun
Please, baby, don't become a common enemy
J't'en prie, force-toi, fais-toi des copains
Please, force yourself, make friends
J't'en prie, bébé, ne fais pas les potins
Please, baby, don't gossip
Pour ça, pas l'choix, faut devenir génial
For that, no choice, you have to become great

Become great, become great

Si t'es pas comme eux quand t'es naturel
If you're not like them when you're natural
Deviens puissant et intelligent
Become powerful and intelligent
Fais de l'argent, entre dans la danse
Make money, join the dance
Grandis mais reste beau comme un enfant
Grow up but stay beautiful like a child
Si t'as pas l'niveau, ils s'foutent de ta gueule
If you don't have the level, they don't give a sh*t about you
Faut être quelqu'un pour qu'on t'ouvre à l'accueil
You have to be someone for them to let you in at the reception
Faut être quelqu'un pour qu'on t'ouvre son cœur
You have to be someone for them to open their heart to you
Et même si, un jour, tu trouves ta moitié
And even if, one day, you find your other half
Tu l'empêcheras pas de s'demander
You won't stop them from wondering
'Est-ce que j'mérite pas quelqu'un de plus génial? Hein?
'Don't I deserve someone more awesome? Huh?
Moi qui suis tellement géniale'
Me, who is so awesome'
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Y a qu'moi qui t'aimeras toujours sans condition
Only I will always love you unconditionally
Les autres demanderont du rêve, du sexe, du 'seille ou juste que tu sois à leur disposition
Others will ask for dreams, sex, money, or just for you to be at their disposal
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Tu n'sais pas encore l'enfer qui t'attend
You don't know the hell that awaits you yet
Le regard des uns, le rejet des autres

Si t'es bizarre, si t'es pas marrant
If you're weird, if you're not funny
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Pourquoi t'aimeraient-ils seulement comme tu es?
Why would they only love you as you are?
Si t'es pas comme eux quand t'es naturel
If you're not like them when you're natural
Ne deviens pas comme eux mais reprends leurs gimmicks
Don't become like them but take their gimmicks
Crois pas que je valide, c'est juste que j'anticipe
Don't think I approve, it's just that I anticipate
J'vais changer les règles mais tu grandis vite
I'm going to change the rules but you're growing up fast
Ne deviens pas comme eux mais reprends leurs gimmicks
Don't become like them but take their gimmicks
Mets-toi à l'abri, fiston, faut qu't'anticipes
Protect yourself, son, you need to anticipate
J'vais changer les règles mais tu grandis vite
I'm going to change the rules but you're growing up fast
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial
Become great, become great
Deviens génial, deviens génial

Did you like this lyrics translation?
génial — awesome / brilliant
Génial translates to "awesome" or "brilliant." While it might seem like a common word, its repeated emphasis throughout the song, especially in the title "Deviens génial" (Become awesome), gives it a unique and central role.
Vald uses this word to convey a cynical yet pragmatic message: in a harsh world, you must become exceptional to gain acceptance and avoid being an "ennemi commun" (common enemy). It's a key to understanding the song's core theme about societal pressures and self-improvement.
