Solo Lyrics in English Zaho , Tayc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Solo by Zaho from French to English.
Jalé, jalé, jalé boubou
Jalé, jalé, jalé boubou
Hey, hey
You need to stop appearing
In my dreams
Since you're no longer here
Nothing is the same
Right now, I'm hurting
I'm hurting, I'm hurting
With you, I wanted
To reach the top
Even if all you did was reap
What you sowed
Right now, I'm hurting
I'm hurting, I'm hurting
Baby, you're giving me a headache
I want you
To be honest with me
I can't bear this weight alone anymore
The choice is yours
Baby, you're giving me a headache
I want you
To be honest with me
I can't bear this weight alone anymore
The choice is yours
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
You make my mind think
It's wrong, no
That everything is dead, no
That you did nothing
But we were two
Wishing for death
Calling each other names
Tears were shed
Baby, you're giving me a headache
I want you
To be honest with me
I can't bear this weight alone anymore
The choice is yours
Baby, you're giving me a headache
I want you
To be honest with me
I've taken too much on myself
You have the choice
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
no no no no
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone
I'll end up alone

SONG MEANING

Solo is a bittersweet R&B confession in which Algerian-born singer Zaho and French-Cameroonian crooner Tayc revisit a love that has drifted into painful territory. All those hypnotic “Jalé, jalé” chants set the mood of a restless night where an ex keeps turning up in dreams, even though “rien n'est plus pareil.” The verses list the heart’s aches one after another: headaches, sleeplessness, the weight of memories, and the frustration of feeling like only one person is carrying the relationship.

Yet the hook, endlessly repeating “Je finirai solo,” flips the song into a declaration of freedom. If honesty and balance cannot be restored, the singer would rather end up alone than keep circling a toxic cycle of blame and hurt. In two voices, Zaho and Tayc capture that decisive moment when longing gives way to self-respect, turning heartbreak into an anthem of empowerment for anyone choosing solitude over suffering.
